Serapias helleborine Linn. 
Mohawk river flats near Little Falls. Mrs Loomis Burrell, July

Europe, where it is common. In America it is now known from a 
number of localities in New York State ranging from Little Falls 
to Rochester. Its appearance in all these localities is that of a 
native plant and in the absence of any evidence as to its nonindi- 
genous character should be regarded as a native species.

lower stem leaves are pinnatifid and the stem is more hirsute. These 
characters are sometimes found in Geum hirsutum Muhl., 
but the petals in G. meyerianum are white and longer than 
the sepals, while in G. hirsutum they are pale yellow and 
much shorter.

county, and from Orange county, and from Oneida (H. D. House, 
1903) Madison county, in addition to which there is a specimen in 
the State herbarium from Troy, collected by E. C. Howe.
