DAWSON BROTHERS.
1883.
In this publication it is intended to enumerate systematically the
plants of the Dominion of Canada, and to define their range in so
far as the knowledge at present available enables this to be done.
This, the first part of the Catalogue, will be followed by others, as
soon as it is possible to complete the necessary examination of col-
lections and authorities.
ALFRED R. C. SELWYN.
Orrawa, May, 1883.
PREFACE.
THE purpose of this work is to place in the hands of Canadian
botanists, in a connected torm, the knowledge so far obtained of the
extent and distribution of the Flora of Canada. It is believed that this
Catalogue will satisfy a long-felt want, and enable botanists to add to,
or make more accurate, the data at present available, and in the course
of afew years remove the serious difficulties which now stand in the
way ofa “Flora of Canada.”
Forty-three years ago Sir William Jackson Hooker aeuea his
great work the “ Flora Boreali Americana,” and in it recorded all the
inowledne obtained of species and their distribution by the early
travellers and explorers. In the same year, 1840, Torrey and Gray
published their work on the Flora of North America, which included
the Polypetale only. Three years later the Gamopetale to the end of
the Composite, was published by the same authors. After the lapse of
thirty-five years Dr. Asa Gray published the remaining Gamopetale
in the year 1878. The four works above enumerated contain all we
know of Canadian botany, beyond the lists which have appeared occa-
sionally in Canadian scientific publications.
In giving the distribution of species I have freely availed myself of
all published records. My own observations, having extended from the
Eastern Provinces to the Pacific, enable me to speak with accuracy and
decision on many points which a more limited knowledge of distribution
would preclude. The collections made during the last ten years by the
gentlemen on the staff of the Geological and Natural History Survey in
various parts of Canada have ba examined by me, and also many
other collections made in Ontario.
Through the kindness of Principal Dawson I have likewise examined
the very large Herbarium 9f McGill College and the collections of Dr.
VI PREFACE,
Holmes, made in the neighborhood of Montreal as early as 1821. The
McGill College collections are from all parts of Canada, but chiefly from
Quebec, and are of very great scientific interest. *
For our notices of Newfoundland plants, besides the volumes men-
tioned above, we are indebted to the late Dr. John Bell, who published
a list of plants collected by him on the west coast of that island in the
summer of 1867, in the Canadian Naturalist for 1869; and to the McGill
College Herbarium. ;
Our knowledge of the Nova Scotia flora is derived chiefly from a list
published in the Proceedings and Transactions of the Nova Scotian
Institute of Natural Science for 1875-76, to which the following gentle-
men. contribute :—Prof. How, D.C.L., King’s College, Windsor, N. 8. ;
Prof. Lawson, Ph.D., LL.D., Dalhousie College, Halifax, N.8.; Prof.
Sommers, M.D., Halifax Medical College; Rev. B. H. Ball, St. Luke’s,
Halifax, N. 8.; D. A. Campbell, M.D., C.M., Halifax Medical College;
A. W. H. Lindsay, M.D., Halifax, N.S. In addition to the published
catalogue, A. H. McKay, B.A., Principal of the Pictou Academy, N.S.,
sent me a very valuable manuscript list of his own extensive collections
in that province and the islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. McGill
College Ierbarium also supplies additional matter.
New Brunswick notices are principally from a catalogue of New
Brunswick plants, published in the years 1878-79, by the Rev. James
Fowler, M.A., Professor of Natural History, Queen’s College, Kingston,
Ont., but late Science Master in the Normal School at Fredericton, N. B.
The Bulletin of the Natural History Society of New Brunswick for the
years 1882-83 contains additional notices both of species and localities.
Contributions from the following gentlemen are also acknowledged :
G. F. Matthew, M.A., Prof. Bailey, Messrs. G. U. Hay, James Vroom,
Robert Chalmers, James Moser, Arthur J. Trueman, J. Brittain, G. H.
Burnett and J. E. Wetmore.
Our knowledge of the Quebec flora is obtained from the following
sources: A catalogue of the plants collected by the late Dr. Andrew
Holmes in the vicinity of Montreal about the year 1821. The plants
themselves are in the Herbarium of McGill College. Dr. Thomas’ list of
the plants growing at Riviére du Loup and on the Island of Orleans.
L’Abbé Ovide Brunet’s Catalogue, published in 1865 by himself, and
distributed to his friends, gave all the Canadian plants in the Herbarium
of Laval University, Quebec. W.S. M. D’Urban collected, in the year
*Among the principal contributors to the McGill College Herbarium, the following may be
mentioned:—Dr. Andrew Holmes, Miss Brodie, Rev. Mr. Butler, D. F. H. Wilkins, B.A.,
Labrador plants; Mr. George Barnston, Arctic plants ; H. E. Trapnell, Newfoundland plants;
W. W. Doherty, New Brunswick plants; Principal Dawson, Dr. F. Ww. Kelley, Nova Scotian
lants. Also Dr. R. 8. McConnell, Dr. B. J. Harrington, Dr. C. E. Graham, Dr. B. J- Wales,
r. John Bell, and Messrs. W. B. Dawson, B.A., H. H. Lyman, B.A., R. G- McConnell, B.A.,
D. Currie, B.A., L. M. England, B.A., Walter Lyman, B.A., J. C. McRae, J. A. Porter, B.A.,
R. C. Kirkpatrick, James Meahan and G. H. Blackadar.
PREFACE. VII
1858, in the counties of Argenteuil and Ottawa, and published the list in
the Canadian Naturalist and Geologist for 1861. A few additions have
been obtained from the Canadian Flora, publisked by L’Abbe Pro-
vancher, and from Dr. Maclagan, who collected near Montreal, and at a
few other localities in the province of Quebec. The results of my own
explorations in Gaspé during the summer of 1882 are included, as well
as notes obtained from an examination of the various collections in
McGill College and the Herbarium of the Natural History Society of
