Text Appearing Before Image:
THE ORCHIDS OF NEW ENGLAND. 43 the thick end of the pollinium inwards so that the stem and the viscid surface of the disc are no longer parallel as they were at first, and as they are represented in the section, fig. 9, C. At the same time, the drum rotates through nearly a quarter of a circle, and this moves the stalk downward like the hand of a clock, depressing the thick end of the pollinium/' A disc once affixed to the side of an insect's face, by the time another flower on another plant is reached, " the pollen-bearing end of the pollinium will have moved downward and inward and will infallibly strike . the broad stigmatic surface between the anther-cells. The little rudimentary tail projecting beyond the drum-like pedicel shows that the disc has been carried a little inward, and that originally the two discs stood even further in advance of the stigma than they do at present." Habenaria viridis, var. bracteata, the Bracted Green Orchis, figures in old bot- anies as Platanthera bracteata. The Euro- pean species, H. viridis, according to Dar- H- viridis, var. bracteata. win, has the viscid under side of each disc " enclosed in a small pouch ;" " this," says Gray, " is not yet verified in ours." Although it is usually assigned to the following month, I gen- erally find the Bracted Green Habenaria blooming with H. Hookeriy and therefore introduce it here. It has the same green- ish-yellow colors, but differs in several respects, such as a leafy stem, bristling bracts, smaller flowers with toothed lip and very short, two-lobed, bag-shaped nectary which, it would seem, almost any insect could rifle. Neither beautiful nor singular, as far as outward appearance goes, it occupies a neutral position, and
