(A) Calopogon; Grass Pink (Culopogon pulchellus\ 
is an exquisite orchid with a loose raceme of four td 
twelve delicate pink flowers, at the top of a scape rang¬ 
ing from 6 to 15 in. long. The flowers are apparently 
upside down as the lip is at the top; it is narrow at 
the base but broadens into a broad hooked tip, crested 
on the under side. A single grasslike leaf sheathes the 
flower scape near its base, as it rises from the solid 
bulb. It grows in deep swamps and bogs, from New¬ 
foundland to Minn, and south to the Gulf, flowering in 
June and July. 
(B) Arethusa; Indian Pink (Arethusa bullosa) 
has a solitary magenta-pink blossom topping its slender 
scape that rises from 5 to 10 in. in height. The petals 
and sepals are similar in shape and in their proper 
positions at the top of the flower; the lip rises, then 
abruptly turns downwards, broadens and is adorned 
with three to five yellow and white crests; margin of 
lip wavy and sometimes spotted with crimson. From 
Newfoundland to Minn, and south to Pa. and Mo., 
Arethusa has been found blooming in swamps during 
May and June.
