T!iis species is said to grow In tlie bogs of Carolina, and to have 

 been introduced into England by Mr. Fraser. A= it is cultivated in 

 tiie garden at Kew and has therefore been seen in a living state the 

 high authority of Sir J. E. Smith must ^ive it a place amon- our spe- 

 cies. I have not myself seen any species strictly one flowered, but it 

 IS not rare to see plants of the H. erecta having 6ut one flower.
