PLANTS OF SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. 367 



The bogs in which this orchid grows seem to be pecuhar in 

 their flora, and other species known only from Delaware, south- 

 ward, occur there commonly, such as Bolfonia asteroids, Xyris 

 elata, Coelorachis rugosa, etc. Mr. O. H. Brown informs me 

 that a peculiar white clay underlies this chain of bogs which is 

 not found elsewhere in Cape May County, so far as he is aware. 



When examining the State Herbariumi at New Brunswick I 

 found a specimen of this orchid from the herbarium of W^ H. 

 Leggett labeled "Southern N. J.,'' with a note by Dr. Britton 

 to the effect that he does not believe it came from New Jersey.
