Under a glass the starry blossoms of the Mitella become objects of wonderful beauty; in fact they suggest the delicate crystals of snow. They appear early, but as the flowers are borne in a long raceme the period of bloom extends over nearly a month. Gray gives the Mitella to May, but in north- ern Ohio it is very sure to appear in April. The name Bishop's-Cap refers to the shape of the pods and is simply a translation of the Latin name. Mitella niida is rare in northern Ohio; its flowers are greenish and the stem leafless; the basal leaves heart-shaped with margins crenate rather than serrate. ii6. Mitella. JiMla diphiUa |ii.
