Simple question about PlotLegend problem in Mathematica 6

Hi,

So I'm trying to get a nice, straightforward graph with a nice,
straightforward legend. I've used NDSolve to get a couple
solutions...then I enter

Plot[Evaluate[{x[t], y[t]} /. solution], {t, 0, 200},
PlotPoints -> 1000, PlotRange -> All, Frame -> True,
FrameLabel -> {t, "E(t), L(t)"},
PlotStyle -> {Darker[Green], {Darker[Blue], Dashed}},
AxesOrigin -> {0, 0},
PlotLegend -> {"Environmental Quality", "Local Population"},
LegendShadow -> {0, 0}, LegendTextSpace -> 8,
LegendPosition -> {.01, -.4}]

and everything pops out as expected, except there is an extra line in
my legend. There should be two lines, a dark green one for E and a
dark blue one for L, but I get three. This extra line dark green, and
the label to its right is blank.

Any ideas on what I've done wrong and a possible fix?

Also, how would I get the line for L in the legend (L is dashed in the
graph itself) to become dashed?

.
