C. odontorhiza Nutt., is reported from Gibson and Posey by Dr. Schneck as 

 rare, and found growing in shady woods in rich soil ; from Franklin, by O. M. 

 Meyncke; from Steuben, by E. Bradner, and from Noble, by W. B. Van Gorder. 

 whose specimens were examined, 



C. multijlora Nutt., is reported from Union by W. S. Blatchley, whose determi- 

 nation is verified by specimens in the DePauw Herbarium. From Noble, by W. 

 B. Van Gorder, who states that it is rare in that county and grows in dry woods ; 

 and also from Steuben, by E. Bradner. The State catalogue includes this species, 

 referring it to Jefferson, but gives no authority for its inclusion. No specimens 

 were examined. 



Spiranthes is said to be represented by four species: latifolia, cernua, pritxox and 

 gracilis. 



S. latifolia Torr., is very limited in its range, at least as far as we have knowl- 

 edge of its distribution. It is reported from Noble by Mr. Van Gorder, who 

 states that only a few specimens were found. It is reported also from Tippecanoe 

 by John Hussey, and his determination is verified by a specimen in the Purdue 

 Herbarium. 



S. cernua Richard, occurs chiefly in southern and western counties. It is re- 

 ported also from Noble, where it grows with cranberry vines on the low shores of 

 lakes. 



S. pnvcox Watson, has been reported from Clark by Messrs. Baird and Taylor, 

 and from Steuben by E. Bradner. The 6th edition of the Manual does not in- 

 clude Indiana in the range of this species, which reads: "Wet, grassy places, 

 Mass. to N. J. and Fla." 



S. rjracilis Bigelow, is fairly well distributed, being reported from southeast- 

 ern, northern and central counties, but is not found abundantly. Specimens 

 from Noble, Lake and Jefferson were examined. 



Goodyera repens R. Br., is reported from Steuben by E. Bradner. No speci- 

 mens were studied, but the habit and range of the plant renders the determina- 

 tion doubtful. 



Goodyera pubescens E. Br., has been collected in Noble by Mr. Van Gorder, 

 whose specimen was examined. It is also reported from Warren and Vigo Coun- 

 ties. 



Arefhusa bidbosa L., is referred, in the State catalogue, to Lake Co. Dr. J. M. 

 Coulter also reports it in the region of "Barrens." This would make it a true 

 northern form and indicate that it grew in a cool climate and in both dry, sandy 

 soil and low ground. No specimens were examined. ■
