Platanthera Integra Beck, Bot. ed. 2, 348 (1856).— P. flava 

 Wood, Class-book, 683 (1861)^ in part (?). 



Gymnadeniopsis integra Rydb., in Britton's Man. 293 

 (1901); Small, Fl. Se. U. S. 316 (1903). 



Platanthera fuscescens KrdnzL, Orch. Gen, et Sp. 1 : 943 

 (1901) in part, not Orchis fuscescens L. {Perularia fuscescens 

 Lindl.) nor Habenaria flava Spreng. 



"4. * integra. Lip oblong, entire, longer than the inner petals; 

 spur longer than the germ, acute at the point ; stem leafy, bractes 

 shorter than the flowers. Hab. In the swamps of New Jersey. 

 Nearly allied to O. ciliaris and with flowers of the same orange- 

 yellow colour, but somewhat smaller. 



''Q. flava. Lip ovate, entire, partly crenulate; spur attenuated, 

 filiform and about the length of the germ; spike crowded; 

 bractes longer than the flowers. Hab. In New Jersey, Z. Collins. 

 V. s. In herb. Collins and Muhlenberg. Flowers pale orange- 

 yellow, rather small. Spur widening above." Nutt. loc. cit. 



The Muhlenberg specimens, and also those cited by Elliott, 

 are undoubtedly H. integra, as a specimen in Hb. Elliott sent 

 to him by Muhlenberg is this species. 



'■'■Orchis (or Habenaria) crocea Raf. Stem angular, leaves lanceolate acuminate, spike 

 short cylindrical, bracts lanceolate equal to flowers, spur slender equal to ovary, petals 

 ovate acute, labellum nearly similar hardly longer, entire. 



"Discovered and collected by D. W. Fisher. Very different from O. ciliaris, flowers 

 smaller, saffron color, not ciliated. Slender plant 15 inches high. Probably an Habenaria." 

 (A. A. E.) 



1 Wood cites O. flava and 0. nigra Nutt. as synonyms. Doubtless nigra is a misprint for 

 integra. (A. A. E.)
