man with his arms and feet cut off, like those of the
Orchis militaris tribe. Stamen attached to the point of
the stigma, 2-lobed; lobes approximating each other.
Pollen masses pedicled, pale yellow, and enclosed within
a hood. Germen twisted. .
The strong specimen of the plant represented m our
fio-ure, Avas grown at the Nursery of Mr. Pamplin, in
the King’s-road, Chelsea, where our drawing Avas made
last Summer; it belongs to a collection of curioito British
plants collected and grown by Mr. William Pamplin,
inn., who is much attached to the study ot British
Botany. Mr. Pamplin has now removed his establishment
from the King’s-road, to the more airy and healthy
situation of Lavender-hill, in the Wandsworth-road, at
a pleasant distance from London, and where the choice
herbaceous, and other plants, may be expected to thrive
much better than nearer the smoke of the metropolis;
we understand that he intends to cultivate a select collection
of the choicest sorts, which we have no doubt
will, with proper treatment, succeed very well.
The present plant is a native of England, growing
chiefly by the sides of chalky banks, and succeeds very
well (as do many others of this family which prefer the
samé situations,) in a bank made up of a light sandy
loam, with a proportion of chalk mixed with i t ; the
only thing to be guarded against is, that the roots may
not be rotted by too much moisture; or be thrown out
of the ground, or eaten by worms or caterpillars.
