fessor Underwood and Rev. W. M. Beauchamp. A lesser num- 

 ber is represented in the herbaria of Syracuse University and of 

 the New York Botanical Garden. There are recorded for this 

 region as defined above, forty-five species and two varieties, one 

 of the latter being new. 



Cypripedium L. 



C. arietinum R. Br. Very rare. Clay swamp, Onondaga Co., 

 Mrs. M. O. Rust, 1883. Reported by Paine from southern 

 Herkimer County ; and near Oneida Lake according to Asa 

 Gray. 



C. acaule Ait. Common. Most abundant in the sandy pine 

 woods of the lower elevations, and especially about Oneida 

 Lake and in Oneida County. 



C. reginae Walt. Common in sphagnum bogs and in swamps, 

 in both the hilly and lowland regions. 



C. candidum Willd. Rare. In a sphagnum swamp near Syra- 

 cuse, and some years abundant there. Specimens from there 

 are in several herbaria. Mr. Paine remarks that it is to be 

 looked for in places where its companion plants, Parnassia 

 Caroliniana and Valeriana sylvatica, grow. Paine did not 

 know of this station but his observations upon its companion 

 plants are well borne out here, the two mentioned being very 

 abundant, as is also Dasipliora frnticosa.

 ville, Madison Co. 



C. parviflornm Salisb. Common. Syracuse, Onondaga Co.,
