collected, mounted, and named by Professor John Macoun since he has resided at Sidney, B.C., 
together with a collection of Musci and Lichens made by him on Vancouver Island and a portion 
of the Mainland of this Provinee. This collection, made and named by so eminent a botanist. 
will be a valuable acquisition as a source of reference in the identity and for determination of 
other specimens. 
Mr. W. B. Anderson, of Victoria, has contributed a large number of plants, collected in his. 
leisure hours, from the Interior, which cover many localities, from Fort George to Penticton and 
extending through West Kootenay. This collection will undoubtedly add much new material to 
the Herbarium, especially as regards distribution. 
The Fort George specimens cover a new area not hitherto represented in the collection. 
A few of the plants from the various localities mentioned are as follows :— 
Chenopodium botrys. Physostegia parviflora. 
Axyris amarantoides. Orthocarpus luteus. 
Calochortus elegans. Potentilla flabelliformis. 
Melampyrum lineare. Galeopsis tetrahit. 
Anemone virginiana. Crepis tectorum. 
Chrysothamnus nauseosus. Behium vulgare. 
Chimaphila menziesii. Hieracium scouleri var. ceynoglossoides. 
Antennaria rosea. Brigeron acris var. drebachiensis. 
Anthriscus sativa. Senecio balsamite var. thomsoniensis. 
Gilia aggregata. 
Among these Axryris amarantoides L. and Crepis tectorwm L., introduced plants, appear to 
be additions to the flora of British Columbia. 
Mr. W. A. Newcombe has also donated a representative collection made in the vicinity 
of Quesnel Lake and a portion of the Chilcotin country during the seasons of 1916 and 
1917; amongst the rarer species and some not previously reported from these regions are the 
following :— 
CHILcorin, 1916. 
Stephanomeria minor. Solidago decumbens. 
Calochortus macrocarpus. Mentzalia levicaulis. 
QUESNEL LAKE, 1917. 
Epipactis repens var. ophioides. Alnus tenuifolia. 
Habenaria orbiculata. Mitella nuda. 
Parnassia palustris. Ribes glandulosum. 
Rubus strigosus. Ribes oxryacanthoides. 
Spiraea menziesii. Vaccinium canadense. 
Dracocephalum parviflorum. Hieracium umbellatum. 
Stephanomeria minor. Senecio eremophilus. 
In this as in Mr. Anderson’s collection there are a number of doubtful specimens, which 
have been forwarded to Mr. J. M. Macoun, Chief of the Division of Biology, Geological Survey, 
Ottawa, and Professor J. K. Henry, of the University of British Columbia, for comparison with 
authenticated specimens and identification, and until such time as this work has been completed 
no adequate list can be chronicled. 
Specimens of two additions to the flora of Vancouver Island, Arnica cordifolia and Roman- 
cofia unalaschensis, collected by Dr. C. F. Newcombe, of Victoria, have been donated by him to 
the collection in the Herbarium. 
On June 16th, 17th, and 18th, Mr. F. Kermode, Director, accompanied by Dr. F. C. Newcombe, 
of Victoria, made a small collection of the more uncommon plants growing around Bella Coola; 
the following, which are usually plants growing at much higher altitude, were collected on the 
river-bottom, a little above sea-level :— 
Bpilobium latifolium. Pentstemon diffusus. 
Mimulus lewisii. 
In the matter of distribution the following interesting species were collected in close — 
proximity to salt water :— 
Trautvetteria grandis. Corydalis sempervirens. 
Ranunculus orthorynchus var. platyphyllus. Aralia nudicaulis. 
Hemieva ranunculifolia, Senecio balsamite yar. thomsoniensis.
