reach of comfortable quarters. Add to this the fact that Apple 

 Orchard is practically unknown to botanists and that the whole 

 region around the camp is a veritable flower-garden from about 

 May 20 to the end of June, while Rhododendron catawbiense and 

 Kalmia latifolia are in bloom, and the attraction is well-nigh 

 irresistible. 



Fig. I. Apple Orchard Camp, Virginia. 



A word about some of the plants found there late in October 

 may be of interest. I heard of lily of the valley, three species of 

 Cypripedium, two or mora species of Trillium, lilies, violets, and 

 other beautiful flowers that are abundant earlier in the season, 

 but I will confine my remarks to plants actually seen, although 

 most of these, with the exception of witch hazel, gentians, asters, 

 goldenrods, and turtlehead had already passed the flowering 

 stage. 



The fungi seen were mostly tough and woody species, the 

 fleshy species having appeared in late summer and early autumn, 

 A list of the sixty species collected appears in Mycologia for 

 January.
