1922] Fernald,—Notes on the Flora of Nova Scotia 175 
A. STOLONIFERA, var. LUCIDA Fernald, RHopora, xxiii. 267 (1922). 
Additional stations in Yarmouth, Shelburne and Lunenburg Cos. 
A. LAEVIS Willd., var. NrribDA (Wiegand) Fernald, RHODORA, 
xxiii. 267 (1922). Many stations from Yarmouth Co. to Halifax Co. 
*POTENTILLA PUMILA Poir. LUNENBURG Co.: abundant in dry 
open soil and at borders of pine woods about Bridgewater; first east 
of the lower Penobscot. Previously known in Canada only from 
southern Ontario.—J. M. Macoun, Ott. Nat. xvi. 214 (1903). 
*Filipendula rubra (Hill) Robinson. Damp roadside-thicket, 
Yarmouth. 
** RUBUS oDonATUS L. var. malachophyllus, n. var. foliis utrinque 
densissime pilosis vel subvelutinis supra juventate et subtus ad nervos 
atro-glandulosis. 
Leaves densely pilose or almost velvety on both surfaces, the upper 
surfaces of the young and the nerves beneath black-glandular.— 
Nova Scotia: thicket, Belleville, Yarmouth Co., July 23, 1921, 
Fernald, Bartram & Long, no. 23,974 (TYPE in Gray Herb.). 
Typical Rubus odoratus has the leaves nearly or often quite glabrous 
on the upper surfaces and only sparingly pubescent on the nerves 
beneath, and only rarely in the typical continental plant do glands 
occur upon the leaf-surfaces. Lindsay records R. odoratus as “ cult’ed 
at Annaplolils., pos’bly fm. w[ild] plants.” 
**R. illecebrosus Focke, Abh. Nat. Ver. Bremen, xvi. 278 (1899).— 
An ornamental garden plant from Japan, tending to spread from 
cultivation at Annapolis Royal. 
R. ALLEGHENIENSIS Porter. Much of the Nova Scotia shrub is 
uncharacteristic, having comparatively short and leafy-bracted 
racemes, and subglobose berries with coarse drupelets of inferior 
flavor. This may prove to be separable from R. allegheniensis. 
R. GrANDICAULIS Blanchard. The typical form of the species 
collected in Hants Co.: gravelly thicket near Uniacke Lake. 
R. AMNICOLA Blanchard. YaARgMovTH Co.: thickets and clearings 
bordering savannah along South Branch of Tusket River, Quinan; high- 
arching shrubs, very prolific, bearing fruit of the richest quality. 
Should be cultivated. 
R. muttirormis Blanchard. Many additional stations, especially 
in Shelburne Co., where this low-arching or trailing species is charac- 
teristic of boggy thickets and river- and lake-margins. 
R. BirormMispinus Blanchard. One of the most characteristic | 
coarse trailers of the sandy roadsides and railroad embankments in 
southern. Yarmouth and Shelburne Cos. The lustrous foliage of 
darkest green is very handsome and the stout sprawling canes are 
often nearly 1 cm. in diameter; fruit inferior. 
R. ngECURVANS Blanchard. Frequent from Yarmouth Co. to 
Lunenburg Co. Where well developed, as about Gavelton or in 
thickets by Ogden Lake, furnishing the choicest blackberries in the 
province.
