Damasonium alpinum, &c. Bauh. Hist. v. 3. p. 2. 516./. noi descr. 



In watery places, or swampy meadows, especially on a chalky or 

 gravelly soil. 



Perennial. Jukj, August. 



Habit like the first species, but the stem not above 12 or 15 inches 

 high. Leaves narrower and not plaited ; the lowermost only 

 inclining to ovate ; the rest lanceolate, tapering to a point. 

 FL fewer, larger, and very handsome. Pet. internally white, 

 striped with crimson. Lip longer than the calyx, white, ele- 

 gantly striped and variegated with crimson ; its terminal lobe 

 rounded, or heart-shaped, without a point, concave, strongly 

 and unequally notched and crenate, the disk furnished at the 

 base with an elevated notched crest. Germen downy. 



Mr. Hudson, from some strange mistake, has asserted that this 

 plant, if removed into a garden, or dry .'5oil, changes the fol- 

 lowing year to E. latifolia. They are unquestionably perfectly 

 distinct species. Linnseus unluckily gave the name oilongifolia 

 to this and others confounded with it, because among them are 

 some long-leaved species ; but palustris is more suitable, and 

 has a prior right. 



4. E. grandifiora. Large White Helleboiine. 



Leaves elliptic-lanceolate. Bracteas longer than the smooth 

 germen. Flowers sessile, erect. Lip abrupt, shorter 

 than the calyx, with elevated lines on the disk.
