The blossom*-', w^hieh are vry fnntrant, waxen, and greenish white, have a five part- ed calyx and five concave obtuse petals. The stamens resemble uiose of pipsissewa, but the anther cells are contracted at one end so as to form a fdiort neek (Fig. LXV^lil, 4). A lone, curved style i»riitrude« from ''ach bell. The leaves ot all tiie species of py- rola persist throughout the winter, in con- sequence of which the plant is often railed "wintei^een," a name more generally ap- plied in America to Qaultheria procumbens. The latter haa an upright, leafy stem, with nodding waxy flowers in the axils of the leaves. But all the early July flowers do not make their home in the wood; muddy shore and shallow stream have their share. One of the most H -"x^tive of the water Slants is the arro:r' i. greatly in "ize and foliage extend across the i-^ntinent, but are most abundant in the East. The plant' was given both its popular and wienitific names because of its arrow-shaped leaves (Kig. liXIX., 1), which vary from long, nar- row, acute forma to those which are broad. FIG.
