--Boundary_(ID_6+IUn4MZ58U8XBjmbnjLYQ) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT If the identification is correct, indeed it is a wild orchid in the Orchidaceae. And "s. cernua" should be written with a capital S., which stands for Spiranthes, I think, and the whole name should be written out in full and not abbreviated until after it is written out one. Also for good measure, the Latinized name should be italicized, which I know is asking way too much! The name "Spiranthes" is wonderfully descriptive, denoting flowers arranged in spiral lines down the flower-stalk.
