well established in cold spring)' ground bordering a streamlet 

 that crosses the road at Kingsmere and flows down toward the 

 Gatineau through a wooded ravine. Occasional specimens 

 occurred along the stream for about a mile. As to this plant 

 being indigenous, or introduced, in the East is uncertain and at 

 Kingsmere it may have become established by garden escapes or 

 seeds carried down by the brooklet, which flows by a couple of 

 farms. The species is native to British Columbia, and Macoun 

 in his Catalogue of Canadian Plants, vol. 1, p. 358, says of it: 

 "Certainly a garden escape in N.B." Britton & Brown, in 

 recording eastern occurrences give them as "Adventive from the 

 Pacific Coast." Gray's Manual gives it as found in "Damp 

 soil, especially by cold streams, Newfoundland to Michigan; 

 abundant in the Rocky Mountains, whence perhaps introduced." 

 The Kingsmere plants were still growing and blooming last 

 summer, although they had been much destroyed by the trampling 

 of cattle around the water. Specimens collected September 20, 

 1908, and July 4, 1909 . 



Gratiola aurea Muhl. Golden Hedge Hyssop. 



Rather abundant on muddy shore, among rocks, on point in 

 Ottawa river, near Deschenes, P.Q., August 26, 1905. On river 

 shore, Hull, near C.P.R. bridge, August, 1908. 



Veronica arvensis L. Corn Speed well. 



Specimens from Fletcher are labelled "Roadside, Gilmour's 

 Grove, Chelsea, P.Q., June 8, 1901." Mine were collected on 

 drv rockv ground about half-way between Fairv Lake and Hull, 

 June 6, 1909. 



Lonicera caeridea L. \ar. villosa (Michx.) T. & G. Mountain Fly 

 Honeysuckle. 



In spruce woods bordering the peat swamp, Mere Bleue, 

 Carlsbad Springs, Ont , on July 18, 1905, with ripe fruit. A 

 shrubby plant with lightly pubescent twigs; leaves oblong and 

 thickish; twin fruits coalescent into one large blue berry, stated 

 in Gray's Manual to be edible. 



Lonicera oblongifolia (Goldie. ) Hook. Swamp Fly Honeysuckle. 



Recorded in Flora Ottawaensis from "Peat Bog, Mere 

 Blue. Rare." It grew, however, nearer home, as I found it in 

 fruit in Dow's Swamp on June 24, 1905. The leaves are broadly 

 oval or oblong with a bluish tint; fruit small, purplish, coalescent 

 or semi-coalescent. 



Triosteum perfoliatum L. Feverwort. Horse Gentian. Tinker's Weed. 



My search for this plant was void until it was found in 



fruit on October 3, 1909, at Kingsmere. Flowering examples 



were taken June 19, 1910, in the same locality. The plant is of 



coarse growth, with much of the appearance of a milkweed. The
