A comparatively comn:un orchid. the
Cypripedium Specialize. one of the old.
est of cultivated species, has been dis
covered by Mr.. d. +. MacDougal to
possess decided poisonous properties.
These properties are localized in the
leaves and stems. They manifest them
selves by a special cutaneous irritation
in those who are SO imprudent as to
handle the orchid in question. This IL
ritation recalls that which appears in
persons who have handled rhus (poison
ivy). The substance that causes the eff
fects consists of an oily matter srcrcted
by the glandular hairs. This matter is
found, as in the Chinese primrose, de-
posted between the cellular wall and
the cuticle of the terminal cellulc of the
hair. It is set free by the rupture of the
cuticle. This poisonous substance seems
to perform the function Of protecting
the reproductive portion of the plant,
for the virulence of the poison and tho
quantity secreted increase as the plant
develops and attain a maximum during
the formation Of the seeds. Revue Sci
