north-western plant, appears also in Anticosti and Labrador. 

 Botrycliium Lunai'ia, a foreigner to the United States flora, and 

 Allium Schoenoprasum, have a similar range to the Atlantic coast, 

 the former occurring on Orleans Island, and the latter extending, 

 according to Prof. Bailey, to the Nepisiquit in New Brunswick. 



Some of the plants which I have above enumerated are dis- 

 tributed through Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, and others 

 even extend to Ore2:on and California. The following are, how- 

 ever, not included in Gray's Manual of Botany, as being withia 

 those States east of the Mississippi River : 



Anemone nar'issiflora. Crepis runcinata. 



Caltha natans. Matricaria inodora. 



Aquilcgia vulgaris. Mulgedium pulchellum. 



Arabis petraea. Melampyrum pratense. 



Turritis patula. Mertensia pilosa. 



T. retrofracta. Polemonium ceeruleum. 



Linum perenne. Coriospermum hyssopifolium. 



Rosa stricta. Elaeagnus argentea. 



Lonicera involucrata. Echinodorus subulatus. 



Senecio canus. Carex Vahlii. 



Nardosmia sagittata. Allosorus acrostichoides. 



Carex Vahlii and Allosorus acrosticJioidcs, it is to be observed, 

 have been found on Isle Royale ; which island forms a part of 

 the State of Minnesota, and is therefore within Gray's limits. 

 Melampyrum pratense and Echinodorus subulatus, though not in 

 the Manual, are, according to Dr. Parry (Owen's Geological Sur- 

 vey of Wisconsin and Minnesota), found at St. Croix in Wis- 

 consin. 



It will, in this place, be proper to mention, before adverting to 

 the maritime type, that Upper Canada and Lower Canada appear 

 each to have a peculiar flora. The materials requisite to 4efine 

 with sufficient accuracy the distinctive features of each flora, 

 which are at command, are not, however, so ample as could be 

 desired. From the upper province I have several full and reliable 

 catalogues, though much may yet there be done ; but the eastern 

 townships and vicinity of the neighboring United States boundary- 

 line, have not been sufficiently explored to preclude the hope that 

 not a few species, at present thought not to range into Lower 

 Canada, will be detected there. Most of the plants indigenous to 

 the northern districts of Maine and Vermont, should occur there. 



I may here, for the sake of illustrating the two floras mentioned, 

 and with a view of more fully indicating in this paper the general
