THE PRAIRIE WHITE FRINGED ORCHID 

 Blephariglottis leiicophaea, Nutt. 



This plant is, to my knowledge, found only at the big 

 bog at Crystal Station, where I found some in 1904 



SMALLER PURPLE-FRINGED ORCHID 



Blephariglottis psycodes, Linne 



I have collected this orchid on Temicouata Lake, Prov- 

 ince of Quebec, August 1, 1913, where it is quite common. 

 It is also found on the Tobeque River in New Brunswick. 



LARGE, OR EARLY, PURPLE-FRINGED ORCHID 



Blephariglottis grandiflora, Bigelow 



The plants collected by my friend, Philip Phair, Esq., 

 on the Presque Isle stream were very large and should be 

 referred to this species. 



Blephariglottis andrewsii, White 



A plant collected at Moose River, Somerset County, 

 Maine, August 1, 1914 would correspond with this plant. The 

 fact is the purple-fringed orchid is very variable according to 

 its locality and is difficult to specify. 



ROSE POGONIA; SNAKEMOUTH 

 Pogonia ophioglossoides, Linne 



This is a rare plant with us, six flowering plants were 

 collected on July 17, 1921. This colony has flowered twice 

 in thirteen years. I presume that the warm and dry summer 

 has been just right for this plant this year. 



ARETHUSA; DRAGON-MOUTH; WILD PINK 

 Arethusa bulbosa Linne 



On June 24, and July 12, 1904, I collected a few speci- 

 mens in New Sweden, on the west side of Fogelin Lake. This 

 same locality was visited again on June 23, 1920 and about 

 100 plants were observed. While collecting on June 29, 

 1921, at Salmon Brook Lake, Perham, I found 3 flowering 

 plants. 



GRASS PINK, CALOPOGON 



Limadorum tuberosum, Linne 



My attention to this plant was first called by Nels Grill 

 and in his company I have collected these plants in small 

 numbers several times on the east side of Mud Lake, located 

 in Westmanland and Perham, between July 12 and 20.
