Cypripedium pubescens. i 1 



Cypripedium pubescens is a rare plant in the middle states, be- 

 coming more frequent towards the north. In the vicinity of this city 

 above the falls of Schuylkill on the west side, it was, some years ago, 

 somewhat frequent, but it has latterly almost entirely disappeared 

 from that locality. Above the falls as high as French Creek, it is to 

 be found sparingly. 



The figure represents the plant of its common size— the flowers 

 often being much larger.
