severe freeze has on them remains to be seen. At the time of 

 the first discovery it was just six weeks after a minimum tem- 

 perature of about i6° F. in Tallahassee, which killed many cul- 

 tivated woody plants to the ground; and it is possible that the 

 leaves we first saw had all come out since that freeze. 



The inhabitants within several miles of the place seem to be 

 all negroes, and we have not yet heard that any of them know 

 any name or use for Grossularia echinella, aXlhoxigh. according 

 to Mr. Coville its fruit is sweet and juicy. * But we have not 

 talked about it much locally, for fear of giving the impression 

 that it is something valuable and thus causing a raid on it. 

 Several specimens that have been transplanted to yards in 

 Tallahassee are growing nicely.

FURTHER NOTES ON CALYPSO 



Henry Mousley 



I have found an Orchis: 

 "What of that?" you say, 

 T'is a proof that miracles 

 Happen every day. 



The above lines, I believe, are attributable to Mrs. Talbot 

 Clifton, the authoress of "Pilgrims To The Isles of Penance," 

 "Orchid gathering in the East", or as it was to have been 

 called, "The Orchid Pilgrimage," and I have chosen them as 

 being a somewhat appropriate heading to this further paper on 

 the underground development of Calypso. In my first article 

 on the subject — see the "Journal of the New York Botanical 

 Garden" for February 1924 — it seemed to me that I had covered 

 the ground fairly well, but even after years of patient research, 

 it is no surprise to the orchid hunter to find new wonders awaiting 

 him, not only above, but below ground also. It is in the study 

 of the latter phase more especially, that I am meeting with new 



* Supplementary note. Dr. Kurz visited the locality on June 2, 1924, 

 a few days' before leaving Florida for the summer, and found the goose- 

 berries not quite ripe. But Mrs. Kurz gathered some of them, and the 

 next morning made from them some jelly, which in both color and taste 

 was very similar to apple, jelly.
