64 OUR NATIVE ORCHIDS 



three-parted lip is only a little cut or notched on its edges;^ 

 and has no fringe. 



The inner workings of this orchid are as complex and 

 wonderful as those of its fringed sisters and will prove as 

 interesting to study as they. It grows in moist meadows 

 all over the Eastern States from New Jersey to Virginia 

 and Kentucky, and as far west as Illinois, and blossoms in 

 July and August.
