Some Further Notes on the Flora of the Rangeley Lakes. 



I have been especially Interested in Mr. Johnson's note: 



on 



the flora of the Rangeley Lake region published in the October 

 number of the Bulletin, because some years ago T spent the 

 month of September in one of the camps on Lake Molechunk- 

 amunk, — the same lake on which his camp was placed. Our 

 observations were made therefore n\ much the same ree^ion, but 

 at different seasons of the year, so perhaps on this account a few 

 notes of the plants I observed may be a fitting supplement to his 

 statements. 



I was too late for grasses, sedges, and orchids, and on my list 

 therefore I hnd few species, if any, noted. For some reason or 

 other the ferns seem to have been neglected in my collections, 



nson suggests. I 



perhaps because not abundant, as Mr. Johnson 



find six species of Lycopodium, however, fully as many as 



could be expected. 



In addition to the Ranunculacese mentioned I may name 



Clematis Virghiiaiia; 



polygaimim; Copt. 



ifolia 



Actcua spicata 



7'iibra, and A. alba. The three species last 



named were not uncommon in the deep woods. 



Two species belonging to the Scropulariacea^ — Chclonc glabra 

 and Vero7iica scutcllata — and four indigenous species of Labiatae 



Mentha Canadensis, 



pus Virginicjis, Scutellaria lateri- 



flora, and Brnnella vulgaris—w^r^ all I found belonging to these 

 families. Thoreau, if I remember rightly, speaks of the monkey- 

 flower {JMimnliis ringens) as abundant throughout this region, 

 but I saw no trace of it. These two families therefore seem 



poorly represented, as Mr. Joh 



Like him, I found 



no indigenous species of Lcguminos.nc. I found the Liliacca^, the 

 Polygonacese, the RosacCcX, the Ericaceae and the Compositac all 



Of the Liliaceae, 

 the two species of 



Li Hum Cana- 



fairly represented for a woodland region.
