Z7(> REPORT OF NEW JERSEY SfTATEi MUSEUM. 



In 1818 Barton states that the plant is "very rare in the dark 

 swampy wood bordering a road leading from Kaighn's Point to 

 the Woodbury road," and specimens in the Philadelphia Acad- 

 emy Herbarium are labelled "Camden to Kaighn's Pt." and 

 "Below Gloucester Pt." Just how' many stations were known to 

 the older botanists I cannot say, but they all seem to have been in 

 the immediate vicinity of Camden, and all seem to have been 

 covered by the encroachment of the city and adjoining towns. 

 It was, therefore, a matter of no small interest when Mr. Geo. 

 W. Bassett, on June i, 1908, found a specimen of Listera in a 

 cedar swamp on Alberson's branch, five miles north of Hammon- 

 ton, an entirely new locality. Possibly further search in cedar 

 swamps will result in its discovery elsewhere.
