No. 532. 
LISTERA CORDATA. 
Class, Order. 
GYNANDRIA  =MONANDRIA. 
This minute plant is a native of the 
northern parts of Europe, in moist boggy 
ground. Its flowers are exceedingly cu- 
rious ; they appear in May and June, and 
last along time. Like most of the Orchidez, 
it is difficult to cultivate: we have had it 
thrive pretty well in a pot in peat earth, and 
placed in a shady situation, without any 
covering in winter. 
J. Bauhin’s representation of this plant, 
vol. iii. 534, is extremely rude. Hialler’s 
Ophrys foliis cordatis, Tab. 22, gives a very 
good idea of it.
