1. Hexalectris spicata (Walt.) Barnh. (Torreya 4: 121. 1904.) (Hexa- 

 lectris aphylla (Nutt.) Raf.) Crested Coralroot. Map 726. On August 

 3, 1922 I found a few scattered flowering plants on a black and white 

 oak slope in a woods bordering the Ohio River in sec. 14 about 151/2 

 miles southeast of Corydon. R. C. Friesner found it near Edwards- 

 ville in Floyd County August 20, 1923 and again on August 14, 1926. 

 Blatchley reported it as growing on a high, wooded hill 2 miles south of 

 Wyandotte Cave, Crawford County, July 25, 1896. These are our only 

 reports.

1642. APLECTRUM [Nutt.] Torr. 



1. Aplectrum hyemale (Muhl.) Torr. Puttyroot. Map 727. This orchid 

 is found sparingly throughout the state. In addition to the counties shown 

 on the map it has been reported from the following counties : Hamilton, 

 Lake, Marshall, Porter, Steuben, and Tippecanoe. It is found in deep 

 humus in well protected and shaded spots in beech, black and white, and 

 white oak woods. I recall that on the Clark County State Forest a large 

 colony grew on a slope in a tangle of dense second growth of white oak 

 and grape vines. During the winter the vines and excess of forest growth 

 were removed and I never saw a plant there after that time. I have 

 tried to grow the species at Bluffton in neutral soil in a shaded location but 

 in a few years it disappears.
