Carex sparganioides Muhl. 

 Jamesville. H. D. House. No. 1293. 



Cythera bulbosa (Linn.) House 



(Calypso borealis Salisb.) 



One of the rarest of our native orchids, occurring in but few 

 localities. It was discovered at Jordanville swamp, Herkimer 

 county, by J. A. Paine, jr, in 1866, and collected there many years 

 later by Dr J. V. Haberer; near Rome many years ago by Mr 

 Bingham and near Otisco, Onondaga county, several years ago by 

 Samuel Cole. The other Onondaga county station is or was Lodi 

 swamp near Syracuse (House, no. 1108, 1905). The latter station 

 is probably now obliterated by the encroaching manufacturing dis- 

 trict, and with its passing, which is sincerely regretted by many 

 botanists, disappears one of the most interesting localities, botani- 

 cally known in the State. It was the home of many rare species, 

 among them being:
