BY JOHN MACOUN, M.A., FLS, FRSC, Naturalist to the Geological and Natural History Survey of Canada. Montreal : DAWSON BROTHERS. 1888. PREFACH. PART IV. The first volume of this Catalogue of Canadian Plants consists of three parts separately published and bearing date 1883, 1884 and 1886 ‘respectively. Part I. includes the Polypetale, Part II. the Gamopetale, Part III. the Apetale and Gymnosperms. Part IV., now issued, is devoted to the Endogens, and forms the first portion of Volume II. of the Catalogue. Part V. will include the ferns and their allies with the mosses and liverworts, and it is intended in Part VI. to catalogue the lichens, fungi and seaweeds. Over 2,000 species of named cryptogamous plants, to be catalogued in Parts V. and VL, are now in the herbarium, and it is probable that the number will be raised to 2,500 before these parts are published, so that the entire work will enumerate about 5,500 species of plants (indigenous and introduced) found growing without cultivation within the limits of Canada. Since the publication of Part III. extensive collections have been made by James M. Macoun on the shores and islands of James Bay. Dr. G. M. Dawson has made valuable and interesting notes and collections in that part of the North-West Territories bordering on Alaska. The writer spent five months collecting on Vancouverlsland and gathered much valuable information regarding its flora, That part of this addi- tional information which is applicable to the Endogens is included in the present issue. In accordance with the plan adopted at the commencement of the work, I have placed myself in communication with specialists in the various orders and have had their assistance in the determining and verifying of critical or new species. As on former occasions, Dr. Sereno Watson has rendered valuable assistance, especially in the Liliacew and Juncacee. Inthe Naiadacee I have had very much help from Mr, Arthur Bennett, F.LS., Croydon, England, and from Rev. Thomas Morong, Ashland, Mass. These gentlemen, by examination and comparison of authentic Ir PREFACE. specimens, have enabled me to give a very satisfactory account of our River-weeds. W. H. Beeby, A.L.S., London, England, and Mr. Morong have contributed critical notes on the Spargania of ‘Canada, Mr. Beeby having sent my specimens to Norway in order that our northern forms might be compared with Scandinavian types. The genus Carex, as was to be expected, gave rise to many perplex- ing questions. Besides availing myself of Prof. L. H. Bailey’s mono- graph of the genus, I sent him many specimens of critical species, and have embodied in the text his remarks and occasionally his descriptions of new species and varieties, While not agreeing with him in every particular, his determinations have generally been ac- cepted as conclusive. Mr. Bennet has rendered invaluable assistance, and besides comparing my specimens with those in his own herbarium has transmitted them to Kew and to Scandinavian specialists for com- parison with the types. From his remarks it is quite evident that the correct nomenclature of our northern carices is not yet settled, To the veteran botanist, Dr. Vasey, of the Agricultural Department at Washington, I am deeply indebted. For many years he has examined critical species and confirmed my determinations of the Graminez from all parts of Canada. All the species in this order are named in accordance with his catalogues, and in every case his de- ‘cision has been taken as final. In arranging the orders and genera I have followed Bentham & Hooker’s Genera Plantarum, and the authority for the genus, as given by them, I have accepted. The preparation of this portion of the Catalogue has entailed much labour, on my part, and though conscious that the results accomplished are far from perfect, I would ask the indulgent criticisms of botanists who can well appreciate the difficul- ties of the work.

The description of the variety, however, corresponds “ leaves longer,” (than the type) flaccid, the upper flower- ing ones opposite and spatulate, the whole surface of the leaf with a pretty chain-like areolation.” JI am sure that your plant meets this description, and when compared as to the floating leaves the specimens agree.

