ORCHIDACEiE 



H. ciliaris is very rare in the northernmost part of its range. H. ciliaris 

 With the exception of one collection from Vermont, which I 

 refer to H. ciliaris with reasonable sureness, the species has not 

 been reported from the United States north of Massachusetts. 

 In the southernmost part of its range great variation may be ex- 

 pected, especially in the size of the raceme and the fringe of the 

 labellum.
