Like the sweet \'iolet «jf old country hedgerows it betrays its presence by its fine perfume, though often deep hidden among the mosses and weeds which are found in the peat bogs where it grows. We have yet another I'yrola with round green bell-shaped flowers and dark tipped anthers. This is Pyrola citloraiitha, (Swartz.) Though we have none of the Heaths that clothe the hills and com- mon-lands of Scotland and I'.ngland, we have a large number of beautil'ul and highly ornamental, as well as useful plants and flowering shrubs belonging to the Natural Order Ericacea;, which are widely diffused all over the Northern and Eastern portions of the C'ontinent; wherever there exists a similarity in climate, soil and altitude of tlic land, there we may expect to find members of the same Natural Orders. Thus we find spread over the Northern and Eastern portions of this Continent, plants that are common to northern l''.uropean countries ; wo have representatives of many familiar flowers, belonging to such families as the Lily, Rose, Violet, Phlox, Saxifrage, Mint, Dogwood, Pyrola, and Campanula, in foct we cannot enumerate the half of wliat we recognize in our woodlands and plains. It is true that the eye of the botanist will discover some differences in the , but in most instances these are so little apparent that a casual observer would not notice them. The Pyrola has its representa- tive flower in England. The IJiunra, in Norway.