This species is distinguished by its erect and thick rusty head, and very large and comparitively firm brown perigynium. (Bailey.) Taking the above view of the species, Prof. Bailey refers our specimens. to C. pratensis, Drej., yet Mr. Arthur Bennett, of Croydon, England, assures me that our specimens are identical with those in Boott’s her-. barium. It is certain that Boott’s figure in Hooker’s Flora Boreali Americana, is different in appearance from our specimens, and it is probable that Boott has figured a young plant of one species and retains a well grown one of another under the same name in his. herbarium. Owing to the place of growth, and the absence of all boreal surroundings, I am of opinion that our prairie specimens are. not C. pratensis, whatever else they may be, but place them there because I can do no better. Fine specimens with stout culms and well developed spikelets forming a fairly compact head, were gathered at. Cedar Hill, Vancouver Island. These are referred to C. Liddoni by both Lange and Bailey. (Macoun.) (2566.) C. pratensis, Drejer, Rev. Crit. Car. Bor., 24, (1841.) Specimens that we refer here were collected on sand on the east. coast of Lake Superior, above Michipicotin, in the summer of 1869, and named C. Liddoni by Prof. Dewey, of Rochester. From the remarks of Prof. Bailey, I am inclined to believe that they belong here. The spikelets are very much narrowed at the base, and in some instances the lower ones become compound. Specimens of this form can be seen in Prof. Dewey’s herbarium. (Macoun.) Pic River, Lake Superior (Loring.) Middle Bay, Labrador. (Allen.) Greenland. (Lange.) Moose Mountain Creek and westward on the Souris Plain, Assiniboia.. (J. M. Macoun.) Very abundant on the open prairie, and in thickets. throughout Manitoba and westward to the Rocky Mountains. I have often seen many acres covered with the tufts of this species, and admired the silvery hue and nodding habit of the spikes. Rather common in the lower valleys of the Rocky Mountains and in the- Columbia Valley, at Donald, B.C.; along the Nachacco River, British Columbia, and not uncommon at Goldstream, Cedar Hill, and through- out southern Vancouver Island. (Macoun.) Since the notes on C. Liddoni and C. pratensis were written, I have. had a report from Prof. John Lange, author of “Conspectus Flore Greenlandice.” He says that the specimens from Michipicotin, Lake Superior, and the Nachacco River, B.C., are the same and seem to be in- termediate between C. scoparia, Schk., and C. pratensis, Drejer. The specimens from the prairie are the same as those of Coulter’s Manual, referred to C. pratensis, Drejer., by Bailey.. The Vancouver Island. CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN PLANTS. 129 specimens he does not know, but thinks they are different from both C. scoparia and C. pratensis. Of these he says: “Mihi ignota; forsan forma (. scoparia ; differt a C. pratensi, foliis brevioribus magisque scabris, spicis magis approximatis, squamis atrofuscis, &c.’”—Feb. 16, 1888, Joh. Lange. From the above it is evident that these forms are included in the specimens referred to C. pratensis, but we must wait for more light before finally deciding. (2567.) C. adusta, Boott, Hook., Fl.

CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN PLANTS: 145 A remarkable form of this species grows at Campbellford, Northum-. berland Co., Ont. As usual, it grows in large clumps about three feet high, but instead of the spikes being sessile, they are peduncled, or have scattered perigynia for nearly half their length, which is often from three to four inches. The sheaths are scarcely fibrilose, and many of the perigynia are abortive. I conclude from these characters that it is ahybrid between C. aquatilis and C. stricta. Var. decora,. Bailey, Coult. Bot. Gaz. XIII., 85. C. aperta, Carey, Gray, Man. Ed. V., 582, (1868.) Usually smaller and more slender than the species, the basal sheaths not fibrilose; spikes short (seldom over an inch long), sessile or nearly so, very rarely attenuated at the base, spreading; bracts usually con- spicuously spreading ; scales very sharp, spreading, longer than the perigynia. (Bailey.) A very obscure species and evidently not the one figured by Boott. I agree with Prof. Bailey in doubting the accuracy of the eastern C. aperta. My specimens, though named by Dewey and Olney, appear to be (. stricta, var. strictior, Carey; Gray, Man. V., 583, (1868.) (Macoun.)

The specimens were growing in large patches between tides in the bed of Qualicum River, Vancouver Island They were generally covered with water to the height of a foot or more at high tide. I cannot believe that ¢his isa form of C. salina, as it is quite distinct from that species in general appearance, but leave it with Prof. Bailey to settle it. Colleeted July 29, 1887. (Macoun.) Since the above was in type, I have received further information regarding this form from Mr, Arthur Bennett, F.L.S., Croyden, Eng-* land. The specimens sent to him were forwarded to Kew, and were examined by Mr. C. B. Clarke, who could not match them in Kew herbarium, but suggested C. pulla, Good., as a possibility. Later examinations seem to convince Mr. Clarke that this is C. physocarpa, Presl, Reliq. Henk. I., 205. Mr. Bennett thinks, on the other hand, that if Kunth represents correctly Presl’s plant, he cannot agree with him, and says, “if this is not C. physocarpa, then it is a new species so far as we have material at Kew to go upon, for which I pro- pose the name C. Macounii (non Dewey Sill. Journ.) characterized by its extremely (almost wanting) short beak to the perigynia with a smaller base, semi-inflated nerved fruits much shorter than the glumes.” (2609.) ©. ambusta, Boott, Ill. 64.

