NOTES ON THE DORSET FLORA. liy 



very fine in the belt round Kingston Lacy Park ; Westley Wood ; 

 High Wood ; by Crichel Pond. G. Langton Wood, Rev. W. M. 

 Rogers. Creech Grange ; Kingston-; Rempstone ; Woolgarston. 

 Spiranthes atitumnalis, Rich. F. Talbot Churchyard ; field 

 near the gamekeeper's cottage, Edmondsham, and in a field 

 between Edmondsham and Venvood ; also near Mount Pleasant, 

 Woodlands. G. Near Corfe Castle, both west and east. 

 Cephalanthera ensifolia, Rich. F. I have looked for this in 

 flower in vain in the Creech Hill plantation, but have seen two 

 or three plants in leaf at one spot, which I take to be this 

 species ; the wood abounds in C. pa/lens, Rich. (White Helle- 

 borine), which grows here to a great size ; the latter also occurs 

 in small quantity at the base of Hod Hill. Epipactis latifoh'a, 

 All. F. At the same spot below Hod Hill ; plantation on the 

 borders of Edmondsham, and also by a shady roadside near 

 Westworth Farm. E. palusiris, Crantz. F. In a wet meadow 

 by the Cran near Edmondsham. This is some miles north of 

 the only other record for this district, an old and very vague one 

 by Pulteney. It is stated by Wise (quoted in the Flora of Hants] 

 to be plentiful near Fordingbridge, but I have not succeeded in 

 finding the locality, which might quite possibly be in Dorset. 

 Orchis pyramidalis, L. F. Near Castle Hill, and plentiful 

 along the margins of the lane from Edmondsham to St. Giles 

 and of the Wimborne to Cranborne road near where it crosses 

 the lane ; by a chalk-pit between Shapwick and Kingston Lacy. 

 G. Dancing Ledge. 0. ustulala, L. Blagdon Down, near 

 Cranborne. O. Morio, L. D. Wareham. F. Plentiful in several 

 fields about Edmondsham, and remarkable for the great variety 

 of colour from deep purple to pure white, and of the markings 

 on the lower lip, in a field of rather light soil near Westworth 

 Farm. G. Stoborough. 0. incarnaia, L. F. Near Wareham 

 and E. of Wareham Station. F. Half-a-mile S. of Broadstone ; 

 Witchampton ; Edmondsham; by the R. Cran, S.E. of Cran- 

 borne. G. Bushey ; Godlingston Heath. O. lat/folia, L. D. 

 Wareham ; East Morden, Sherford Brook. E. Shillingston. F.
