Hahenaria clavellata is a very distinct species with no near 

 ally in North America. The appendages of the gynostemium are 

 quite characteristic. These are three in number, erect and tuber- 

 culate.

^The type in Michaux's herbarium at the Paris Museum is annotated as follows: "Orchis 

 clavellata, calcare clavato, labello ignoto. Carolina? innominato." It would thus appear 

 that Michaux was unfamiliar with the lip of the plant, as suggested by Boott, in a letter 

 to Lindley quoted on pages 277, 278 of Gen. ^ Sp. Orch. (A. A. E.)