Montreal. Anything relating to the flora of the province that could be
culled from Sir William Hooker’s Flora is likewise added.
Ontario has been pretty thoroughly worked up in almost every
district. The eastern part by Mr. James Fletcher and Mr. R. B. Whyte,
of the Ottawa Field Naturalists’ Club, and by the late B. Billings, Esq.,
in the neighborhood of Prescott and Brockville. My own explorations
include the counties of Prince Edward, Addington, Hastings, North-
umberland, Peterboro and Victoria, in the central district; the vicinity
of Toronto, the Niagara Peninsula, the country along Lake Erie and the
line of the Canada Southern railway, Pelee Point and Island, the
vicinity of Owen Sound and the Bruce Peninsula; the north shore of
Lake Superior, and the whole extent of the Dawson Route, from
Thunder Bay to Manitoba, including the valley of the Kaminis-
tiquia River. The neighborhood of Hamilton has been well explored by
the late Judge Logie and J. M. Buchan, M.A., principal of Upper
Canada College, Toronto. The district around London has been care-
fully examined by William Saunders, Hsq., President of the Entomo-
logical Society, and Dr. Thomas Burgess, Assistant Superintendent of
the Insane Asylum of that city. The researches of the latter gentle-
man have extended from Niagara Falls to Muskoka and Parry Sound,
and he has added many rare southern forms to the flora of the province.
H. B. Spotten, M.A., Principal of Barrie High School, has collected
largely in the vicinity of Lake Simcoe. The eminent Douglas, Dr.
Todd, Mr. Goldie and Dr. Maclagan have also done good service. The
collections of the three first named were examined by Sir William
Hooker, and all localities credited to them are taken from his work.
Dr. Robert Bell has collected in the country north of Lake Superior,
along the shores of Lake Huron and in the country extending northward
to James’ Bay, along the east coast of Hudson’s Bay, and in the valleys
of the Nelson and Churchill Rivers, and the intervening district.
The great plains between Manitoba and the Rogky Mountains have
been pretty thoroughly examined. The collection made by Dr. G. M.
Dawson, while geologist and naturalist to the Boundary Commission,
embraces the whole flora of the 49th parallel, from the Lake of the
Woods to the Rocky Mountains. During the summers of 1872, 1875,
VIII PREFACE.
1879 and the two following years, I made extensive journeys through
both the prairie region and the wooded country to the north, as far as
Lat. 59°, including the whole length of the great Peace River. M.
Bourgeau, while botanist to Captain Palliser’s expedition in 1857-58,
made numerous traverses of the country bordering on the Saskatch-
ewan and southward. Douglas and Drummond explored the whole
country from the Red and Assiniboine Rivers, by the North Saskatch-
ewan and Athabasca to the Rocky Mountains. The former passed
across the Rocky Mountains by the Athabasca Pass, and examined the
entire length of the valley of the Columbia, while the latter collected
in the main range of the Rocky Mountains, between Lat. 52°-56°, and
particularly in that part about the head of Smoky River, a tributary of
the Peace. Sir John Richardson and other Arctic explorers noted.and
collected the plants of the wooded country from Hudson’s Bay to the
Arctic Sea, its coasts and islands, including the country north of the
Saskatchewan and the whole valley of the Mackenzie.
Our knowledge of the Rocky Mountain region proper is still, how-
ever, very imperfect. Dr. G. M. Dawson has examined the region in
the vicinity of the South Kootanie Pass, near the 49th parallel, and
traversed the mountains by the Pine Pass, in Lat. 55°. In September,
1879, I ascended the Bow River Pass for a few miles, and obtained
some knowledge of its alpine flora. Bourgeau also spent some time,
in August, 1858, in the Bow River Pass and on the adjacent mountains,
and made extensive collections. Douglas’ and Drummond’s explora-
tions have already been referred to, but the latter may be said to have
given us the most valuable information, as he spent a whole summer
in the mountains. I examined the Peace River Pass and ascended
Mount Selwyn at its western end, in 1875, but owing to the loss of the
collections the results obtained were not satisfactory.
British Columbia, also, still requires much attention. Besides the
early explorers mentioned by Hooker, the following are our sources of
information: During the early part of 1875 I made very extensive
collections on Vancouver Island near Victoria, and all the way, by the
valley of the Fraser, from the coast to Fort MacLeod at the western
base of the Rocky Mountains, in Lat. 55°. Dr. G. M. Dawson has
collected on Vancouver Island, in the valley of the Fraser, and in
the country lying west of it to the Coast Ranges, in 1875-76. In
the summer of 1877 in southern British Columbia on the Cascades and
dry valleys lying to.the east. The summer of 1878 was spent by him
in the Queen Charlotte Islands, and in 1879 a traverse was made to the
Rocky Mountains by way of the Skeena. A. J. Hill, C.E., has added
considerably to our knowledge of the flora of the Fraser and Thompson
Rivers, during the summers of 1880-81-82.
PREFACE. Ix
Alaska has been included in the catalogue, as its flora is that of our
western coast and north-western interior region. Besides the refer-
ences to it taken from Hooker’s Flora Boreali Americana, I have used
Dr. J. T. Rothrock’s Catalogue of Alaskan Plants, published in the
Smithsonian Report for the year 1867.
All plants which are common to British North America and Green-
land are introduced. The catalogue used is that of Sir Joseph Hooker,
in the Arctic Manual published in 1875.
In conclusion, I would again state that the present work is by no
means final, and would invite the co-operation of botanists in all parts
of Canada in the work of adding to our list of species and assisting to
define the limits and varietal range of those already known.

