the Elliot collection, and the record of "List era c on val- 

 la r i o i d e s Hook." in O. R. Willis's*-* Flora of Westchester 

 County (p. 815), in all probability refers to this species. 



Corallorrhiza corallorrhiza (Linnaeus) Karsten 



(C. trifida Chatelain) 



Cedar swamp near Jordanville (H. D. House and E. P. Killip 

 June 24, 1917). It has also been collected here by Peck (state 

 herbarium) and Paine^ (p. 138) records it from Trenton Falls, 

 cedar swamps of the Mohawk flats near Utica, Paris hill. Hidden 

 lake, Jordanville and Mud lake (the last three in Herkimer county). 

 House*" reports it from Baldwinsville (Beauchamp) and from 

 Syracuse, Onondaga county (Underwood). In northern New York, 

 Peck has collected this small orchis at Lake Placid and North 

 Elba*^, Elizabethtown*^, Fine, St Lawrence county, and Sageville. 



Myrica carolinensis Miller 



This dwarf species of wax mj-rtle is very abundant on the sandy 

 coastal plain of Long and Staten Islands and has been reported up 

 the Hudson valley as far as Cold Spring, Putnam county, by Peck*^. 

 Its occurrence in several marl bogs throughout western New York 

 has long been known and, along with several other coastal plain 

 species found on the Ontario lowlands, indicates a relationship 

 between the vegetation of the two regions. 



Early reports all refer to this species as Myrica cerifera. 

 Paine^ (p. 127) reports it from Junius (Sartwell), Seneca county, 

 Rochester (Chester Dewey), Parma (Bradley) and the swamps 

 of West Bergen. G. W. Clinton*^ reports it from Caledonia. 

 Numerous collections have been made at the Bergen swamp locality 

 by M. S. Baxter, C. H. Peck, E. P. Killip, H. D. House (July 4. 

 1917) (June 2, 1916) and others. At Junius it has also been col- 

 lected by Peck and by H. D. House (August 10, 191 7). 



Persicaria careyi (Olney) Greene 



Marsh near Albany (H. D. House, July 30, 1917). Peck°° 

 records this species from Minnewaska and the state herbarium also
