OROBANCHES AND PEDICULARIS. 
British Orchids are as the only plants vm 
puzzle the ordinary cultivator ; there is a whol 
host of plants which the fric botanist мм 
meets with by copses, &c., in his rambles, but which 
are rarely if ever seen within the precincts of the 
garden—not because they lack beauty—many of them 
handsome as our vins tics— but wed

I was much interested in an article on this plant 
by your 
Geneva, in which the following occurs :—“ G. pyre- 
naicum, if not identical with the above, would seem 
to be aclosely allied species.” As we regard the two 
species in gardens in this country they are perfectly 
distinct—so distinct, indeed, that in Nyman’s 
Conspectus Europeus they are put under different 
genera, viz., Sieversia and Geum , the former con- 
taining those with 
hybridise I have not the slightest doubt, and the