(93.) N. tuberosa, Paine. Tuber-bearing Water-lily.
Found in all the marshes along the Bay of Quinte, and abundant in
muddy or marshy flats along Lake Ontario, from Presquw’ Ile eastward.
Without doubt this is the Water Lily of Burlington Bay, and of the
marshes along Lakes Erie and Huron. It has been reported from
London, Ont. (Burgess), and Ottawa. (Fletcher.) It is easily distin-
guished from WV. odorata by its scentlesss flowers and tuber-bearing
rhizomes. This is really the Water-lily of the Great Lakes as the true
NV. odorata seems to be confined to the northern waters, both lakes and
rivers.

Var. (?) Fletcher’s Fl. Ott.
This form, found in the Ottawa River, near Ottawa city, Mr. Fletcher,
after a careful examination of his specimens, and particularly the fruit,
came to the conclusion was “merely a hybrid between WV. advena and
NV. Kalmiana.” To decide the question he sent both living and dried
specimens to Professor R. Casparry, Director of the Botanic Gardens,
Konigsberg, the highest authority on Nuphar, whose answer was as
follows: “Ihave not the slightest doubt but that your Nuphar is N.
advena+ Kalmiana. It is intermediate between the two, and what is
decisive is this—its pollen is very bad; no less than 95 per cent. of the
grains in the specimens sent had no fovilla. MV. advena and Kalmiana
CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN PLANTS. 33
both have very good pollen.” From the above Mr. Fletcher is inclined
to believe that all our notices of W. luteum refer to similar hybrids
between, these species, and I see no reason to doubt his conclusions ;
but it is of the utmost importance that all forms of Nuphar should be
carefully collected.

(566.) G. Canadensis, Lam.
A number of very large trees of this species were found growing on
the northern end of Pelee Island, in Lake Hrie, in the summer of 1882.
The settlers on the island say that there were many others when they
began to clear off the timber. A few of the trees were over two feet
in diameter. This species has been planted in the town of Niagara,
where it has attained a iarge size, and seems to bear the winter with-
out injury. Two large trees of this species are to be seen close to
Rideau Hall, near Ottawa, where they must have stood for nearly half
acentury. (Macoun.)

This species is common in cultivation throughout Ontario, and is

growing on the sand dunes of Pelee Point. The seed had probably
drifted across the lake from Ohio, as sand is not the true habitat of
this tree.

Very abunde:t in thickets, extending from Newfoundland, Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick across the entire continent. On the Pacific
coast, it seems to merge into the next species, which at any rate takes
its place on the coast. It is found as far north as Lat. 62° on the Mac-
kenzie. On the southern prairie amongst sand and along river banks,
it produces fruit which vies in sweetness with the far-famed “Sas-
kutoom” berries of the Plain Indians. The prairie form should be
carefully compared with the eastern one.

are unknown. In the spring of 1875 I collected a number of immature

have ever seen, on Cedar Hill, near Victoria, on Vancouver Island.
The specimens obtained were very pubescent, and were possibly of this
species. Mature specimens are much desired.

PREFACE.
PART I.
In the preface to the first part of this catalogue, mention was made
of the authorities from which our materials were drawn, and the names
of the various botanists from whom or through whom we had obtained
a knowledge of the geographical range of the various species.
One important omission was, however, inadvertently made. Promi-
nence should have been given to the fact that through the kindness of
Dr. Asa Gray and his able assistant, Sereno Watson, Esq., all doubtful
species were critically examined and reported on by them. In every
case their decision was considered final, except where mention is made
of divergence of opinion and the reasons therefor given in the text.
For many years these gentlemen have assisted me in determining our
difficult phenogams, and much of the real value of the present work is
due to them.
During the past year additional data have been obtained from most
of the Provinces, chiefly from the following sources :—Extensive collec-
tions were made by myself in Nova Scotia, Cape Breton and Anticosti.
In New Brunswick several enthusiastic botanists have greatly extended
the knowledge of the flora and added many species to the provincial
list. Mr. Henry Ami, of the Geological and Natural History Survey,
has added a number of interesting species to the Ontario flora, and
Adis Fowler, C.E., of Toronto, has contributed a local list of the species
found near that city. David F. Day, President of the Buffalo Natural:
History Society, has transmitted a complete list of the species collected
by himself and others on the Canadian side of the Niagara River and
on the shore of Lake Erie. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company
had extensive collections made last summer in the prairie region by
Messrs. Mason, Ducker, Creelman and J. M. Macoun. Dr. G. M.
Dawson, assisted by J. B. Tyrrell, B.A., in connection with his explora-
IV PREFACE.
tions in the Rocky Mountains has made many valuable additions to the
flora of that region. In British Columbia, Mr. James Fletcher, of
Ottawa, has collected on Vancouver Island and in the valleys of the
Fraser and Thompson rivers; while Mr. Cowley and J. A. Hill, C.E.,
have favoured me with many interesting plants from various parts of
that province.
Special thanks are due to Thomas Meehan, Hsq., State Botanist of
Pennsylvania, for an extensive manuscript list of the species collected
by him on the British Columbian and Alaskan coasts, during the sum-
mer of 1883. This list is a valuable addition to our knowledge of the
west coast flora.
It is proposed to continue the present work until all known species of
Canadian plants are catalogued, and their geographical range recorded,
and the writer earnestly invites all botanical students within the
Dominion to assist in this necessary work. The next part will com-
plete the exogens, and to this an addendum will be attached bringing
our knowledge of the foregoing parts up to date.

form approaches var. tinctorium, but is quite distinct, being constantly
two leaved and having larger and more widely spreading flowers.
Collected on Amherst Island, one of the Magdalens, in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence, by Mr. James Richardson, August 7th, 1879.

markable that this species, although northern and European, is not
found in the Hastern Provinces, except at Montreal. This plant varies
so much that none of the descriptions are constantly applicable, though
all forms are clearly referable to a single species. Rocky Mountain
specimens are scabrous above with very hairy fruit and the dried
leaves almost revolute and very obtuse.

