Chapter CIV: JACK-IN-THE-PULPIT, Arisæma triphyllum, 281 (7)

These curious-looking plants abound in the shade of beech-trees, drawing nourishment from their roots. The upper open flowers are sterile; the lower ones, which never expand, accomplish the continuance of their kind.

PINE SAP. FALSE BEECHDROPS.
_Monotropa Hypopitys._ Heath Family.

A low fleshy herb without green foliage; tawny, reddish, or whitish.
_Flowers._—Resembling in structure those of the Indian pipe, but
clustered in a raceme.

The pine sap is a parasitic plant which is closely allied to the Indian pipe (Pl. XXI.). Its clustered flowers are usually fragrant. The plant is commonly of a somewhat tawny hue, but occasionally one finds a bright red specimen. It flourishes in oak or pine-woods from June till August.

RATTLESNAKE-ROOT.
_Prenanthes alba._

_Height._—Two to four feet. _Leaves._—The lower cleft or toothed, the
uppermost oblong and undivided. _Flower-heads._—Nodding, composed of
white or greenish strap-shaped flowers surrounded by a purplish
involucre.

LION’S FOOT. GALL-OF-THE-EARTH.
_Prenanthes serpentaria._ Composite Family (p. 13).

_Height._—About two feet. _Leaves._—Roughish, the lower lobed, the
upper oblong lance-shaped. _Flower-heads._—Nodding, composed of
greenish or cream-colored strap-shaped flowers surrounded by a
greenish or purple involucre.

These plants are peculiarly decorative in late summer on account of their graceful, drooping, bell-shaped flower-heads. The flowers themselves almost escape notice, and their color is rather difficult to determine, the purplish or greenish involucre being the plants’ conspicuous feature.

The generic name is from the Greek, and signifies _drooping blossom_.

WILD BEAN. GROUND-NUT.
_Apios tuberosa._ Pulse Family (p. 16).

_Stem._—Twining and climbing over bushes. _Leaves._—Divided into three
to seven narrowly oval leaflets. _Flowers._—Papilionaceous, purplish
or chocolate-color, somewhat violet-scented, closely clustered in
racemes.

In late summer the dark, rich flowers of the wild bean are found in short, thick clusters among the luxuriant undergrowth and thickets of low ground. The plant is a climber, bearing edible pear-shaped tubers on underground shoots, which give it its generic name signifying _a pear_.

CORAL-ROOT.
_Corallorhiza multiflora._ Orchis Family (p. 17).

_Rootstock._—Much branched, coral-like, toothed. _Stem._—Nine to
eighteen inches high, without green foliage. _Flowers._—Rather small,
dull brownish-purple or yellowish, sometimes mottled with red; growing
in a raceme.

In the dry summer woods one frequently encounters the dull racemes of this rather inconspicuous little plant. It is often found in the immediate neighborhood of the Indian pipe and pine sap. Being, like them, without green foliage, it might be taken for an allied species by the casual observer. This is one of those orchids which are popularly considered unworthy to bear the name, giving rise to so much incredulity or disappointment in the unbotanical.
