BOTANICAL GLEANINGS IN MICHIGAN. 267 
haps a score had yellow flowers; the others had flowers of a 
deep red color. About 90 per cent of the plants were termin- 
_ ated by a single flower and the other ten per cent bore an um- 
bel of from two to six flowers, mostly three or four. It prefers 
wet meadows but is frequently found in rich woods or in dry, 
rocky situations and even in peat bogs. Eagle Harbor, No. 
6606, June 29, 1923; Copper Harbor, No. 382, June 20, 1886; 
Birmingham, No. 382a, Sept. 7, 1903; Rochester, No. 382b, Au- . 
gust. 15, 1909; Wiard; No. 382c, June 25, 1910; Parkedale . 
Farm, No. 2807, July 4, 1912, and No. 3457, June 15, 1913. 
Disporum Cahnae, Farwell. The fruit is an obovoid, pubes- 
cent capsule, obtusely three-angled, in size and shape, much 
resembling that of Uvularia grandiflora. 
Blephariglottis cilaris (L.) Rydb. The Yellow-fringed Or- 
chis is a rare plant in Michigan. Three or four plants were 
found in a bed of sphagnum on the shores of what is called the 
“Hidden Lake,” near Lakeville. Billington, Farwell and Glade- 
witz, No. 6659, July 26, 1923. 
Arethusa bulbosa, L. In peat bogs. Very scarce. Eagle Har- 
bor, No. 6612, June 29, 1923; Clifton, No. 728, Sept. 19, 1889. 
_ Salix alba, L., var. calva, G. F. W. Meyer [var. coerulea 
(Sm.) Koch.] Only leaves were collected at this season of the 
year and neither these nor the color of the branches were char- _ 
acteristic of S. alba, S. vittelina or S. fragilis; the latter two 
erew in the vicinity and it may be a hybrid of these two 
species or what Beal lists as S. fragilis alba Wimmer. Banks 
of the Clinton River at Rochester, No. 6845, October 3. 
Salix pedicellaris, Pursh, var. hypoglauca, Fernald. On the 
shaky and very pliable sod overlaying a submerged lake near 
Hamburg. No. 6768, August 20. 
Salix candida, Flugge. With the last, No. 6769, Aug. 29. 
Alnus crispa (Ait.) Pursh. The Mountain Alder; it has 
been the subject of revision by Mr. Fernald who has come to 
the conclusion that it is not identical with the European 
species, hence the old names A. viridis and A. Alnobetula are 
to be discarded. Rocky shores at Eagle Harbor, No. 6599, 
June 29, 1923; sandy shores northwest of Clifton, No. 19, June 
18, 1883.