PREFACE.
PART III.
This publication, constituting Part III. of the Catalogue of Canadian
Plants, carries the work on to the end of the exogens and completes
the first volume. It is identical in form with the first two parts, with
the exception of a change in the style of type used in the names of
introduced plants ; a change which enables the names of such plants
to be more readily distinguished.
The writer has again to thank Dr. Asa Gray and Mr. Serano Watson
for their continued assistance. To these gentlemen all doubtful forms
have been referred for final examination and decision, with the excep-
tion of the Willows, which, as more fully noted on a subsequent page,
have been examined and revised by Mr. M.S. Bebb, of Rockford, Ill.
The addendum contains facts relating to the plants enumerated in
the two first parts of the volume, which have been ascertained since
these parts were printed, also the names of such plants as have since
been found, but which were not formerly known to occur in the Domin-
ion. To botanists throughout Canada who have co-operated with the
author, he tenders his heartfelt thanks, and expresses the hope that this
work, to which they have lent assistance, will meet with their approval.
The names of many such friends will be found in the addendum.
Thanks are especially due to Mr. D. N. St. Cyr, F.RS.C., of the
Department of Public Instruction, Quebec, who by placing his large
collection at our disposal has enabled important additions to our know-
ledge of the flora of the Province of Quebec to be made.
In conclusion, it may be added that nearly all the stations men-
tioned in the addendum are represented in the herbarium of the survey,
and that no references considered doubtful have been included.

rather low rocky woods, but it is found in fence corners in all clearings.
Around Ottawa it seldom attains the height of 60 feet, but westward
it becomes larger and on the Niagara peninsula is much taller and

(1947.) U. Americana, Linn. American Elm.
U. Americana, var. pendula, Ait. Pursh, Fl. I., 200.
The White or American Elm delights in low, humid and rich soils,
and the better the soil, the larger the tree. This tree has a very wide
distribution, being found on the low intervale lands of Cape Breton,
Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. In Quebec it becomes more plen-
tifal, and in the valley of the St. Lawrence and throughout Ontario it
is very abundant. West of Toronto and in the whole district border-
ing on Lakes Erie and Huron it yrows to an enormous size, attaining
a greater height and girth than any other Canadian tree, except the
pine. West of Lake Huron, it retires again to the low alluvial soil in
river bottoms, and is found in the valley of the Red River from Pem-
bina to Lake Winnipeg. It ascends the Assiniboine to its source.
It passes by the way of lakes Manitoba and Winnipegoosis to Red Deer
River, which flows into the last named lake, where it ceases to grow in
Lat. 53°. (Macoun.) On the Saskatchewan, it ascends to near Cum-
berland House in Lat. 54° 30’, where Mr. A. S. Cochrane observed a
number of good sized trees. It occurs at the head waters of all the
principal branches of the Moose River, and on one of them, the
Missinaibi, found an outlier within 120 miles of James Bay. On
the Kenogami it extends to a point about half-way from Long Lake
to the Albany. (&. Bell.) At Lake Waswanapy, North-east Terri-
tory. (J. M. Macoun.)

Rather rare in the Eastern Townships, Quebec, and extending west-
ward throughout Ontario in the limestone areas. This tree seems to
be confined to dry gravelly soils and is usually associated with sugar
maple in such localities. It was formerly very common and large
quantities were cut down, squared and exported, but owing to the
destruction of maple woods it is now found chiefly as second growth
along roadsides and borders of fields.

XCIV. PLATANACEA, Puane-TRee Famizy,
545. PLATANUS, Linn. (BUTTON-WOOD.)
(1963.) P. occidentalis, Linn.
This very large and magnificent tree seems to have its eastern limit
in the valley of the Don at Toronto, from thence it becomes more
plentiful and increases in size, and at Hamilton and all through the
western peninsula of Ontario, in low damp woods it becomes a conspi-
cuous forest tree. It seems to prefer river bottoms but in the low
country between St. Thomas and Ambherstburgh, it is particularly
common.

A few trees on the bank of the Nation River at Casselman, thirty
miles south east of Ottawa, also at Deschenes Rapids on the Ottawa.
(Fletcher.) The above record is the only notice of this tree, outside
of the valley of the St. Lawrence River, except a few trees in rear
of Montreal Mountain, until Kingston is passed. It is abundant on
both sides of the Bay of Quinte and ascends the Salmon, Moira and
Trent Rivers, the latter to four miles above Campbellford. Westward
from the Trent it is found more inland, but always on river banks until
the meridian of Toronto, is reached, when it is found mixed with other
trees in the forest. On the Niagara peninsula, especially at Queenston
Heights and the Falls, it constitutes the greater part of the forest, and
along Lake Erie with other hickories, attains its largest size often
rising with a straight stem to 80 feet and generally overtopping the
other trees. Along Lake St. Clair it is still abundant and probably
reaches Goderich on Lake Huron.

dant in wet woods and low damp places in fields and along roadsides
from the neighborhood of Montreal westward through Ontario.
It is quite common on the Quebec side of the river at Ottawa, and
extends for a considerable distance up the Gatineau. Proceeding west-
ward, it becomes a much finer tree and is a prominent species on the
whole western peninsula up to the Georgian Bay.
547. JUCLANS, Linn. (WALNUT.)
(1968.) J. cinerea, Linn. Butternut.
This is a widely spread and beautiful species extending from southern
New Brunswick throughout Quebec and Ontario to the Georgian Bay.
Whether by the roadside, in the field or forest, it is a beautiful object
and its wide spreading branches give a grateful shelter to both man and
beast when oppressed by the mid-day heat of a summer’s day.
(1969.) J. nigra, Linn. Black Walnut.
The distribution of this tree is limited to that part of Ontario, west of
Toronto, where it might have been called the king of the forest thirty
years ago. At present, very few of the old trees remain, but visitors to
Niagara Falls may still see a number of magnificent ones in that vicin-
ity, though these are little over a century old. There is no reason
why this tree should not be planted wherever the butternut is indige-
nous, as they grow side by side at Belleville and Ottawa, and the black
walnut makes the more vigorous growth. In the district bordering on
Lako Erie it is still a plentiful tree and south of St. Thomas, many of
the old fences are largely composed of black walnut rails, while the
stumps are still conspicuous objects in the fields.

