§ 1. CucuLLARiA. Acaulesceut and scapose : corolla white or tipped with 

 cream-color or flesh-color, flattened : a gland or gibbosity at base of middle fila- 

 ments, the more conspicuous as the nectariferous petals are more saccate : seeds 

 crested. — Capnorchis, Boerh. Ind. Alt. PI. Hart. Lugd.-Bat. 309, not Borkh.

* Intloresceuce simple aud racemiform, several-one-flowered, the uppermost flower earliest : 

 petioles aud scapes a sjjau high : leaves teruately decompound, the lobes linear or nearly 

 so. — Dicentniy Beruh. Linuaia, viii. 468. 

 D. TENUiFOLiA, DC. (that is, Dicli/tra tenuifoUa & D. lachenaliceflora, DC. Syst. ii. 110, 

 Cori/dalis tenuijUta, Pursh), described from Pallas's specimens, belongs to the Asiatic coast and 

 is not known ou the American side. It is distinguished by its fibrous roots from a small root- 

 stock, very much aud finely dissected leaves, the divisions very narrow, acute, aud crowded, 

 l-.'j-flowered scape, corolla nearly an inch long, the narrow upper half of the outer petals 

 recurving. 



D. pauciflora, Watson. A span or more high from thickish-filiform and fleshy creeping 

 and branching rootstocks which bear small granular bulblets : leaves small, 2-3-ternate and 

 the divisions laciniately subpinnatifid into lanceolate- or spatulate-liuear lobes : scape bearing 

 2 or .3 or sometimes solitary' nodding flowers : corolla almost inch long, white or slightly 

 flesh-colored, withering-persistent ; outer petals M'ith saccate spur and linear-oblong recurving 

 tip considerably shorter than the body ; inner with ligulate claw abruptly contracted at apex 

 into a short stalk, which abruptly dilates into the elongated ligulate-spatulate lamina : style 

 elongated. — Bot. Calif, ii. 429. — N. California, near snow on Scott Mountains, in summer, 

 Greene. ; also, at less elevation, near Castle Lake, Leminon.^ 

 D. uniflora, Kellogg. Smaller, 2 to 4 inches high, from a fascicle of narrow-fusiform 

 and per])endicular fleshy tul)ers : leaves less compound and lobes more spatulate : scape 

 1-2-flowered : flower seemiugly erect, half inch long ; outer petals merely gibbous-saccate at 

 base, their spatulate-liuear recurving tips very much longer than the body ; inner with 

 lamina dilated and hastate at base directly from the oblong-linear claw : style short. — Proc.

 D. Canadensis, DC. (Squirrel-corn.) A span or two high, from filiform creeping 

 rootstocks bearing clusters of golden yellow fleshy grains about the size of those of Indian 

 corn (each the thickened base of a petiole or in place of it) : leaves usually once or twice 

 ternately and then quinately compound, then pinnately parted into linear divisions : scape 

 bearing few or several nodding fragrant flowers : corolla pearl-white or tinged with rose, 

 tardily deciduous, at most inch long, cordate in outline (the saccate bases short and round- 

 ish), outer petals conuivent up to the short ovate-saccate spreading tips ; inner conspicu-
