Text Appearing Before Image:
THE ORCHIDS OF NEW ENGLAND. 65 ons, there is a furrow or median line on the lip, corresponding probably to the nectar-secreting groove in Listera, and as the edges of the lip curve up at the sides, an insect would have but one easy mode of entrance offered, and in crawling up this pas- sage-way would be led directly under the anther. Barton gives a fairly good plate of this Liparis, calling it Malaxis longifolia, the Long-leaved Malaxis, and describes the root as " a roundish bulb, sending off a few radicles and a large offset, the germ of a new plant." England produces a smaller species, and this, together with Listera ovata, is considered by Grant Allen to be degenerating like H. viridis. Our more common species, L. lilii- folia, Barton's Lily-leaved Malaxis, with brownish-purple, larger-lipped flowers, follows L. Lceselii in the course of a week or so. This species grows as far south as Georgia; L. Lceselii ranges from New England and the Middle States to Wisconsin and above the" 50th parallel. I was quite impressed by the diminutive size of Listera cordata until I opened an herbarium containing among its Orchids a row of fully devel- oped plants related to Liparis (Malaxis paludosa from Scotland), few of them over an inch high. Some pasture, threaded by sluggisn streams, or some wet road-side, will, about the middle of June, afford the FlG> ^--Lily-leaved Liparis. L. liliifolia. next Orchid and the first of the genus Spiranthes or Ladies' Tresses; 5. latifolia, the Broad-leaved Spiranthes. The small, white blossoms, climbing spirally up their spike, and suggesting to a highly imaginative person a lock of hair, would seem to have originated the popular name; 5
