Marsh E.

Marsh E. (Epipactis) - E. palustris is a somewhat showy hardy Orchid, 1 to 1 1/2 feet high, flowering late in summer, and bearing rather handsome purplish flowers. A native of moist grassy places in all parts of temperate and Southern Europe. A good plant for the bog garden, or for moist spots near a rivulet, in soft peat. In moist districts it thrives very well in ordinary moist soil.

Equisetum (Giant Horse-tail).-eE. Telmateia is a tall British plant, of much grace of habit when well developed, and from 3 to 6 feet high in moist, peaty, or clay hollows in woods. The stem is furnished from top to bottom with spreading whorls of slender branches, slightly drooping, the whole forming a graceful pyramid. It is fit for the hardy fernery, shady peat borders, near cascades, or among shrubs, and grows in any moist soil. Division. E. sylvaticum is another native Horse-tail, much dwarfer, but graceful when well grown, 8 to 15 inches high, and covered with slender branches. Usually these plants are not fit for garden culture, but some are troublesome weeds.
