A hardy terrestrial Orchid, with white flowers spotted 
Native of Northern Russia, Siberia, and North America. (Fig. 112.) 
This chaming plant has lately flowered with Mr. Van Houtte, of Ghent M. Planchon may well call it « une vraie 
perle pour les jardms - It is one of the most exquisitely beautiful little things imaginable. A diminutive stem, a few 
inches high, with a pair of broad plaited leaves, bears one ' 
solitary flower as large as a pigeon's egg, most curiously 
painted with rich deep purple upon a pure white ground. 
This plant has been occasionally received from Russia 
in a living state, but no English gardener has managed 
even to keep it alive. Mr. Van Houtte does not say 
how he proceeded ; but since it is clearly cultivable, it 
will be easy for those who have friends in Canada or at 
Moscow, to procure supplies with which further experi- 
ments may be tried. We can only say that it grows in 
morasses and bogs.
