CATALOGUE

OF THE

Flora of Vancouver and Queen Charlotte Islands.

INTRODUCTION.

A Flora is a botanical account of the plants of a country or district, with the
orders or families systematicallj'- arranged under the classes, the genera under the
orders, and the species (when there are more than one) under the genus to which
they belong.

Of late years there has been a great awakening in the study of the flowering
plants of this Province; many inquiries are made as to the names of the more
popular plants and as to where their descriptions can be found. To meet these
demands the Provincial Museum undertook to add greatly to the Herbarium, and
received unbounded support from many persons who were very much interested in
this branch of natural history. More and more people are beginning to realize the
pleasure and profit that can be gained fi'om the observation of the plants growing
around us, observing their beauty, and acquiring a knowledge which greatly increases
an appreciation of nature.

Botanical biology teaches us the study of plants cannot be overlooked. The
very existence of the animal kingdom is solely dependent on vegetable life; the
great problems of geographical distribution; the theory of organic evolution or
the innermost secrets of vital phenomena, whether in health or disease, are simplified
by the study of plants. Botany and zoology are dependent on each other, without
one the other would cease to exist. It is a study which cannot be indefinitely post-
poned, as the old terrestrial order is fast passing away before our eyes; everywhere
the primitive vegetation is disappearing as more and more of the earth's surface is
brought under cultivation and our forests are denuded of their original growth.
Much work has been done, and still greater is the work which has yet to be
accomplished.

This list will, without doul)t. give some idea of the many species which are to
be found on Vancouver and Queen Charlotte Islands, giving known locations in
which they have been collected. The scientific or Latin name Is giveii first, followed
by the English or popular name, those plants that have been introduced being printed
in italic letters.

Recognizing the works and writings of our earliest botanists and biologists, the
nomenclature is according to Gray's Manual wherever possible, and many other
works have been consulted in connection with our western species, such as the
"Flora BorcaU-Americana,'' by Hooker; "Flora of the North-west Coast," by
Piper and Beattie; "Illustrated Flora of the Northern States and Canada," by
Brittou and Brown; "Flora of Southern British Columbia," by J. K. Henry;
" Flora of the Rocky Mountains and Adjacent Plains," by P. A. Rydberg. Ph.D. ;
and other botanical works.

The late Mr. J. M. Maconn announced in the early part of the year 1913 that
he had the manuscript for a "Flora of Vancouver Island" almost ready for the
press,* and that it would embody the I'esults of several years' work by himself.
Professor Macouu, and Mr. Spreadborough in various parts of Vancouver and the
Queen Charlotte Islands. For reasons of ill-health and cramped quarters after

the Are at the Parliament Bnilclings at Ottawa, his intentions were not fultilled,
although he often spoke of the urgent necessity of such a work.

After the presentation to the Provincial Museum of the collection of Vancouver
Island plants made by I'rofessor Macoun, of which partial lists have been printed in
our Annual Reports,* both father and son pointed out the desirability of publishing
a catalogue of the flowering plants of Vancouver Island and the Queen Charlotte
Group, to be based upon Professor Macoun's " Catalogue of Canadian Plants " and
on Mr. J. M. Macoun's notes on new species and additions as published from time
to time in the " Canadian Record of Science " and the " Ottawa Naturalist."

They promised full co-operation in order to revise the old nomenclature and
bring it into conformity with the usage of the Gray Herbarium of Harvard University,
an institution from which they had always had most valuable assistance in cases of
doubtful identity of species.

Mr. J. M. Macoun also undertook to supply full information as to unrecorded
si>ecies collected during the last few years, so that the catalogue might be as full
as possible.

Soon after the work was under way the world became the poorer by the loss
of both of the Macouns. It will be impossible, therefore, to make such a complete
list as anticipated, and the compilers are fully aware that it must contain many
errors both of omission and commission.

In spite of this, it is hoped that it may prove to be useful as a basis for future
workers to build on.

The bulk of this information has been compiled in the Department by Mr. W. R.
Carter, who has done considerable collecting on Vancouver Island. He has been
greatly assisted by Dr. C. F. Newcombe, who has supplied a great amount of
information in regard to the Flora of both Vancouver and the Queen Charlotte
Islands, as his connection with anthropological research in the Province has carried
him to many points, especially on the west coast, that would not probably be visited
by the ordinary botanist. Dr. Newcombe also put at the disposal of the Department
his rare botanical library wliich has been the means of supplying much data and
information not otherwise obtainable.

Tbe thanlis of the Department are also due, for information, records, and
specimens, to Dr. C. F. Newcombe; the late Professor Macoun; the late J. M.
Macoun, C.M.G., Chief of the Biological Division of the Geological Survey, Ottawa ;
Mr. W. B. Anderson ; Mr. J. R. Anderson ; Professor J. K. Henry ; Mr. W. A. New-
combe; and others, whose kindness is gratefully acknowledged. .
