430 TayLor: LOCAL FLORA NOTES 
in our range where there is every reason to suspect that the colony 
is a permanent feature? 
3. Sisyrinchium angustifolium Mill. There are only three 
specimens of this from the range, and they fail to give any ade- 
quate idea of the plant’s true distribution. All the Pocono region, 
the upper northwestern part of Connecticut, and the highland sec- 
tion of New Jersey are unrepresented in the collections. With a 
general range of ‘‘Newf. to N. J.and on the mountains to Va.,” 
the plant should be more widely dispersed in our range than the 
specimens show. 
4. Sisyrinchium albidum Raf. In the new catalogue of Con- 
necticut plants there is a single specimen cited from New London. 
An old specimen in our collections, identified by Mr. Bicknell as 
this species, is from Morrisania, N. Y. City, a locality now com- 
pletely built over. Otherwise, this western plant is not known 
from the range. 
5. Sisyrinchium intermedium Bicknell. In Britton’s Manual 
this plant is credited to southern New Jersey on the authority of 
E. P. Bicknell, who contributed the treatment of the genus. 
There are no specimens from the range and the catalogue of the 
Philadelphia Botanical Club makes no mention of the species. 
ORCHIDACEAE* 
1. Cypripedium arietinum R. Br. The plant is credited to 
the range in the Preliminary Catalogue of the Torrey Club, but 
there are no specimens to support this contention. There are 
rumors of its occurrence in the Orange Mts., N. J., but nothing 
definitely certain. Its northern distribution is such that the 
Orange Mts. locality would be a surprising extension of its range. 
2. Cypripedium acaule Ait. There are over twenty stations 
for this species represented by specimens. All of these are below 
1,000 ft. in altitude, and the plant is unknown, so far, in the 
Catskills. Can any one contribute specimens that will help to 
determine the altitudinal range of the species? 
3. Cypripedium Reginae Walt. (C. hirsutum Mill., the name 
that must be used for our showy lady’s slipper orchid). 
*The names used in the discussion of this family are those adopted by Dr. P. A. 
Rydberg in Britton’s Manual. A few exceptions will be found, based on further 
studies by the same writer.
