The up- I»er sepal is erect and green, with a whitisri margin; the lip i« entire (Fig. LXXXVII., 3); the spur slender, almost ^raight, and hlunt (Fig. LXXXVII., 4); and the an- ther sacs are widely divergent (Fig. LXXXVII., 6). The tall, white bo^-orchi*, Habenaria diletata, is found at the same time and in similar places. Its stem is abundantly supplied with narrow linear leaves; its flowers are white; the spur is incurbed; the lip dilated at the base, and the glandH of the pollinia art; lai^e and close together. Habenaria bracteata is often found in grassy woods and meadows, from New Brunswick to British Columbia. Green- ish flowers, with white, sac-like spurs ari^e from the axils of very long bracts. A few species of fringed orchis are occasionally seen, especially in the east. Habenaria ble- phariglottis, the white-fringed orahia, is very charming. Pure white, fragrant flowers with long spurs and deeply fringed lips form long slender spikes. Growing in swamps and peat-bogs, the beauty of the plant ia little known. The long-tongued sphinx moth appreciate! its nectar, and ai a penalty for his greed has his eyes plaster- ed with the aticky disks of the pollen- masses.
