Thoreau writes in his journal:
That large galium still abundant and in blossom, filling crevices. The Corallorhiza multiflora, coral-root (not odontorhiza, I think, for it has twenty-four flowers, and its germ is not roundish oval, and its lip is three-lobed), by Brister’s Spring. Found by R. W. E., August 12; also Goodyera pubescens found at same date. The purple gerardia is very beautiful now in green grass . . .
