and Story (Hitchcock) counties. Dr. E. M. Reynolds informs 

 us that it was formerly frequent on the brakes of Soap creek in 

 Appanoose county. 



This species is one to two feet high, and may be found in 

 bogs and wet woods in June and July. Two flowered forms are 

 comparatively not uncommon. G. spectabile Salisb. (1791); C.

Orchis spectdbilis L. (1753). This species is to be found in 

 rich woods during the months of May and June. It is at best 

 only locally frequent though quite widely distributed through- 

 out the state. Our specimens are from Fayette (Fink), John- 

 son, and Poweshiek (Norton) counties. We have seen speci- 

 mens in the S. U. I. herbarium which were collected in Mus- 

 catine, Webster, and Pottawattamie counties. This species is 

 reported from Story (Hitchcock) and Woodbury (Pammel) 

 counties. A handsome species and is worthy of the attention 

 of floriculturists.

Hdbenaria hookeriana A. Gray. (1836). During the last season 

 we received three handsome specimens collected in June, 1899, 

 in Winneshiek county by Herbert Goddard of Decorah. It is 

 reported from Winneshiek county by Arthur and from Fayette 

 county by Fink. Its native haunts are woods; in Iowa is rarely 

 found. The variety dblongifoUa Paine is reported from Fayette 

 county by Fink, but this variety is no longer recognized. The 

 locality in Winneshiek county given by Arthur is Hesper. H.
