HABENARIA PSYCODES, VAR. ECALCARATA IN VERMONT.—Last Aug- 
ust there was sent me a peculiar orchid which had been collected by 
Dr. Anne E. Perkins in a meadow at Berkshire, Vt. Prof. Ames later 
determined it as the peloric form of Habenaria psycodes described, 
figured and named var. ecalcarata by Miss M. M. Bryan.! 
In this form (for it seems to be a teratological development rather 
than a true variety) the usual three-parted, spurred and fringed lip 
is replaced by an oblong-ovate, spurless petal, entire and wholly 
similar to the other petals, except that it occasionally bears small 
irregular and jagged marginal projections which remotely suggest 
its relationship to the normal type of lip. The result is a nearly
