ORCHIDS FOR PARLOR CULTURE. 147 



GOODTERA. 



Pretty terrestrial orchids, of which two species, natives of 

 shady woods, are very pretty parlor plants. 



G. pubescens and repens are not rare plants, but if potted 

 in rich leaf mould they are very showy in window culture. 

 The foliage is green, with silver tracery ; the flowers white, 

 in erect spikes. 



Many rare exotics possess less beauty than these simple 

 native plants.
