1917) | May,—Orchids of the Region of Asquam Lake 131 
FURTHER NOTES ON THE ORCHIDS OF THE REGION OF 
ASQUAM LAKE. 
JOHN B. May, M. D. 
I was very much interested in Mr. Lowenstein’s paper in a recent 
Ruopora, on the Orchids of the Asquam Lake Region. I have spent 
five summers in that region, one year as a councillor at Camp Algon- 
quin, the last three as the Director of Camp Winnetaska, a girls’ camp 
on Little Squam Lake. While my particular interest has been orni- 
thological rather than botanical, I have kept a careful list of the 
Orchids found in the region, and therefore submit the following notes. 
Cypripedium parviflorum, two colonies, about. twenty-five plants. 
Habenaria dilatata, abundant in at least one station; probably two 
hundred plants in swamp near Red Hill. 
H. macrophylla, two plants at Camp Winnetaska, 1915. 
H. blephariglottis, one station in 1903, since drained and cultivated. 
Pogonia ophioglossoides, abundant in several swamps. 
Arethusa bulbosa, abundant in one swamp near Red Hill, brought 
to me by Mrs. Frank Low of Worcester, Mass. 
Liparis Loeselii; this I believe is an incorrect record. I found a 
small colony beside the Winnepesaukee River in Tilton, N. H., in 
1913, while on a canoe trip with Algonquin boys. It was credited 
to the Algonquin list, but was well outside the Asquam Lake Region. 
I know of no other records. 
Orchis spectabilis, a small colony near Little Squam in 1914. Seven 
plants flowered, 1916. 
Microstylis unifolia, no records, 1913, 1914. Several, 1915, com- 
mon, 1916. This I believe due to the peculiar weather conditions the 
last two summers, rather than more careful observation, as I was 
looking for this plant especially, if 1913. 
I agree with Mr. Lowenstein’s notes of the remaining species, all of 
which I have found with the exception of Listera cordata. The 
abundance of Pogonia trianthophora in 1916 is most unusual, I believe, 
the plants being very locally found, near Camp Algonquin.
