Tephrosia virginica, in dry sandy fields and woods, Pennsylvania and 



Indiana, 

 p , „ f in rich sandy loam, Montreal. The roots die after 



1 renanthes alDa, \ flowering, but produce offsets, which is their 



racemosa,^ mo de of propagation. 

 Liatris macrostachya, ? in rich dry sandy fields, Ohio and Indiana. All the 



graminifolia, ) species of this genus are handsome. 



Eupatorium coelestinum, in rich alluvial soil, at Hindostan, Indiana. A fine 



species. 

 Aster concolor, in dry sandy pine woods, New Jersey. The finest of the 



genus that I have seen. 

 Habenaria ciliaris, in dry sandy loam, Montreal and Pennsylvania. {Fig. 

 34. b.) 

 - blephariglottis, in a sphagnous swamp, Quebec. I grow it in 



sphagnum and bog earth. 



tridentata, in a sphagnous swamp, L. Simcoe. 



— — — bracteata, in rich shady woods, Montreal. 



: orbicularis, in dry sandy loam, Montreal. 



. macrophylla, in rich moist soil, shady woods, Montreal. Rare. 



.i fimbriata, in moist meadows and woods, Montreal. Grows well 

 in bog earth and sand kept moist. 

 Orchis spectabilis, in rich shady woods, Montreal. 

 Goodyera pubescens, in dry shady woods, among half-rotten leaves, 



Montreal. 

 Arethusa bulbosa, in dry woods, Montreal. In sphagnous swamps, Lake 

 Simcoe. 



ophioglossoides, in similar soils with the preceding. 



Malaxis ophioglossoides, in moist soils, Halifax. 



umfoha, ) : m gim ^ ar soil Montreal. 



Correana, ) ' 



Calopogon pulchellum, generally in sphagnous swamps, Montreal and Lake 

 Simcoe, where some acres are covered with it, and a number 

 of rare orchideae. 1 once found this plant and Cypripedium 

 spectabile growing in a dry sandy wood near York, North Ca- 

 rolina, and both flowering equally as well as when grown in a 

 swamp, which seems to be their natural habitation. I believe 

 that many plants will grow in very different kinds of soil. 

 Calypso borealis, amongst the half-rotten leaves of hemlock, spruce, larch, 

 arborvitae, &c. and always in dry situations. This beautiful little 

 plant I have only found in the Island of Montreal j a place rich 

 in plants, particularly orchideae. 

 Cypripedium pubescens, (Jig. 34. c.) ? . g situations, Montreal. 



spectabile, \ lJ 



arietinum, in a swamp,~ Montreal ; which, I believe, is the 



only place where it has ever been found. It was discovered 

 about 1808, by Mr. Robert Cleghorn, Montreal, and by him 

 sent to London. These three species will grow well in 

 vegetable mould and sand, and should be kept moist and 

 shady. (Fig. 34. d.) 



—, humile, Quebec and Montreal. This species I have never 



observed growing in the same soil as the others, being 

 always to be found in very dry situations, and frequently 

 in company with Trillium pictum, in rich vegetable soil, 

 with a sandy subsoil. It does not require so much water 

 as the others, and seems more difficult to cultivate.
