MONOTROPA L. 



Monotropa uniflora L. Indian Pipe. 



PL XCIIL, Fig. 2. 



Monotropa uniflora Linnaeus, Sp. PI. 387- I753 [Maryland, Virginia and 



Canada]. — Knieskern 21. — Britton 164. 



Woodlands; frequent in the Northern and Middle districts, 

 less common in the Cape May peninsula and apparently quite 

 rare in the Pine Barrens. 



This curious ghostly, fungus-like plant seems rather out of 

 place in the sandy woods of New Jersey, as we usually associate 

 it with the deep rich forests of the higher grounds, but it seems 

 to flourish very well right up to the edge of the Pine Barrens 

 themselves. 



Fl. — Early June into September or even October. 



Middle District. — Farmingdale, New Egypt, Kenilworth (S), Haddonfield 

 (S), Orchard (S), Medford (S), Lawnside (S), Tomlin (S), Clementon, 

 Sicklerville (S), Yorktown.

 Hypopitys monotropa Britton 164. 



Woodlands ; rather frequent in the Northern and Middle 

 districts, rare in the Cape May peninsula and occasional on the 

 eastern edge of the Pine Barrens.

 represented in our material, but they do not appear to be sepa- 

 rable by any good constant differences. 



PL — Early July into September or even October.
