206 Rhodora [OCTOBER 
season in Montana by Mr. F. L. Scribner, to whom I take pleasure 
in dedicating it.” It has been suggested to me that, owing to the fact 
that the plant is named for Mr. Scribner, the latter reference should 
be considered as determining the type, despite the fact that it occu- 
pies a secondary position and is apparently more casual in expression. 
However this may be, both specimens, to my mind, confirm the opinion 
advanced by Prof. Pease and myself in the above mentioned article, 
that A. Seribneri is not clearly separable from A. caninum (L.) Beauv. 
var. Gmelini (Ledeb.) Pease & Moore f. Pringlei (Scribn. & Sm.)

POGONIA TRIANTHOPHORA IN HOLDERNESS, NEw HAMPSHIRE.— 
Pogonia trianthophora (Sw.) BSP., better known as Pogonia pendula 
Lindl. of Gray's Manual, 6th ed., is a rare orchid in New England. 
There have been but few references to it in this journal (RHODORA, 
ii. 211-212, 1900; iv. 2-3, 19-22, 61, 1902) all showing its rarity 
and elusive character. 
I am indebted to Mr. Edwin DeMeritte for another record of this 
species in New England. On August 27, 1910, he sent me from his 
summer Camp Algonquin, on the shores of Squam Lake, Holderness, 
New Hampshire, four fresh specimens of this orchid, collected there 
the same day. In the accompanying letter he says that the plant 
“is found here only after August 15, and only in depressions in the 
woods where the leaf-mould is very deep. It is rather rare even 
where it is found, and appears about once in three years in any quan- 
tity. No specimens could be found in 1908 and 1909. Perhaps they 
came out after we left camp, September 4." — WALTER DEANE,
