No. 1146, 
MALAXIS OPHIOGLOSSOIDES. 
Class, Order. 
GYNANDRIA MONANDRIA. 
This is a minute and curious plant, а 
native of North America, where it is rare, 
and is found growing in rich shady woods, 
near the roots of trees. Its height is about 
four or five inches. 
With usit is difficult to preserve; we have 
succeeded best by placing it in a cold frame 
during winter, and in summer in the shade, 
potted in a mixture of peat earth, loam, 
and decayed sawdust. We have never been 
able to propagate the plant.
