 Thomas Lynton Briggs and Walter S. Allen, both of Flushing. 



Both Corallorrhizas by Mr. Allen. 



In determining the rarity of these plants the writer was guid- 

 ed by "Flora of the Vicinity of New York" by Mr. Norman 

 Taylor, who kindly checked up a part of the list with discoveries 

 made since his book was published.

 of the Vicinity of New York."
