All the orchids in the above list I have recently found within a radius 
of one and a-half miles, northeast of Battle Creek. Twenty of them 
occur— some very rarely — in the immediate vicinity of a single lake a 
few acres in extent, a considerable marsh-rim too wet to be overrun by 
fire or to be pastured, sheltering the greatest number; and two species 
of Spirantlies appear at the junction of upland and marsh. The 
Larger Coral-root, Larger Yellow Ladyslipper, Rattlesnake Plantain and 
Hooker’s Orchid occur on the wooded hillside partly enclosing the lake 
basin. It is a veritable orchid paradise, especially to one who has the 
patience to hunt the proverbial “needle in the hay stack but I am 
dreading the day when ruthless “improvement” shall make it to the 
flower lover a barren waste. 
In addition to the above list, members of the Battle Creek Nature 
Club have also found not far from home the following: 
28. Aplectrum hyemale. 
29. Liparie lili jfolia. 
30. Habenaria orbiculata. 
31. Spiranthes lucida. 
But I have not yet seen these myself in my limited range.
