,

Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Limodorum (meadow gift, from the Greek). Orchidaceae. A name adopted by some authors for what has been known as Calopogon, comprising a half-dozen species of scapose cormous herbs bearing attractive rose or purple (rarely white) fls. in a spike or raceme. Transferred to this genus, the grass-pink (Calopogon pulchellus) is given the name L. tuberosum, Linn. All the species are found in E. N. Amer., from Newfoundland to Cuba and the Bahamas. L. tuberosum is sometimes transferred to bog-gardens; see Calopogon for cult. A southern species, L. multiflorum, Mohr, growing in Fla., is recommended for bog-planting S. The single lf. is linear: scape to 16 in. tall, bearing deep purple fls.; lateral sepals ovate, acute; petals ovate or obovate; middle lobe of lip broad-cuneate, about ⅓ in. wide.
