PLANTS OF SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY. 373 



Open bogs throughout the State; most plentiful in the Pine 

 Barrens and northern counties. 



The Limodorum seems to be less restricted to the bogs than 

 either the Arethusa or Rose Pogonia, and its beautiful cluster of 

 crimson blossoms will be found in every little damp sandy spot 

 where Drosera filiformis and Utricularia deistogama like to 

 grcnv. As we drive over the long white sandy roads in early 

 July these brilliant banners are almost the only touch of bright 

 color to be seen. 



Fl. — Early June to late July.

 Pelt and C. S. Williamson; and from the Delaware shore above 

 Burlington, where Mr. Isaac Burk found it June 22, 1873.

* Mi". House advocates the substitution of Ibidium for this genus, on the 

 ground that Gyrostachys was not properly published. The citation of several 

 species is really far better than a diagnosis, and the making of actual com- 

 binations with the new generic name a trivial matter, which does not affect its 

 status. By usage customary among zoologists the validity of Gyrostachys 

 could not be questioned, (cf. House, Bull. Torr. Bot. Club 32, 380 — 1905.)
