A single individual of this exceedingly rare and very 
curious plant, sprang up from among some turfs imported 
from Labrador by the Horticultural Society, in whose 
garden at Chiswick our drawing was made, in J uly 1824, 
It perished soon afterwards, having shed its seed; but no 
traces of the plant have been discovered this season. It 
probably is scarcely capable of cultivation, except, as in 
the present instance, under accidental circumstances. 
Although there appear to be no traces of glands in the 
mouth of the lip of this species, their place being: sup- 
plied by a thickening of the orifice, we nevertheless concur 
.
