ORCHIDACEtE 



H. hyper- form of the spurs in accordance with Dr. Rydberg's descriptions. 

 borea Aside from its dwarfness there is no character which separates 



the Linnsean plant satisfactorily from the slender H. hyperborea 

 of northeastern America. 



I cannot agree with Kranzlin's treatment of the species which 

 constitute the Hyperborea group, because I find constant con- 

 spicuous differentiating characters for H.sparsijiora, H. saccata, 

 H. dilatata, and H. brevifolia, — species which he refers to the 

 synonymy of H. hyperborea. 



It is quite true that all of these species are closely allied to 

 one another, but extreme forms of any one of them appear to be 

 conspicuously distinct. In this group no satisfactory work can 

 be done which is not based on rich series of specimens taken 

 throughout the range.
