A. stolonifera., v;u\ u ( Ida Fernald, Riiodora, xxiii. 2(57 (1922). 

 Additional stations in Yarmouth, Shelburne and Lunenburg Cos. 



A. LAEVis Willi!., var. nttida (Wiegand) Fernald, Rhodora., 

 xxiii. 2(i7 (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 rvbrd (Hill) Robinson. Damp roadside-thicket, 

 Yarmouth. 



**Rubus odoratus L. vur. 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 Rnbus odoratus has the leaves nearly or often qtiite 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 Annap[oli]s., 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. glandicaulis Blanchard. The typical form of the species 

 collected in Hants Co.: gravelly thicket near Uniacke Lake. 



R. amnicola Blanchard. Yarmouth 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. multiformis 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. biformispinus 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. recurvans 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.
