occupied had they been developed. Not only do they stand in this position but the column in some cases . . . has on each side a prominent ridge, running from them to the bases or mid-ribs of the two upper petals; that is, in the proper position of the filaments of these two stamens. It is impossi- ble to doubt that the two membranes of the clinandrum in Malaxis are formed by these two anthers in a rudimentary and modified condition. Now, from the perfect clinandrum of Malaxis, through that of Spiranthes, Goodyera, Epi- pactis latifoliay and E. pa- lustrisy to the minute and slightly flattened auricles in the genus Orchis, a perfect gradation can be traced. Hence I conclude that these auricles are doubly rudimentary; that is they are rudiments of the membranous sides of the clinandrum, these membranes themselves being rudiments of the two anthers so often referred to. . . . Such vessels may quite disappear. . . . The two upper anthers of the inner whorl are fertile in Cypripedium, and in other cases are generally represented either by membranous expansions or by minute auricles. . . . These auricles, however, are some- times quite absent, as in some species of Ophrys." * Summer, in her flight, invariably forgets to drop one flower from her cornucopia at the proper time; at least it seems so, when we behold at this late day, inl damp woods, a little plant that brings the Pogonias to mind. It is the Nodding or Pendent Pogonia (P. penduld), and has still another name, Triphora pen- dula, none as musical as the rustic one, Three Birds. This Po- Fig. 36. 1.
