In Catesby's Herbarium, preserved at the British Museum of 

 Natural History, there is a very good specimen of this species to- 

 gether with two other specimens of the genus, probably H. nivea 

 and H. repens. In the Gronovian Herbarium there is a speci- 

 men which has been identified as Habenaria ciliaris R. Br., ac- 

 companied by the following description : " Orchis nectarii labio 

 lanceolato ciliato, seta germine into7^to longiore.'' Probably Gro- 

 novius confused two species in his work on the flora of Virginia.
