Calypso bulbosa Oakes, Cat. Vermont PI. 28. 1842. Cytherea bulbosa House, Bull. Torr. Club 32 : 382. 1905. Bulb 5" in diameter or less. Scape 3'-6' high; leaf round-ovate, i'-ii' long, nearly as wide, obtusely pointed at the apex, rounded or subcordate at the base, the petiole 1-2' long; flowers variegated, purple, pink and yellow, the peduncle jointed; petals and sepals linear, erect or spreading, 5"-7" long, with 3 longitudinal purple lines; lip large, saccate, 2-divided below, spreading or drooping, with a patch of yellow woolly hairs; column erect, broadly ovate, shorter than the petals; capsule about i' long, many- nerved. Labrador to Alaska, south to Maine, Michigan, California, and in the Rocky Mountains to Arizona. Also in Europe. Flower somewhat resembling that of a small Cypripedium. 25. TIPULARIA Nutt. Gen. 2: 195. 1818. Slender scapose herbs, with solid bulbs, several generations connected by offsets, the flowers in a long loose terminal raceme. Leaf solitary, basal, unfolding long after the flow- ering season (in autumn), usually after the scape has perished. Scape with several thin sheathing scales at the base. Flowers green, nodding, bractless. Sepals and petals similar, spreading. Lip 3-lobed, produced backwardly into a very long spur. Column erect, wing- less or very narrowly winged. Anther terminal, operculate, 2-celled. Pollinia 4, ovoid, waxy, 2 in each anther-sac, separate, affixed to a short stipe, which is glandular at the base. [Latin, similar to Tipula, a genus of insects, in allusion to the form of the flower.]
