432 TAYLOR: LOCAL FLORA NOTES 
9. Gymnadenia conopsea R. Br. So far as known, this is the 
first record of the occurrence of this plant in America. It is a 
native of Europe. Our specimen is from Litchfield, Conn., and 
is undoubtedly authentic. Whether or not it is established there 
is unknown, as the collector of it does not remember it particularly. 
I am indebted to Dr. Rydberg for the determination of this un- 
familiar orchid. 
10. Limnorchis huronensis (Nutt.) Rydb. The only specimens 
are from Canaan, Conn., and Ulster Co., N. ¥Y. Mt. Pleasant, 
Wayne Co., Pa., is cited in Porter’s Flora of Pennsylvania and 
this is presumably backed by a specimen. Otherwise the dis- 
tribution of the plant in our range is unknown. 
11. Limnorchis major (Lange) Rydb. Only a single specimen 
from the range is known. This was collected at ‘‘North Yonkers,”’ 
N. Y. (2). The general distribution of this species is from Green- 
land to New York. The New York part of this assertion is backed 
by our local flora plant, and in view of the fact that it is supposed 
to come from Yonkers the distribution is very poorly supported. 
A high Catskill plant might have been this species but it seems 
only reasonable that the label reading ‘‘North Yonkers” belongs to 
some other plant, and that if Z. major is in our range at all, which 
is very doubtful, it may be in the higher Catskills. The specimen 
is correctly determined but the label probably belongs elsewhere. 
12. Lysias orbiculata (Pursh) Rydb. The most southerly 
station represented in our collections is West Point, N. Y. With 
a general distribution that extends south [in the mountains] 
to North Carolina, the plant should be found in the highland region 
of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It is fairly common in the 
Catskills. 
13. Blephariglottis cristata (Michx.) Raf. Most of the speci- 
mens come from near Monmouth County, N. J. Its general 
distribution is supposed to be from New Jersey to Florida and 
any information as to the plant’s distribution in southern New 
Jersey will be welcome. 
14. Blephariglottis grandiflora (Bigel.) Rydb. This species is 
supposed to grow south [in the mountains?] to North Carolina. 
All our specimens are from upper New Jersey and the Catskill 
region. Nothing is known of this from southern New Jersey 
or from the Pennsylvania counties in our range.