In determining the willows, we have had the assistance of M. 8.
Bebb, Esq., Rockford, Ilinois, who has made a special study of the
North American species. All specimens collected by Dawson, Fletcher,
Burgess, Vroom, Bell and myself, have been submitted to him, and our
determinations either confirmed or corrected. The synonymy is far
from perfect, but it is the best we could do with the materials at hand.
Collectors would confer a favor by gathering fruiting specimens in all
parts of the country.

(2053.) P. tremuloides, Michx. Aspen.
P. trepida, Willd. Pursh. Fl. L, 618.
One of the most widely distributed of the deciduous trees. It is
found on all dry slopes from Newfoundland and Labrador throughout
the northern forest region to Alaska. It constitutes the “ bluffs”
and copse wood scaitered over the prairie region, and is a fine
large tree in the southern part of the sub-arctic forest. Although it
is always found on the dry slopes in the north, in Ontario it more
frequently grows on wet than on dry soil.
(2054.) P. grandidenta, Michx. Large-toothed Aspen.
Rather common in many places in Nova Scotia, mixed with aspen.
(Macoun.) Vicinity of Pictou, N.S. (MecKay.) Quite common in

Ontario, but usuaily taken for aspen. It generally grows on sandy
soil, intermixed with young pines.
(2055.) P. balsamifera, Linn. Balsam Poplar.
This tree, in habit, differs very much from the aspen, but in its
range it extends even further north, and instead of being of little value,
as the aspen is, it attains a great size and height, as far north
as the arctic circle on the Mackenzie River. West of Manitoba
and northward, it is usually found growing on alluvium in the river
valleys, and in such situations it is often nearly 150 feet high, and
frequently over seven feet in diameter. On the Peace River and
all streams which unite to form the Mackenzie, it occupies all the
islands and low alluvial banks. During the period of flood many trees
fall into the rivers by the wearing away of the banks, and a great
number of them in the course of time reach the Arctic Ocean. These
are eventually cast on the islands and shores, and become the chief
source from which is derived the fuel supply of arctic travel-
lers. The same may be said of the Youcon valley in Alaska, as it is
this tree that occupies the valley and islands of that river on all newly
formed lands, but in time gives place to spruce as the sub-soil
becomes cold and moist from the density of the poplar and willow
growth,

Rather common in all the river valleys throughout the prairie region

At “Big Stick” Lake, north of the Cypress Hills, there was a grove
of these trees of a very large size in existence in 1880. These had
escaped the annual prairie fires, being surrounded and partly cov-
ered up by sand, and stood as a proof of the existence of forests in the
past, where now there is not evena bush. The trees were over 50
feet high, and some of them at least two feet in diameter.
Note.
Populus alba (Abele Tree), and P. dilatata (Lombardy Poplar), are
quite common throughout the older settlements. The former is very
difficult to eradicate when once established, owing to the great number
of offsets that spring from the roots.

James Bay, and in the neighborhood of Moose Factory. The northern
limit crosses the Albany at some distance from the sea, and continues
westward to a point about seventy-five miles south-west of Trout Lake,
where it turns south-west and reaches the southern extremity of Lake

This is one of the finest trees of Western America, both as regards
height and diameter. On the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway it
first appears as a shrub on the mountains about Kicking Horse Lake,
at an altitude of 6,000 feet, going westward down the valley of the
Kicking Horse it soon becomes a small tree, but in the Columbia val-
ley is rather scarce until about ten miles below Donald, where it forms
large groves, and in the valleys of Beaver Creek and the Illecillewaet,
in the Selkirk Mountains it reaches a height of over 150 feet, with a
diameter of frequently over ten feet. (MMacoun.) It occurs abund-
antly and well-grown in the lower parts of the lateral valleys of the
Columbia-Kootanie valley, on the north-east side, south of the Kicking
Horse, but does not descend into the last-named great valley, which has
a comparatively dry climate. In British Columbia this tree abounds
along the coast and lower parts of the rivers of the Coast Range, north-
ward to Alaska, but is unknown in the dry central plateau, yet it
appears abundantly on the slopes of the Selkirk and Gold Ranges. On
the Salmon River the cedar ceases at forty-five miles from the head of
Dean Inlet, at an elevation of 2,400 feet, though, like the hemlock, it
is again found sparingly, and in a stunted form in the lower part of
the Iltasyouco valley, east of the range. On the Homathco it ceases
at a distance of sixty-three miles from the coast at an elevation of
2,720 feet. On the Uz-tli-hoos it ends, with the hemlock, at about six
miles above Boston Bar; on the Coquihalla, just south of the summit
between that river and the Coldwater. Cedars are also found sparingly
on the Skaist River, or east branch of the Skagit, and a few were
observed on the banks of the Similkameen, about thirteen miles below
Vermilion Forks. It extends westward from the flanks of the Gold
Range, in the Coldstream valley, sparingly, to within eight miles of

the head of Okanagan Lake. It abounds round the shores of the
north-eastern part of Shuswap Lake, and in the North Thompson val-
ley, to about twenty miles below the mouth of the Clearwater. It is
said that there is a grove of trees of this species on the Fraser below
Fort George, and Sir Alexander Mackenzie (1793) found it growing,
in company with the hemlock, at the head waters of the Parsnip. It
also occurs in the valley of the Quesnel. (Dawson.)

