DESCRIPTIONS OF PLANTS 185 



description of the species is unfortunately illustrated by a wood-block 

 of Goodyera repe?ts, an orchid of a genus named by Robert Brown in 

 honour of Goodyer, thus unfortunately connecting his name with a plant 

 which he had probably never seen. Goodyer's ' Palma Christi' or 

 * Creeping-rooted Satyrion ' has been identified by Canon Vaughan as 

 Epipactis palusiris, a species to be found in boggy situations in several 

 parts of Hampshire. Brown, thinking that it was the same as a rare 

 northern orchid, found in certain fir-woods in Cumberland and Scotland, 

 gave it the name of Goodyera repens in honour of our Hampshire 

 botanist, who, it is suggested, might possibly have met with a specimen 

 of this rare northern plant in the low-lying grounds between Petersfield 

 and Maple-Durham.]
