2 Ames Notes on Orchids New to Florida. 



Prescottia oligantha Lindl. 



Hammock, near Gossmans, Bade County, February 22, 1905, A. A. Eaton, 

 No. 1211. The first collection of this species in Florida was made by Mr. 

 Eaton in 1903, when specimens were sent to North Easton alive, together 

 with specimens of Cranichis muscosa, Sw. Its identity was not ascertained 

 until January 14, 1905, when it bloomed under cultivation. The genus 

 Prescottia has not heretofore been reported from Florida. 



Hormidium tripterum Cogn. 



On Pop Ash in cypress head, 10 miles northeast of Everglade, Lee 

 County, March 23-26, 1905, A. A. Eaton, No. 1400. Hormidium is nearly 

 allied to Epidendrum and is new to Florida. 



Tetramicra Eulophiae Rchb. f. 



Bade County, November 10, 1903, Carter, Eaton and Small. The 

 material on which my determination is based was collected in an immature 

 condition. Only a few plants were found. The name given above is 

 merely provisional, although there does not appear to be much doubt 

 regarding the identity of the plants. The genus Tetramicra is new to 

 Florida. < 



Campylocentrum pachyrhizum Rolfe. 



(Syn. Aeranthus spathaceus Grisebach.) On deciduous trees, northeast 

 of Everglade, Lee County, March 23-26, 1905, A. A. Eaton, No. 1387. This 

 is a larger species in every way than Campylocentrum porrectum Rolfe, 

 which has already been reported from peninsular Florida. Roots 4 mm. 

 broad ; flowers numerous.