This tree is closely confined to the vicinity of the coast and adja-
cent islands. It is also found about Burrard Inlet, on the slopes of the
mountains, several hundred feet above the sea level. On Silver Moun-
tain, near Yale, Mr. Sargent describes a few large trees as occurring at
4,000 feet elevation, and many smaller ones extending up to 5,500 feet.
Further north it descends to the coast. It also occurs in the interior
of Vancouver Island, being found sparingly on the shores of the
Nimpkish or Karmutzen Lake, and generally on plateaux and mountains
a short distance inland on the northern part of the island. It reaches
the sea-level in the northern part of Queen Charlotte Sound, and is
abundant in some parts of Queen Charlotte Islands, particularly on
the west coast. It sometimes exceeds six feet in diameter. (Dawson.)

to the summit of the Rocky Mountains at Kicking Horse Lake. In
the east it is usually found along rivers and lakes, creeping down the

(2072.) P. Strobus, Linn. White Pine.
One of our most valuable and widely spread trees, extending from
Newfoundland, Anticosti, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, through-
out Quebec and Ontario, and reaching nearly to Lake Winnipeg. Dr.
Bell places its eastern limit on the north shore of the St. Lawrence at
Mingan; thence it passes westerly and northerly round the head
of Lake St. John, and, still keeping to the north, is found on the head
waters of the Moose River. In the country north of Lake Superior it
is very scarce; in fact, has no existence on the line of the Pacific
Railway, and only a few trees occur on Nipigon River. (Macoun.)
It is scattered over the country between Lake Superior and the Winni-
peg River and around Lonely Lake, but is of rather small size. In
approaching Lake Winnipeg, the limiting line of the tree curves to the
south-westward, and crosses the Winnipeg River about fifteen miles
above Fort Alexander, and then runs south to Lat, 49°, a little east of
Red River. (R. Beil.)

Passing west on the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the
Rocky Mountains, this tree is first met with on the slopes of the Col-
umbia valley, near Donald. Thence westward, it becomes more
plentiful along Beaver Creek, in the Selkirk Mountains, but never
very common, although becoming a fine tall tree on the mountain sides.
(Macoun.) This tree is found on the Hope-Similkameen trail, some
miles beyond the summit, on the Sumallow, about the summit between
the Coquihalla and Coldwater, on the Hope-Nicola trail, and to the
west bank of the Spioos at the trail-crossing. On the Homathco River
it disappears at fifty-one miles from the sea, at an elevation of 2,235
feet.. It reappears in the region of heavy rainfall of the Gold Range,
being abundant at Cherry Creek and on the shores of the Great
Shuswap and Adam’s Lake. Sparingly in the valley of the Tobacco
River and other streams south of the Kicking Horse and north-east of

southern portions of the Coast Range where there is an abundant rain-
fall. It has not been observed on Queen Charlotte Islands, though it
may exist there. (Dawson.)

tree, as well as all the sandy tracts in Central Ontario. Fine groves
can be seen on the Canadian Pacific railway as far west as Dog Lake,
but after this it becomes rare, and the last one disappears at Birch
Lake, about fifty miles to the west. A few trees appear again on the

and line of the Gold and Selkirk Ranges, from the 49th parallel north-
ward to Latitude 51° 30’; also in the Columbia-Kootanie valley, as far

probably erroneous. On the Similkameen, this tree is found furthest
west three miles above Nine-Mile Creek. On the Coldwater it reaches
to eighteen or twenty miles from the Nicola; down the Fraser, to
thirty miles above Yale, and northward on the main waggon-road to
“the Chasm,” beyond Clinton. It extends for about forty miles up the
North Thompson, is found on the northern slopes of the south-western
arm of the Great Shuswap Lake, and also sparingly on the southern

On the east side of the Rocky Mountains, this species was first noticed
in the alpine woods between the Athabasca River and Lesser Slave
Lake; thence southward it is found on the gravelly slopes of the moun-
tains and foot-hills, at an altitude of about 4,000 feet. Fine groves are
found at the western end of the Cypress Hills, but they never descend
more than 500 feet below the summit. On the line of the Canadian
Pacitic Railway it is abundant, both in the Bow valley and on the
mountain sides, amongst gravel, especially at Silver City, and west-
ward to Laggan. In the Columbia valley it covers wide areas of poor
soil at Donald, and is seen on all the lower slopes of the mountains on
the east side of the river. (Macoun.) This is the characteristic tree
over the northern part of the interior plateau of British Columbia, and
densely covers great areas. In the southern part of the province it is
found abundantly on parts of the plateau and hills which rise above
the height of 3,500 feet, where the rainfall becomes too great for the
healthy growth of P. ponderosa. It grows also abundantly on the sandy
benches and river-flats at less elevations. Dall states the northern limit
of this tree to be on the Youcon, at Fort Selkirk, Latitude 62°. In the
Peace River region it crosses the Rocky Mountain range, and_ occurs,
more or less abundantly, over a great area, generally on the higher
plateaux with poor soil. It is replaced by the Banksian pine at the
water-shed between the Athabasca and Saskatchewan, south of Atha-
basca Landing. Abundant southward in the Rocky Mountains to the
49th parallel, and extending into the adjacent foothills. In the interior
of British Columbia it often forms dense groves, the trees being 60 to
even 100 feet in height, but seldom exceeding a diameter of two feet.
It does not extend upward to the timber limit in the Rocky Mountains.
Found also in the Sweet Grass Hills. (Dawson.)

This tree extends from Halifax, in Nova Scotia, north-westerly to the
Athabasca River, near old Fort Assiniboine, and northerly down the
Mackenzie River to the arctic circle. In the east it scarcely forms a
tree, but on the Ottawa, at Petewawa and Chalk River, it is one of
some size. North of Lake Superior, it forms groves of tall trees,
which become taller and finer on the Dawson Route; westward of
Lake Winnipeg and north of the Saskatchewan, it equals the red
pine of the east in height and diameter. It is so well-grown on
the Clearwater River, north of Methy Portage, that Sir John
Richardson confounded it with P. resinosa in his list of trees and shrubs
of British America. (Macoun.) Starting from the head of the Bay of
Chaleurs, its northern limit seems to be Lake Mistassini, from which
it runs west to the Moose River, keeping about 100 miles south of
James Bay. It does not touch either James or Hudson Bay. (R. Bell.)
Abundant, though of small size, in most of the country around Lake
Mistassini and down the Rupert River as far as Lake Nemiskow. (J.
M. Macoun.) Two trees only have been observed near Ottawa, one
found on King’s Mountain, Chelsea, P.Q., by Mrs. J. G. Bourinot, and
one near the Mer Bleue at Eastman’s Springs. (Fletcher.)