C. arctata x flexilis, Bailey. C. Knieskernti, Dew. Sill. Journ. 2d. Ser. IT., 247, (1846.) I agree with Prof. Bailey in believing that this is a hybrid between C. arctata and C. flexilis. Where I gathered the specimens at Kaka- beka Falls, on the Kaministiqua, thirty miles from Fort William, Lake Superior, both of these species were found growing in profusion. Specimens of C. flexilis, sent from Tobique Lake, N.B., by Wetmore, contained a fine clump of C. Knieskernii.

(?) miliaris, but on the pre- coding page he evidently places the same specimens under this species. In the latter case I agree with him, as the Maine specimens are over two feet in height. He says, speaking of var. (?) milliaris: “very slender, six to sixteen inches high,” which cuts out the Maine (immature) specimens altogether, and, in my opinion, Prof. Fowler’s New Brunswick specimens also. It is just possible that C. pulla, ‘Gray, Man. 602, and C. Raeana, are the same, and my tall Anticosti ‘specimens of C. rotundata, and Prof. Porter’s specimens from Maine, are C. miliaris, Michx. Specimens collected at Lake Mistassini, by Mr. J. M. Macoun, would also come in with C. miliaris. As it was at Lake Mistassini that Michaux ‘obtained the specimens on which he founded ‘the species, our view of the case may be the correct one.

Dr. Gray and Prof. Bailey place C. mirata, Dewey, under this variety, but I think they are in error, as it has not the characters which separate this form from the species, but rather those of variety imberbis. I believe, however, it is a distinct variety. An examination of Prof. Dewey’s Herbarium will decide this, as he had many speci- mens of it, collected by myself at Belleville, Ont., over twenty years ago. Indeed, the probabilities are that both C. Bella-villa and C. mirata equal C. livida, var. divergens, Bailey. (2689.) ©. Alaskana, Beckeler, Engler’s Bot. Jahrb. VIL, Pt. IIL, 277, (1886.) Alaska.

This is a very distinct form and seems to be closely related to C. sylvatica, but differs from that species in growing on mountains and in wet places. It approaches C. oligosperma in having its leaflets almost petioled. The specimens hitherto referred to C. hirsuta var. sylvatica, and collected in the Rocky and Selkirk mountains, belong here. Com- mon on the wet slopes of Mount Queest and other high mountains in the Gold Range, near Griffin Lake, B.C., altitude 6000-7000 feet. (Macoun.) Another form near the coast at Burrard Inlet has also been referred to C. hirsuta, var. sylvatica, but it cannot be that species as it differs in many minor points besides growing in wet ditches.

Dr. Britton says of this species:—‘So far as I have observed, its habitat is on rocky banks in more or less shaded woodlands; that of C. hirsuta being either actually in the water or in very moist situations, It appears to be a smaller plant than C. hirsuta, with a decidedly flexuous stem, the leaves smaller and with narrower divisions.” Our knowledge of this species agrees exactly with that of Dr. Britton, and we have no hesitation in changing the names as above. Our specimens are from “dry rocks,” close to Shannonville Station on the G.T.R., Hastings Co., Ont., 1864; and Island Portage, Dawson Route west of Lake Superior, 1872. (dMacoun.) + 767.

It would pass in the east for S, salictfolia, as it has a large branching panicle, white flowers, and long exserted stamens. So far S. salicifolia has not been found west of the Rocky Mountains, but is reported from the far north. {58. PHYSOCARPUS. (Weillia.) (584.) P. opulifoliuis, Maxim. ; Gray, Man., ed. VI., 153.

Since the publication of Part III., the question has been raised whether R. Brown’s Q. Jacobi is a good species or not. In August, 1887, I collected fine specimens of the oak on Sir James Douglas’s lawn in Victoria, Vancouver Island, upon which Mr. Brown founded his species. Part of these specimens were submitted to Professor Sargent, and by him referred to Q. Garryana. I had collected specimens of the oak on other parts of the island, and could see no difference between them, so I fully agreed with Prof. Sargent that Mr. Brown’s species could not stand. In March last (1890), Rev. EH. L. Greene, Berkeley, Cal., asked me to send him specimens of the Vancouver Island Oak. I did so; and he 356 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA, writes that all the specimens sent ere Quercus Jacobi, R. Brown, and quite distinct from the Oregon Q. Garryana. It is therefore probable that the Vancouver Island Oak will become Q. Jacobi, instead of Q. Garryana., 1993. . stellata, Wang.; Gray, Man., ed.

