TIPULARIA UNIFLORA ON MONTAUK POINT, 

 LONG ISLAND 



Roy Latham 



During a botanical expedition to Montauk in October 1926, 

 I was directed to several plants of Tipularia uniflora by Mrs. 

 Edward Vail of Orient and Montauk. In this colony were 

 thirty plants in leaf, only one of which had bloomed in 1926. 



The habitat there corresponds exactly with that of this 

 species found near Greenport by the writer. Shady, moist 

 knolls associated with Kalmia latifolia. 



While studying mosses in the Montauk region in April 1927, 

 the writer discovered a second colony of fifty-one plants in leaf; 

 five had flowered in 1926. This second colony, approximately 

 two hundred feet south of those found last fall, was in a circular 

 bed two and one-half feet in diameter and no scattered plants 

 were found outside. The leaves were large and healthy. The 

 largest leaves measuring two and three-fourth by one and 

 three-fourth inches wide with petioles three inches in length. 



There was no opportunity at that visit for an exhaustive 

 study of the vicinity and the eighty-one plants recorded here 

 may not embrace the full number of this rare orchid in that 

 section of Montauk.