This tree is abundant in Newfoundland and in every part of Canada,
except southern Ontario and the prairie region. It climbs highest on
the Shickshocks, in Gaspé, and creeps the closest of any of our conifers
to the cold waters of the Labrador coast and Arctic Sea. At its north-
ern and southern limit it nearly loses its tree form, becoming in the
north a bush, while in the south, in the deep swamps, it is little larger
than a hop-pole. From Lake Winnipeg, westward, it becomes a mag-
nificent tree, averaging from two to three feet in diameter and rising
to a height of eighty feet. North of the Saskatchewan and south of
Lakes Manitoba and Winnipegoosis, it covers large areas, while in the
Beaver and Athabasca valleys it is even larger, and descends the latter

stream to Lake Athabasca (Lat. 59°), still maintaining its fine propor-
tions. It is probably a mistake to give the habitat of this species and
the next as being coincident, and to extend the range of the next into
northern Labrador and the barren grounds west of Hudson Bay, as all
specimens of spruce obtained from Labrador and the far north are this
species. (Macoun.) Newtoundland, Nova Scotia and throughout
Canada to Lat. 65°, where it terminates with Betula papyracea.

This species is easily recognized and separated from the preceding
by the difference of the cones. In the former they are quite short, sel-
dom an inch long, and the scales are eroded and deep purple, even
when quite old. On the other hand, this species has narrow, drooping
cones, never under an inch in length, and the scales pale straw-color or
brown at maturity. Regarding the distribution, I can only say that
Sir John Richardson and Prof. Sargent assert that this species is really
the northern one, while I, on the other hand, hold the contrary opinion.
I have specimens from Hare: N.S., from Gaané from Nipigon, north
of Lake Superior, from various points on the prairie, and from the
foot-hills and lower slopes of the Rocky Mountains, but not one from
north of the Saskatchewan, except Dr. Dawson’s, from the Athabasca ;
all the specimens from that quarter and northern British Columbia
being most decidedly black spruce. In habit, this tree is totally dif.
ferent from P. nigra. While the latter loves damp localities, this
species prefers comparatively dry woods and is found mixed with pop-
lar, birch, and other trees. On the prairies, it is found on gand-hills
and dry slopes of river banks, and this being the case, it is not reason-
able to expect it to take to cold and damp localities in the north, when,
reasoning from the habits of others, we should expect it to affect even
drier situations. Time will settle all these points, but no reliance should
be placed on any statement not founded on examination of the fruit,
Without doubt, this species, ranges from Newfoundland, Anticosti,
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, through Quebec and Ontario, west-
ward to the forest limit of Manitoba. In the prairie region it is found
on the sand-hills bordering the first prairie,steppe. Occasional trees
are met with in the Saskatchewan valley, and in the ravines of the
470 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA.
Cypress Hills are numerous small groves. It ascends the Bow River
from Calgary, and becomes intermixed with P. Engelmanni at Silver
City, within the Rocky Mountains. (Macoun.) On the Athabasca in
Latitude 54° 7’ 34”, Longitude 118° 48". (Dawson.) Throughout Nova
Scotia and Canada, to within twenty miles of the Arctic Sea, and on

This species is first met with in the Bow River valley, on the line of
the Canadian Pacific Railway, about the Cascade Mountain, but does
not completely supersede P. alba until we pass Castle Mountain,
At Laggan and all points westward it is the only spruce, and at Kick-
ing Horse Lake'there are groves containing many fine trees. In the
Columbie valley and all valleys of the Selkirk Mountains, it grows to
a great size, often being four feet in diameter and having an average
height of over 150 feet. It is more a tree of the valleys than of the
mountains, seldom ascending above 6,000 feet. It is possible that
another species which we now refer to P. alba, belongs here. (Macoun.)
This tree appears to characterize the interior plateau and eastern
part of the Province of British Columbia, with the exception of the
dry southern portion of the former, and forms dense groves in the
mountains. It borders nearly all the streams and swamps in the
northern portion of British Columbia between about 2,500 and 3,500
feet elevation, and forms dense groves in the valleys of the Rocky
Mountains. In the north-eastern part of British Columbia, varieties
occur which, according to Prof. Engelmann, who has examined my
specimens, are indistinguishable from P. alba, and in some places in
the Peace River basin these varieties preponderate. Specimens col-
lected on the Peace River plateau (Lat. 55° 46’ 54”, Long. 120’, altitude
2,600 feet), are still referrable to P. Hngelmanni, but trees on the Atha-
basca (Lat. 54° 7’ 34’, Long. 118° 48’) belong to P. alba, The north-
ern and north-eastern range of Engelmann’s spruce is, therefore,
indeterminate. (Dawson.)

mit between the Coldwater and Coquihalla Rivers (3,280 feet) ; also
on the Nicolume, a few miles beyond the summit, between that stream
and the Sumallow, and on the west side of the Spioos, near the trail

of the Skeena and Babine Lake. (Dawson.)

(Macoun.) Its northern limit crosses the St. Lawrence a little below
Quebec, and passes thence to the north end of Lake Temiscamang,
on the Ottawa River, and from there to the eastern extremity of Lake

