Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Native Orchids: A Series of Drawings From Nature, of All the Species Found in the Northeastern United States
The text to accompany the illustrations has been plainly set forth in simple English from Mr. Gibson''s notes, from the undescriptive statistics of manuals of botany and from an intimate acquaintance with the wild orchids themselves. It is hoped that others may make the observations on their insect visitors that he had prepared himself to make. The orchids should no longer be a mere Latin-named family of plants to squeeze to death in a press and to mount in withered array in a herbarium, but a group of individuals living in a social relation to the insect world and worthy of the most intimate acquaintance and observation.
To older botanists who are accustomed to call the Rattle snake Plantain Goodyera, and the lady''s-tresses Spiranthes, it may seem like an innovation to use the names Peramium and Gyrostachys. But the latter, as well as all the scientific names here appended to the popular titles, are the old, true names.
