POGONIA AFFINIS IN VERMONT. 



L. R. Jones. 



It is always a pleasure to learn of a more extended range or a new 

 station for a rare orchid. This is especially true of one having so 

 insecure a foothold as Pogonia affinis. Mrs. Henry Holt advised me 

 of the discovery of what she regarded as that species the first of last 

 June and Mr. Kinile F. Williams who has kindly examined the flower 

 and photographs since, has confirmed this opinion. Mrs. Holt found 

 only one plant although diligent search was made for others. It 

 was in a somewhat open, moist woodland near Burlington belonging 

 to Mr. Henry Holt and since there is no danger that the natural 

 environment will be changed the preservation of the station and the 

 discovery of other plants is almost certain. Mrs. Holt transplanted 

 this specimen to her orchid garden where it is apparently thriving ; 

 photographs and drawings were made and deposited with the dried 

 flower in the herbarium of the University of Vermont. Mr. Williams 

 in his recent list in Rhodora records this species from Connecticut 

 and Massachusetts ; Mrs. Holt's discovery therefore, not only adds 

 Vermont to this list, but extends the range some two hundred miles
