these we have most of the trees common in other parts of 

 Canada. 



Among the smaller plants and flowers found in the neighbour- 

 hood of Hamilton, I will briefly enumerate some of those most 

 abundant in the different localities near the city. In the spring, 

 besides the flowers common everywhere, such as the Hepatica tri- 

 loba, Trillium erectum, Aquilegia Canadensis, Arum triphyllum, 

 and some others, I have found growing on the sides of the moun- 

 tain in great numbers Claytonia Virginica, Asarum Canadense, 

 Erythronium Americanum, Sanguinaria Canadensis, Hydrophyl- 

 lum Virginicum, Dicentra cucullaria, and Dicentra Canadensis, 

 also several species of Cruciferaa, such as Cardamine rhomboidea, 

 Cardamine Virginica, Dentaria laciniata, and Dentaria diphylla. 

 On the other side of Burlington Bay, I found early in the 

 spring Symplocarpus faetida, several species of Anemone, and later 

 in the season several species of Pyrola, Lobelia spicata, Lobelia 

 syphilitica, Ceanothus Americanus, several species of Vaccinium, 

 also several species of Gerardia. 



On Prince's Island, (which however is not an island,) Gillenia 

 trifoliata and Diervilla trifida are very common. I have also 

 found there Sisyrinchium ofl&cinale, Collinsonia Canadensis, Poly- 

 gala Senega, Polygala Nuttallii, Hypoxis erecta, Cypripedium pu- 

 bescens, several species of Platanthera, Gentiana crinita, Apios 

 tuberosa, two species of Lespideza, and several species of Ger- 

 ardia. 



On the sands of Burlington Beach, Polanisia graveolens and 

 Datura Stramonium are to be found in abundance, and in the 

 waters of Burlington Bay at the beach, besides the Nymphaea 

 odorata and Nuphar advena, (the white and yellow water lilies,) 

 Sagittaria variabilis, Ranunculus aquatilis, and several species 

 of Potamogeton are common. Zizania aquatica or wild rice, 

 Pontederia cordata and Nessea verticillata are also found. 



On the shores of Lake Medad, a small lake about 10 miles from 

 Hamilton, and in a sphagnous bog near Milgrove, I found Sarra- 

 cenia purpurea, (the pitcher plant,) Calypso borealis, Cypripedium 

 spectabile, Pogonia ophioglossoides, Moneses uniflora, Balibarda 

 repens, Calla palustris, Coptis trifolia, Linnaea borealis, Ledum 

 latifolium, Cornus Canadensis, and some others.
