ORCHIDACEiE 



H. dilatata and similar distinctions, are too much influenced by the age of 

 the flowers examined to be seriously considered in the differen- 

 tiation of plants supposed to be distinct. 



When one studies the work of European botanists devoted to 

 our orchid flora, the fact must not be overlooked that they often 

 had to draw conclusions from inadequate material and were un- 

 able to ascertain the range of variation or the extent and effects 

 of distribution.
