Epipactis Convallarioides, Sp. pi. 4 . p. 88. Pursh, 2. p. 591. 
Root fasciculate. Stem about a foot high, bearing near the middle two 
opposite sessile leaves. Leaves cordate-ovate, acute, nerved, glabrous. 
Flowers small, in a terminal raceme. Pedicels three to four lines long, 
bracteal leaves very small. Petals five, somewhat reflected, greenish. La- 
helium three or four times as long as the petals, deeply two-cleft, the seg- 
ments acute. Capsule oval. 
This plant from the acute segments of the labellum probably belongs to 
the L. Cordata as described by Mr. Nuttall, but as all the plants sent me 
from the north as the E. Convallarioides have this characteristic also, I 
have retained this name until I can have an opportunity of comparing the 
two species.
