THE AMERICAN BOTANIST. 105 



frequently S2en in the valleys of this section. It is doing 

 well in the park beside the Hahenarias in the woods 

 garden. Its color ranges from dark pink to pure white. 

 Its roots have been supposed to be good in nervous 

 troubles which gives it the local name of nervine. 



Achroanthes uni folia is situated on the island and also 

 in a place by itself where it is drier, I have found it in 

 different situation, under pine trees on a dry hillside, in 

 hardwood growth, on the border of a bog, and beside a 

 wall in the open field. It blooms in July. I have had con- 

 siderable difficulty in determining which species of Good- 

 yera I have. I am, however, certain of G. repens and a 

 botanical friend thinks that I have the new species G. 

 ophioides. Whether I have G. puhescens is doubtful. In 

 the park they have a bed by themselves back of a small 

 hemlock. I have found them in cool moist woods, more 

 commonly of hemlock or spruce. They bloom the latter 

 part of July. 



Oi Corallorhiza I have two species. C. innata is very 

 inconspicuous and easily passed by as it likes to get under 

 an overhanging limb in a hollow where the leafmold is 

 deep. It is found in cool woods without much reference 

 to kind. It blooms inearh^June. C. multWora is much 

 more common and more easily found, but blooms later, 

 not before the last of Jul}' or the first of August. It grows 

 in cool moist woods where the leafmold is abundant. I 

 have both species set among the rocks back of the woods 

 garden where I put in a lot of leafmold, as, being sapro- 

 phytes, they will not grow in soil the same as ordinary 

 plants. 



Liparis loose Hi I found in an old part of the mowing 

 where the soil was about as moist as the average garden. 

 It was in seed when I found it therefore I could not 

 identify' it positively until this j^ear. I set it on the island 

 where it is doing better than in its original situation. It 

 is not common here as I have found it in but one place. It 

 blooms in July. 



Last year I went several miles to procure plants of
