No. 931. 

 NEOTTIA SPIRALIS. 



A native of various parts of Europe, in 

 grassy open pastures : Gerarde, who has 

 given a neat figure of it, found it in several 

 places near London, as at Islington, Barn 

 Elms, and upon a common heath, near 

 Stepney. All such places have been so 

 changed since his days, that it would be 

 in vain to seek for this plant now in any of 



It flowers in September, and the blossoms 

 have an agreeable scent. We have kept it 

 in a pot, in peat and vegetable earth, and 

 placed it in the shade during the summer, 

 which seems to suit it pretty well.
