SOME NOTEWORTHY PLANTS FROM THE ISLANDS AND 
COAST OF MAINE. 
ARTHUR H. NORTON. 
Dunrıne the last dozen years the writer has had frequent occasion 
to visit many of the outermost islands of Maine between Eastport and 
Saco Bay, and various harbors and other inlets of the coast. Many 
of these places, unimportant and probably not destined to receive 
attention from botanists for years to come, have furnished one or 
more rare or otherwise interesting plants. A number of the raost 
interesting plants, seeming sufficiently isolated or having their distri- 
bution sufficiently covered, are here mentioned. It should be stated 
that the journeys to these islands have had non botanical objects in 
view, and many of the landings have been made when long distances 
were still to be covered, or when heavy seas or fog were threatening 
and time was at a premium. Under these conditions only the more 
conspicuous plants have fallen under observation. Some of these 
afford ample material for interesting generalizations, which however, 
must be omitted for the present. The notes are based primarily 
upon the writer's observations but additional records from the Gray 
Herbarium and the herbarium of the New England Botanical Club 
have been furnished by Professor Fernald. 
PINUS BANKSIANA Lam. Attention has been called to the abun- 
dance of this pine at Schoodic Peninsula.! It remains to be said that it 
extends to the southeastern limits of the town of Gouldsborough,
