/J.O THE BIOLOGICAL REVIEW. 



The specimen on which Linnaeus based his original descrip- 

 tion, is of the low, trailing form, and I believe is now in the 

 British Museum.

NOTES FROM MUSKOKA. 



Botrychhim ternatum intermedium Gray. — This is somewhat 

 rare in this locality, and found only when sought in secluded 

 places, under cover of bushes generally, always in damp, mossy 

 ground. The largest specimen I have found (September 28, 

 1892) measures 9' in height; the average is about 6'. The 

 spores ripen about the end of September. 



Ophioglossum vnlgatum L. P.L. 12735. On September 28, 

 1892, I found a small patch of this plant growing among rasp- 

 berry bushes, on the south side of a rocky hill. There were 

 about a dozen plants growing close together, and averaging 8' 

 in height. I secured three, the remainder being yellow and in 

 various stages of decay. Last year I looked for them, but there 

 was not half the number. I know that no one had removed 

 them. 



Habenaria tridentata Hook. P.L. 10079. On June 20, 

 1892, I found about half a dozen specimens growing on the 

 margin of an ice-cold spring, in a dark cedar swamp. The 

 largest among them measured 7' in height, the smaller ones 4' 

 to 5' . These are the only specimens I have ever seen. 



Habenaria orbiculata Torr. P.L. 10072. This is exceed- 

 ingly rare ; indeed, I only know of five specimens having been 

 found in this vicinity, three of which I collected myself. These 

 I have found in dry, shady woods, occupying a space clear from 

 other small herbage. I have one before me now, which 

 measures 14' in height, and bears twelve perfect blossoms. 

 The leaves are 4f' in diameter.
