 having no ray flowers. 



Habenaria ciliaris (L.) I\. Br. 

 Fruiting specimens of this pretty orchidaceous plant were col- 

 lected in August in a low hut not wet piece of ground near Karner. 

 Scarcely more than a dozen plants of it have heen seen here any 

 season since its discovery several years ago. The past season there 

 were eleven. The vicinity has been deprived of most of its larger 

 trees in comparatively recent years, yet the yellow fringed orchis 

 is perpetuating itself well in spite of its changed environment. It 

 probably could he cultivated if given a soil similar to that which it 

 now occupies.
