which may be found in swampy places 

 if one does not mind getting the feet

long, or less, and should 



be examined under a 



glass. It blooms in

son flower, arethusa, 



and snake's mouth ; in- 

 deed, the latter is its 



boon companion ; the 

 ^ two are most likely to 



be found in each other's 



company. The flower
