Indian Pipe — Monotropa uniflora — painted from a living specimen in the Chippawa area of northern Quebec, completed Friday, August 1, 1967. Glen's field notes are inscribed at the bottom of the painting: the species name in full, the location, the date, the notation that this was painted at actual size from a living plant. This is botanical illustration at its most precise and most personally invested.
Indian Pipe is one of the strangest plants in the eastern Canadian forest — a total saprophyte, containing no chlorophyll, living on fungi in the forest floor and emerging ghostly white from the leaf litter. Glen chose to paint it not as a curiosity but as a subject worthy of full attention: the drooping flower head, the waxy white stem, the root structure emerging from the humus, all rendered with the same care he gave his large mammals. This field study is among his most distinctive and intimate botanical works.
