  • Description

    From attached letter: "This answers the description pretty [illegible] of Mr. Nuttalls 'Neottia Odorata', this however is not odorous - flowers October & November - truly an aquatic, submerged 6 to 8 months in the year. Roots horizontal & shallow, the tips of them producing new plants. It has 3 ranks of flowers & I had proposed to name it N. Tristricha [ined.]. The spike does not become spiral until it is passed [?] flowering - at first you would at a distance from a plant declare that its ranks of flowers decussatred [?], but on close inspection, you see the 3 rows, the flowers of each row exactly perpendicular to each other, giving at a distance the [illegible] apperance of the flowers. It grows in the Nyssa uniflora you will find a root entangeled in a N. uniflora seed.". Phenology of specimen: Flower.
