EXPLORATIONS IN EDEN 



Clarence H. Knowlton 



A party of eight botanists spent four days of last July camping at 

 Eden Pond. The most interesting place visited was the Garden of 

 Eden, a peat-bog at high elevation. In the swampy wooded margin 

 were Listera cordata, L. convallarioides, and Habenaria obtusata. Be- 

 side the usual ericaceous plants of the open bog we found 

 Rhamnus alnifolia and Salix pedicillaris var. hypoglanca. Herbaceous 

 plants included Cyprxpedium hirsutum, C. parviflorum, Thalictrum. 

 polygamum var. hcbecarpum, Saxifraga pennsylvanica, and one soli 

 tary plant of Pyrola asarifolia var. incarnata. In wet evergreen woods 

 beyond the bog were Epipactis repens var. ophioides, Oxalis Acetosella 

 var. subpurpurascens and Carex paupercula var. pallens. 



Other interesting species of the town were Polystichum Braunii, 

 Danthonia compressa. Eriophorum gracile, Habenaria orbiculata, H. 

 dilatata, and Mimulus moschatus. the last in full bloom.
