24 Canadian Record of Science. 



Descriptions of new npecies will also be published, and 

 where recent revisions of genera or orders have made note- 

 worthy changes in the nomenclature of Canadian plants, 

 corrections will be made in the work already done. 



ACONITUM COLUMBIANUM, Nutt. 



This beautiful aconite was first collected in Canada by 

 Mr. Jas. McEvoy between Stump and Chaperon Lakes 

 South of Kamloops, B. C. Mr. McEvoy describes it as 

 growing in rich soil in open spaces between thickets and 

 as being frequently found tliree feet in height. It was 

 afterwards noted by Mr. McEvoy in several localities 

 between the Spullamacheen or Shuswap River and where 

 it was first found by him. 



Brassenia peltata, Pursh. 



Common in Eastern Canada ; collected in Langford Lake, 

 VaiiCouver Island and in 1893 in Stanley Park, Vancouver, 

 B. C, not before recorded from Western Canada. 



Cardamine bellidipolia, Linn. 



Until 1890 this little cress had not been collected in 

 Canada since the time of Franklin's Second Journey when 

 it was found in the Rocky Mountains by Drummond and 

 the arctic regions by Dr. Richardson. Jn 1890 it was dis- 

 covered by the writer on Avalanche Mt. near Roger's Pass 

 in the Selkirk Mountains, B. C, at 7,500 ft. altitude. But 

 five specimens in all were found, none of them exceeding 

 an inch in height. They were growing in mud close to a 

 rock over which water continually trickled. A few spe- 

 cimens of this species were also found by Prof Macoun on 

 Mt. Aylmer, Devil's Lake, Rocky Mts. in 1891, alt. 8000 ft. 



Lepedium oxycarpum, T. & G. 



Specimens of a reduced form of this plant were collected 

 in 1893 by Prof. Macoun at Cadboro Bay near Victoria 

 Van. Island. New to Canada.
