. Contributions from the New York Botanical Garden. Plants. 618 RvDHERG : The American Species of lateral ones ovate-lanceolate, obtuse, spreading: petals lance- olate, acute, oblique, a little shorter than the sepals ; lip 5-6 mm. long, ovate-lanceolate, obtuse ; spur almost equalling or some- what exceeding the lip, distinctly clavate and curved. (Fig. 5.) This is the most common species in Greenland, but also found on the North American continent. It differs from L. hypcrborca in the stouter habit, the larger flowers, the broader lip and the clavate spur. It is more common than the specimens cited below seem to indicate, but I have cited here only the specimens in our herbaria, as these are the only ones presently at hand. Greenland: Godhaven, 1878, L. Kinnlcin; and a specimen by an unknown collector from Hooker's herbarium. Maine : Norway, S. O. Smith. Wisconsin : Milwaukee, /. A. Lapliaui. New York : North Yonkers, 1887,/. F. Poggenbiirg; Torrey; A. Gray. 6. LiMNORCHis MEDIA Rydb.; Britton, Man. N. St. 294. 1901 Habcnaria dilatata Torr. Comp. 3 18, in part. 1826. Not Orchis dilatata Pursh. 181 3 ; Habenaria hypcrborca Gray, Man. Ed. 5 : 500, in part. 1867, and subsequent authors. Stem very stout, 4-8 dm. high: tubers narrowly fusiform, 5-7 mm. thick : leaves lanceolate, acute, 1-2 dm. long : spike long, densely flowered ; bracts large, longer than the flowers, with sca- brous margins : flowers divaricate, about 15 mm. long : upper sepal ovate, obtuse, about 5 mm. long; lateral ones lance- olate or oblong, 5-6 mm. long: petals green or purplish, lanceolate, acute ; lips lanceolate, obtuse, about 6 mm. long ; spur filiform, /. c, not at all clavate, curved, slightly longer than the lip. (Fig. 6.) This is nearest related to the preceding, but still stouter, and differs in the narrower lip and more slender, not clavate spur. In habit it is intermediate between L. major and L. dilatata, and has been confused with both. The name refers to this fact and not to the siz