On the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway, this tree was noticed
furthest east in the valley of the Columbia, at Donald, but it is, no
doubt, abundant on the mountain slopes about 1,000 feet above the
river. Few of these trees are noticed along Beaver Creek valley, on
the line of the road, until Stony Creek is reached, at an altitude of
3,500 feet. Thence to the Selkirk summit scarcely any other tree
is seen, and ascending the mountain side above this line, anywhere
along Beaver: Creek, it is always met with. In the Selkirk Mountains
it is a tall, beautiful tree, over 150 feet high and often very large.
(Macoun.) The hemlock occurs everywhere in the vicinity of the
coast of British Columbia, and extends up the valley of the Fraser and
other rivers to the limit of the region of abundant rainfall. It re-ap-
pears in the Selkirk and Gold ranges, where sufficient moisture for its
growth is again found. The tree attains a large size on the coast,
reaching a height of 200 feet, and yields a good wood, but has not yet

been much used. On the Queen Charlotte Islands it is particularly
abundant and large. On the Salmon River, running into Dean Inlet,
it is not found in abundance beyond eighteen miles from the sea, at an
elevation of about 600 feet. It occurs again, however, sparingly, on
the lower part of the Iltasyouco River, a tributary of the last, within
the Coast Range. On the Homathco River, flowing into Bute Inlet, it
ceases at fifty-three miles from the sea, at an elevation of 2,320 feet.
On the Uz-tli-hoos (north-east branch of the Anderson, followed by the
trail from Bostou Bar to Nicola,) it extends to a point six to ten miles
east of the Fraser ; on the Coquihalla to the summit between that river
and the Coldwater. It is mentioned by Sir A. Mackenzie (Voyages,
p- 223) as occurring at the head-waters of the Parsnip (about Lat.
54° 30’). This is the most northern locality yet known. (Dawson.)

This tree is found on all parts of Vancouver Island, with the excep-
tion of the exposed western coast, but does not occur on the Queen
Charlotte Islands or coast archipelago to the north of Vancouver. On
the mainland, near the 49th parallel, it extends from the coast to the
Rocky Mountains, growing at a height of 6,000 feet in a stunted form:
It occurs on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains on the 49th
parallel, and is abundant in the foot-hills further north, and on the
Porcupine Hills. On the Bow River, it extends east to the vicinity of
Calgary. In thedry southern portion of the interior of British Columbia
itis generally confined to the higher uplands between the various
river valleys, northward it descends to the general level of the country.
CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN PLANTS. 473
It does not extend into the mountainous and comparatively humid
region of Cariboo, and is probably absent from the higher portions of
the Selkirk and Gold ranges generally. Its northern line is singularly
irregular. It is found about Fort George, and north-eastward as far as
McLeod’s Lake, but does not occur on the Parsnip. It extends about
halfway up Tacla Lake, and on Babine Lake to the bend or knee. A
few specimens occur on the Skeena River. It is common about
Frangois and Fraser lakes. It is found from the Fraser to the Coast
Range on the line of the Chilcotin and its tributaries, and occurs
on the Nazco and up the Blackwater to the mouth of the Iscultaesli,
but is absent from an extensive tract of country bounded by the last
named localities to the south and east, and extending northward to
Frangois Lake. It occurs abundantly on the coast of the mainland as
far north as the north end of Vancouver Island, but beyond that point
is found only on the shores of the inlets at some distance from the sea.
It is found on the upper part of Dean Inlet and on the Salmon River
which runs into this inlet, but at about forty-five miles from the salt-
water becomes small and stunted, and, as above stated, is not seen in
that part of the interior lying to the eastward. Its north-eastern limit
in the Rocky Mountain range is still somewhat uncertain. The best
grown specimens are found near the coast, in proximity to the waters
of the many bays and inlets which indent it. Here the tree frequently
surpasses eight feet in diameter, at a considerable height above the
ground, and reaches a height of 200 to 300 feet, forming prodigious
and dark forests. (Dawson.)

tawa and Steel Rivers, which form the Hayes River. From this point
it turns south-west and crosses the Nelson River at the outlet of Sipi-
wesk Lake. (R. Bell.) Both Dr. Bell and Professor Sargent give the
range of this tree to Lat. 65°, which is evidently a mistake, as Sir John
Richardson states its limit to be in Lat. 62°. Sir William Hooker, in
his Flora places the limit on the Saskatchewan, while we have found
it on the Athabasca River in Lat. 58°. (Macoun.)

Appears to take the place of A. grandis in the region east of the
Coast ranges in British Columbia. It is not found in the southern dry
portion of the interior plateau, but grows abundantly in the Gold and
Selkirk ranges, and in the Rocky Mountain region east of McLeod’s
Lake. Elsewhere in the northern portion of the interior plateau it
occurs in scattered groves, generally in localities nearly reaching or
surpassing 4,000 feet, but even in low valleys in the eastern portion of
the Coast ranges. It crosses the Rocky Mountains in the Peace River
district, and occurs in cold damp situations in the country between
Lesser Slave Lake and the Athabasca River. In high and cool valleys
in the Rocky Mountains, southward to the 49th parallel, reaching
upward to the timber-line. (Dawson.)

in his forthcoming work. Dr. Burgess reports all the specimens
collected at London as this form.

glabrous one which may be a distinct species on Castle Mountain, and
on the bed of a snow-slide at a small lake in the Rocky Mountains,
near Hector, and on the summit of the Selkirks. The specimens
collected at the three last mentioned places are rather pale flowered

referred to this species by Mr. Watson, but I cannot think they are
identical as our specimens do not agree with Nuttall’s description, as
given on page 192. (Torr. & Gray.) At page 675, these authors refer
S. multicaule to S. Drummondii, “as a less pubescent and glandular
variety.” Silene Drummondii is now Lychnis Drummondii, and I confess
my examinations place our form with the latter genus. (Macoun.)

There is no doubt but that much of the S. longifolia of Nova Scotia,
New Brunswick and Quebec is this species and collectors should try
to separate them. The present species is a larger and coarser plant
than S. longifolia, has rough seeds and ciliate scales. It is certainly a
native. .

Serano Watson, Esq., the able curator of Dr. Gray’s Herbariums at
Harvard, Mass., has lately published a “ History and Revision of the
Roses of North America,” and this necessitates additional notes and
corrections in our notice of this genusin Part I.
(660.) R. Carolina, Linn. This species and the next have fre-
quently been confounded, but they are easily separated by their leaves,
and stipules, this species having “leaflets finely many toothed,” while
in the next they are “ coarsely toothed.” None of our eastern speci-
mens are of this species, but all belong to the next. We have it only
from Ontario, and Mr. Watson quotes it from Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick on my authority, which he clearly shows to be incorrect.
