that species. These fruiting' specimens of O. defJcxa were also 

 probably included in g^iving^ the range of O. foliolosu. 



O. foliolosa is from 4 to 7 inches high, occasionally somewhat 

 decumbent; legumes 3-5 lines long, clothed with black hairs, 

 pendent, but when as in flower forming a compact head ; 

 otherwise as described by Hooker. From its habit and range it 

 is evidently a high alpine and northern species. 



Our herbarium specimens are from Northern Labrador, Herb. 

 No. 18,668. {A. P. Lo7V.) Rocky Mountains. (John Macotin. ) 

 Arctic North America {Dr. Ric/iardson.) 



These latter are young flowering specimens and were dis- 

 tributed from the British Museum as O. Joliolosa. 



Cassia Marilandica, L. 



Two or three plants near the Thames River, east of Th;imes- 

 ville, Ont., 1892 ; on flats of Cornwall's Creek, Howard Town- 

 ship, Kent Co.; Aug. 15th, 1892, well established; around the 

 mouth of a government ditch. Tilbury, Ont., 1894. (/. Deaniess.) 

 New to Canada and perhaps indigenous in S. W. Ontario. 



Lathyrus maritimus, Bigel. var. Aleuticus, Greene. 



A not rare variety on the Labrador coast and on both sides of 

 Hudson Bay. Described from Alaska where, as on Hudson Bay, 

 it is not mixed with, but in many localities takes the place of L. 

 tnarilitnus. The smaller size of the variety is not in my opinion 

 due to habitat as L. maritimus of large size is found in equally ex- 

 posed situations in the same latitudes.
