Maine and adjacent New Brunswick, on the highest of the Adirondacks, 
and on several lesser mountains of New England and New Bruns- 
wick not here enumerated. 
Furthermore, at the exposed summits of Mt. Mansfield and of 
Camel’s Hump in Vermont, where the distinctive plants of Smuggler’s 
Notch are mostly unknown, the following alpine and subalpine plants 
are found:

Of these 32 alpine and subalpine plants of the high summit-areas 
of the Green Mountains, plants which are quite different from the 
distinctive species of the Smuggler's Notch cliffs, 29 are common 
species of Mt. Washington, Katahdin, and Table-top Mountain; 
and the remaining 3, although as yet unknown from Table-top, are 
familiar plants of Mt. Washington and others of the White Mountains, 
of Katahdin, and even of some of the minor mountains of Maine. 
As already remarked, the characteristic plants of the great tableland 
of Mt. Albert are, so far as known, unique in our flora; and, judging 
from our very limited knowledge of certain botanically unexplored 
mountains it is possible that upon them still other alpine or subalpine 
floras exist. Nevertheless, admitting that there are still highly promis- 
ing mountains and cliffs within our boundaries whose plants are quite 
unknown to us, we already have sufficient data to point out three very
