1898] Contributions to Canadian Botany. 171 



LiNARIA MINOR, Dcsf. 



Along the G. T. Ry., near the Cove Bridge, west of London, 

 Ont, June, 1898. {J. A. BalkiolU.) Only one other Canadian 

 record— St. John, N.B. 



CoLLiNSiA VERNA, Nutt. ; Can. Rec. Sc, Jan, 1895. 



In woods between Putnam and Ingersoll, Ont, 1896. (/. 

 Dearness.) Second Canadian record. 



MiMULUS MOSCHATUS, Dougl. 



By a brook on the farm of Mr. Peter Cavanagh, Middle 

 Settlement of Barney's River, Pictou Co., N.S. (Miss Maria 

 Cavanagh.) Not before recorded from Nova Scotia. Though 

 probably introduced or adventitious, the conditions under 

 which it is growing make it appear possible that this species is 

 indigenous in Nova Scotia, It is at any rate well naturalized. 

 Miss Cavanagh writes : '■ I have seen it growing there for four 

 or five years. Previous to that time I had no opportunity of 

 examining the brook. It grows luxuriantly and in great abun- 

 dance in an elevated region along the ridge of the watershed 

 between the rivers flowing north and south. The place is too 

 cold for plum trees." 



Stachys Germanica, L. 



Well established near Guelph, Ont. Collected in two widely 

 separated localities near that town. 1897. (/. G. McGalla.) New 

 to Canada.

 Ont. {WUliani, Hcrriatt.) Probably introduced in foreign 

 merchandise. New to Canada.
