leaving the meadow, several beautiful spikes were seen, on 
closer approach these were found to be those of Phlox maculata
but so closely did they resemble the Habenaria that from
a distance the two could not be distinguished, one from the
other.  We now crossed the track and here, I found the obtusilobata
var. of Onoclea sensibilis, a most excellent find.  It gave
me almost as much pleasure as finding the Habenaria.  Here we
stopped, and I put my plants into press.  Close by was a neat-looking
little brick structure, on the side of which was a small
over-shot water-wheel.  What was manufactured though, we were
not able to find out.  After I had put the plants in the press, we
entered the field and walked along the race.  We did not go very
far though and again walked along the track.  It was a little after
five, when we reached the next station; but we continued onward
a short distance.  A short time ago, while travelling on this rail-road
I had seen a swamp close by, and we wished very much to
go to it, but after walking some distance, seeing no sign of
it we decided to return.  On the west side of the road, north
of the station is a huge meadow; here we found more of the Habenaria
and I found my third find of Spiraea tomentosa growing with S.
