No. 452, 
HABENARIA FIMBRIATA, 
Class, Order. 
GYNANDRIA  MONANDRIA. 
This rare and beautiful species is a native 
of North America, growing, according to 
Pursh, in low meadows and on high moun- 
tain bogs, from Canada to Pennsylvania. 
Our plant was about a foot in height, and 
flowered in the month of July: like the 
whole of this family, it is untractable and 
difficult to cultivate: we have hitherto kept 
it in a pot in peat earth, protected by a 
frame in winter; but it has never given us 
any hopes of increasing it.
