Throughout the Northern states, in similar situations with 

 the preceding : not uncommon. Flowers in July. 



Obs. This species differs from the preceding principally in 

 having greenish-yellow flowers, with a lanceolate lip which is 

 not dilated at the base. The spur is about one half the length 

 of the ovarium, obtuse or somewhat acute and incurved. The 

 size of the plant is quite variable. It often occurs 6 — 12 inches 

 in height, with a somewhat ovate or oblong spike of flowers. 

 In this state it agrees entirely with specimens of H. hyperborea 

 collected in the arctic regions of America by Dr. Richardson. 

 In favourable situations it not unfrequently attains the height of 

 2 or 3 feet, with a virgate spike 6 — S inches in length, and in 

 this state is the H. dilatata of most American botanists.
