48 FLORA TELLUR. 



Uiulcr the names of Arethusa medeoloides and 

 vGitic. the American Authors have hlended 2 

 or 3 plants, of same hahit, very unhkc the other 

 Orchides, but hardly of same Genus, which I 

 noticed since 1804, see my new flora for other 

 particulars. All quite distinct from Pogonia 

 ophioglossoides in habit and flowers. ManyG. 

 were blended in Arethusa, the A. ciliaris L. 

 else Orchis pectinata W. is the Bartholinia do 

 of Brown akin to Blephariglotis but habit un- 

 like unifoliate.
