il8 AMERICAN MIDLAND NATURALIST 



Springs. Arbor-Vitae-Tamarack bog in the dune region, growing 

 with the preceding and the Stemless Lady's SHpper. Nos. 1948, 

 2033, 3203, collected near St. Joseph's Lake, Notre Dame; the 

 former by Kiesgen the others by Powers. I have seen the plant 

 in great abundance around the lakes at Notre Dame. The plants 

 have disappeared since then due to the fact that when the lakes 

 were dredged the marl was thrown upon them. Very common 

 on the Grand Trunk R. R. between South Bend and Crumstown.

GALEARIS Raf., Fl. Tell. pt. 2, p. 39, (1836), not Galearia 

 Heister, nor Galearia Presl. Symb. Bot. i,p. 49, (1830); Galeorchis^ 



' The name Galeorchis is a hybrid ctymologically composed of the 

 Greek orchis, and Latin galea. Cranorchis would have been more correct 

 and according to usage of good grammar. There should be some law, if 

 it is worth while making nomenclatorial laws for congresses which condemns 

 unfit names. The sanction thereof ought so to work as to render names 

 invalid post factum. We prefer the older name Galean's in spite of its close 

 relationship to Galearia in derivation not sound, and sound is in fact the 

 thing that makes a name different; for the name is the spoken word and 

 not a twist in spelling. W'ltffui, W'olfia, and W'ollfia are nearer alike than 

 the two words in question of four and five syllables, Galearis and Galearia.
