THE ALPINE FLORA 



De ta grande corollc blanche 

 Le parfum grise mon cerveau; 

 Et je lis un chant tout nouveau 

 Dans le sein de ta fleur qui penche. 



Dans le fond du bois protecteur 

 Vis en paix, Pyrole uniflore, 

 Et que jamais nul ne deflore 

 Ton innocence et ta candeur. 



P. rotundi folia * (PL LXX) or "Faux muguet". Forms 

 large trusses of noble and severe green, enhanced in 

 July and August by beautiful racemes of rosy white 

 flowers which are faintly perfumed and remind one 

 slightly of lilies of the valley (muguet). P. secunda* 

 (PL LXX), differs from it in ovate, acuminate leaves, 

 small, greenish flowers.