P. nigra, Link.; Macoun, Cat. IIL, 468. Since the publication of Part IIL, we have made extensive collections in Prince Edward Island, and having observed the so-called species, P. nigra and P. rubra, growing together, we are satisfied that they are distinct cnough to be separated as u specics and variety. In Gray, Man., ed. VI., 492, P. rubra is admitted as a variety, and we now write it as :— Var. rubra, Engel.; Gardn. Chron, (N.S.), XL, 1879. Differs from the species in having darker and larger leaves; larger, bright red-brown cones, which are more readily deciduous after maturity. (Hngelm.) It is more than probable that in the far North- west we have a species or variety that is also distinct from the typical eastern P. nigra. This form has large ovoid cones, which are deep purple, and without the brownish tint of those from the east. 567. TSUCA. (2088.) T. Pattoniana, Engelm; Macoun, Cat. III., 472.

A plant provisionally referred here is spoken of by Mr, Bennett, as below :— “Your plant (No. 21) is like a specimen from Silesia, in Prussia, named ‘P. natans var. prolixus, Koch, == P. serotinus, Shrad., but your plant has the leaves narrower, and larger, and the stipules shorter, and must be studied and described later. A further ex- “amination of your specimens shows them to be much like a plant in Wallich’s herb. from India, named ‘ P. didymus, Wall., Napalia, 1821 ;’ but there is no fruit on his specimen. This, anyhow, seems to fall under P. fluitans a3 an aggregate species. After a good deal of com- paring with all the nafans group, [I can come to no other result than 370 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. that this (No. 21) is a form of P. lonchites, Tuckerman. The only actual difference is the shining lower leaves, but this and its peculiar yellow-brown colour may be produced by some local influence? But the stipules of your plant at once remove it from any form of P. lucens (P. longifolius, Gaudichaudi, &c.) Is the difference enough to call it a form?” (Bennett, Letter, March 3rd, 1890.) (2437.) P. heterophyllus, Schreb.; Gray, Man. VI., 561. P. gramineus and var. heterophyllus, Macoun, Cat. IV., 84. Both Mr. Bennett and Mr. Morong combine these, and prefer Schreber’s name, as it is specific and well understood. (2439.) P. Zizii, Roth. (not Mertens & Koch.) Mr. Bennett writes that Mertens & Koch published this as a variety, not as a species. Roth was the first to do this. It is not improbable that it has a prior name: P. angustifolia, Presl.

Macoun collected on Methy Portage many specimens of both C. oliogosperma and ©. monile. Prof. Bailey in Mem. Torr. Bot. Club, Vol. I, 39, makes C. Raeana a variety of C. monile. It is very probable that Boott had young specimens of C. oligosperma and C. monile before him when he characterized the species he named C. Raeana. The description of Prof. Bailey combines the spikes of C. monile and the leaves of C. oligosperma, and the compound is Boott’s C. Raeana. Prof. Bailey writes me that “The type of C. Raeana, in Herb. Boott, is clearly different from C. oligosperma.” Whatever it is there is no evidence that it is a good species, and may be, as I state above a com- pound of C. monile and C. oligosperma.

CATALOGUE OF CANADIAN PLANTS. 387 Below is Prof. Bailey’s arrangement of the species, and I agree with his remark that “whatever future observers may decide as to the merits of the varieties I propose, the disposition suggested cannot fail to make the species better known.” My difficulties are all cleared away by the arrangement, but var. major may be Michaux’s type. “Culm very slender but erect (12 to 18 in. high), smooth or slightly rough above on the angles; leaves narrow, often almost filiform, rough on the edges, mostly shorter than the culm; staminate spikes one or two, elevated an inch or more from the upper pistillate spike, very narrow, an inch or leas long; pistillate spikes one to three, the upper one sessile and the lower very short-stalled, small (? in. or less long), the lowest subtended by a bract which usually exceeds it; perigynium very small, broadly or round-ovate or ovate-oblong; thin but firm in texture, bearing a nerve upon either angle, but otherwise nerveless or sometimes bearing a few very faint nerves near the base, rounded into a very short and terete beak which is either entire or somewhat erose ; pistillate scales brown, lance-ovate, ending in a sharp whitish tip which nearly or quite equals the perigynium.” Island in the Saguenay River, near Lake St. John, Que.

IV., 227. Of this Prof. Scribner writes—“I have in my herbarium no P. subaristata. Your grass is the same as 631 Tweedy (1885 Yellowstone Park Coll.) which I referred doubtfully to Poa andina, Nutt. I col- lected in Montana exactly the same form. Nuttall never published his Poa andina. I have never seen and do not know Poa andina, Trin. Your grass belongs to a section of the genus not well under- stood, and one represented by many forms in the Rocky Mountains. The grass you sent me ticketed Poa andina, Nutt., var purpurea, Vasey, is like the type of Poa andina, Nutt., in Nuttall’s writing in herb. Phila. Acad. Nat.
