L. oblongifolia, Muehl. In a small swamp 4 miles past Cassel- 

 man on the right hand side of the railway, there are hundreds of bushes 

 of this pretty honeysuckle. The bushes are about three feet high, oval 

 and symmetrical in shape. The long pedicelled flowers, which distinguish 

 this from the last species, open early in June and are followed by the 

 two purple, nearly distinct berries in July. 



Senecio aureus, L. var. Balsamuve T. & G. Specimens of this 

 variety were collected by Mr. Cowley near the old Bristol wharf up the 

 Ottawa, growing below high water mark in crevices of limestone rocks. 



Artemisia Canadensis, Michx. This interesting addition to our 

 local flora was made by Mr. W. E. Saunders, who found it growing on 

 the rocks below the Hog's Back. It has also been found at Mermaid 

 Mountain, Wakefield, by Mr. R. B. Whyte. 



Lactuca Scariola, L. The Prickly Lettuce, an introduced plant, 

 was found by Mr. Fletcher along the Canada Atlantic Ry. near 

 Stewarton and good specimens were secured. 



Physalis Virginiana, Mill. On a few sandy knolls in a meadow 

 at Clarendon Mr. Cowley found some vigorous colonies of this plant. 

 There were mature fruit and fresh blossoms on the same specimens 

 although the plants had been cut down by the mowers only a few weeks 

 previously. 



Lophanthus nepetoides, Benth. This is a rare plant here, so 

 far having only been found at Casselman ; good specimens were 

 collected this year by Mr. Scott. 



Amarantus blitoides, Watson. Found at the side of the road 

 which leads from Rockciiffe to Hemlock Lake by Mr. Scott. (Sep. 3). 

 This species had evidently been overlooked by less wide-awake col- 

 lectors than Mr. Scott. It has much the appearance of the prostrate 

 form of A. albus, L. which frequently grows in roads ; but can at once 

 be separated when examined. 



In A. albus the floral bracts are twice longer than the flowers, while 

 in A. blitoides they are shorter than the flowers, and the seed of A. albus is 

 less than half the size of that of A. blitoides. 



Listera australis, Lindl. A bed of this rare little orchid, not 

 previously recorded as having been found in Canada, was discovered by
