14 NOTES UPON CAPE ORCHIDACE.JE. 
rica have received from this source, I may here mention the 
Coreopsis latifolia of Michaux, which had not been found by 
any subsequent botanist, until it was observed by Mr. 
Buckley in the autumn of 1840. 
No living botanist, however, is so well acquainted with the 
vegetation of the southern Alleghany Mountains, or has ex- 
plored those of North Carolina, so extensively as the Rev. 
M. A. Curtis; who, when resident for a short time in their 
vicinity, visited, as opportunity occurred, the Table Mountain, 
Grandfather, Roan, Black Mountain, &c., and, subsequently, 
although prevented by infirm health from making large col- 
lections, extended his researches through the counties of Hay- 
wood, Macon, and Cherokee, which form the narrow south- 
western extremity of Carolina. To him we are indebted for 
local information which greatly facilitated our recent journey, 
and, indeed, for a complete Itinerarium of the region south of 
Ashe County.

AMONG a small collection of dried plants which I owe to 
the kindness of Mr. W. H. Harvey, are some interesting 
Orchidacez, with the existence of which I am anxious that 
Botanists should be at once acquainted, without waiting till 
the revision of the Order which I havein preparation, can 
appear. 
1. Dispeznis paludosa (Harvey in litt) ; caule glaberrimo, 
folis linearibus acutis, floribus solitariis 2-3-nisve, sepalis 
omnibus liberis glabris acuminatis, labello lineari apice glan- 
duloso truncato sub apice appendice naviculari membranaceá 
aucto. 
“ Habit of D. capensis, but nearer D. secunda in character. 
“ It always grows in wet spongy bogs, very different from 
“the station of the others, and is a much later flowerer. I 
“ first found it at Camps Bay, within twenty minutes’ walk of
