Calopogon pulchellus, Brown—Cymbidium pulchellum, Willd. Sp. Pl. vol. iv. p. 105. Pursh, Fl. Amer. Sept. vol. ii. p. 592.—Gynandria Monandria, Linn. Orchideæ, Juss.
Root tuberous, of an oblong form; radical leaves linear-lanceolate, nerved; scape few-flowered; lip at the back clawed, the inside bearded; five distinct petals of a light purplish-red. It grows in sandy soils from Maine to the Floridas; I have not observed it in the more Southern or Western States.
The Dwarf Huckle-berry.
Vaccinium tenellum, Willd. Sp. Pl. vol. ii. p. 353. Pursh, Flor. Amer. Sept. vol. i. p. 289.—Decandria Monogynia, Linn. Ericæ, Juss.
The branches angular, green; leaves sessile, ovato-lanceolate, mucronate, serrulate, glossy on both sides; flowers in sessile clusters; corolla ovate. This plant grows in most of the lands of the Middle and Eastern Districts, both in woods and in open places. Its berries are eaten by various birds, as well as by children.
THE PINE CREEPING WARBLER.
Sylvia pinus, Lath.
PLATE CXL. Male and Female.
The Pine Creeping Warbler, the most abundant of its tribe, is met with from Louisiana to Maine, more profusely in the warmer, and more sparingly in the colder regions, breeding wherever fir or pine trees are to be found. Although it may occasionally be seen on other trees, yet it always prefers those of that remarkable and interesting tribe. I found it on the sandy barrens bordering St John's River, in East Florida, in full song, early in February. I am pretty certain that they had already formed nests at that early period, and it seems to me not unlikely that this species, as well as some others that breed in that country at the same time, may afterwards travel far to the eastward, and there rear another brood the same year.
