central part of the swamp was filled with shrubby cinquefoil, 

 (Potentilla fruticosa) which makes a level-topped growth of con- 

 siderable extent. Plants of buckbean (Menyanthes trifoliata) 

 were in blossom among the cinquefoil stems and near the edge 

 of the swamp the smaller yellow lady's slipper (Cypripedium 

 parviflorum) was not uncommon. The larger species, or variety, 

 (C pubescens) was found in blossom on the slope above the 

 swamp. As in other years, the large clump, of yellow lady's 

 slipper just back of the inn was in prime condition, this year 

 with seventeen blossoms.
