 ** BETULA CAERULEA-GRANDIS Blanchard, Betula, i. no. 1 (May 7, 
1904). B. caerulea, var. grandis Blanchard in Vermont Phoenix 
for May 13, 1904 and Betula, i. no. 2 (May 13, 1904). B. caerulea, 
var. Blanchardi Sargent, Man. Trees N. A. 202, fig. 168 A (1905).— 
A characteristic tree in portions of Nova Scotia; probably of wide 
distribution. Harrax Co.: wooded roadside, Armdale (Dutch 
Village). LUNENBURG Co.: roadside thickets and banks of Lahave 
River, Bridgewater. 
B. caerulea-grandis is an abundant and characteristic tree in some 
parts of Prince Edward Island, especially in the forests of Queens 
County where, in the outskirts of Charlottetown and in the dry woods 
along Brackley Point Road, it forms very extensive groves with the 
stature and bark of B. papyrifera but at once recognized by the high- 
ly lustrous blue-green upper surfaces of the leaves. Upon examina- 
tion these are found to be quite glabrous as are the young branchlets. 
The fruiting aments strongly resemble those of B. papyrifera. B. 
caerulea-grandis, besides occurring as a characteristic tree on Prince 
Edward Island and in Nova Scotia, is found thence to the Gaspé 
Peninsula and the region of Quebec, and south to eastern and 
central Maine, northern New Hampshire and the Green Mountains 
of Vermont. It is the tree of eastern America, incorrectly called by 
me! in earlier publications B. pendula Roth and B. pendula var. 
japonica Rehder. Besides Blanchard's Vermont material and the 
Nova Scotia collections above cited the following are characteristic.
