CYPRIPEDIUM HUMILE, 
Class. Order. 
GYNANDRIA DIANDRIA. 
The Cypripedium Humile of Willdenow, 
or Acaule of older writers, is a native of 
North America. We have received it many 
times from our Philadelphia friends; in the 
TEE of which Br M is here wild, 
much thinned * ; 
We have always found it to be a difficult 
plant to manage, and can seldom keep it 
more than two or three years. Its native 
course the better. Out of doors our springs 
` seem too cold for this plant; it should, there- 
fore, be kept under glass at that season : 
it flowers, when first imported, very freely, 
in May or June. We have never been able 
to propagate it; and, being a very beautiful 
plant, we shall not be satisfied with ourselves 
till we can get it to ph better thamit yet 
has done.
