ORCHIDACEiE 



H. orbiculata which rises the stalk about a foot or eighteen inches high, which 

 bears a loose spike of greenish-white flowers. It is known in the 

 mountains by the name of Heal-alV Pursh, loc. cit. 



In the herbarium at Kew there is a specimen of Hahenaria 

 orbiculata which appears to be the type. On the reverse of the 

 sheet on which it is mounted, in the upper left-hand corner, the 

 name "Fred Pursh" is written. Presumably, this specimen was 

 obtained by Hooker when the Lambert collection was sold, as 

 Lambert possessed Pursh's herbarium. The specimen in question 

 is surely conspecific with Platanthera Menziesii^
