200 Rhodora [NOVEMBER 
9. Pogonia ophioglossoides, Nutt. Near Boy pond and Elbow pond, 
not common. 
The Habenarias are well represented in this region and I meet 
most of the following species every season while tramping along the 
brooks. 
10. Habenaria tridentata, Hook. Below the railroad bridge, abun- 
dant ; frequent in the Pondfield meadows. 
11. Habenaria hyperborea, R. Br. Likely to be met with anywhere 
in wet places on the slopes of the mountains forming the valley. At 
Beaver Falls, on the eastern slope of Moosilauke, I found hundreds 
of this stately plant in a wild, deep ravine on August r, 1395, and I 
named one portion of the falls, ** Orchid Falls." 
12. Habenaria dilata, Gray. Frequent near Echo Lake and the 
Basin in the Notch. 
13. Habenaria Hookeri, Torr. On the Warren road, amidst dense 
mats of Linnaea borealis. I have found it once in August, 1896, and 
once this year — only one specimen badly worm-eaten. 
14. Habenaria orbiculata, 'Torr. Very common in old logging 
roads in the woods and deep forests; from two to a dozen are fre- 
quently found near each other. 
15. Habenaria fimbriata, R. Br. This beautiful and showy orchid 
is common in the low grass lands along the river near thickets. 
16. Cypripedium pubescens, Willd. Frequent in cold and shady 
bogs among the mountains. 
17. Cypripedium acaule, Ait. Very abundant with Æpigaea repens 
on the hillsides and ledges bordering the Pemigewasset. 
Hyprastis CANADENSIS, L. IN VERMONT. — Last June Mr. F. H. 
Horsford of Charlotte informed me that one of his collectors of bulbs 
had brought in specimens of Aydrastis Canadensis. On August 8, 
after Mr. Horsford had kindly given me the necessary directions, I 
visited the station, which is in the town of Shelburne, and found a 
colony of twenty-five or thirty plants, from which I ventured to take three 
specimens. This is apropos of Mr. Bissell's note in RHODORA, vol. I, p. 
157, regarding the occurrence of this species in Connecticut. — EzRA 
BRAINERD, Middlebury, Vermont.
