Pictou and Antigonish. Equally so is Primula Mistassinica, 
Michx., found in only two places. 
The Northern Inverness stations are responsible for the 
addition of Caltha palustris, L. Anemone Americana, L. is 
another contribution from this district, but blooms later. 
Much more common is Trilliwm cernuum, L., but it grows 
also in other situations. Moreover, on the West River of 
Pictou there occur some unusual forms, which seem intermediate 
between this species and 7. erectum. Some Antigonish 
references to 7. grandiflorwm may indicate a similar fact. 
The trees and shrubs first to bloom in such localities are the 
Elm (Ulmus Americana), which has everywhere been left on 
account of its striking beauty, and the Beaked Hazel (Corylus 
rostrata.) But still more typical, though later blooming, are 
the species of Crategus, which so often occur along the banks, 
forming in many cases almost impenetrable thickets. Until 
recently these have all been referred to C. coccinea, L., but it is 
now known that there are several species, at least five and 
probably six, including some new to science, C. coccinea being, 
however, the commonest and in the greatest numbers where 
found, (. acutiloba, the next in order of frequency, being hardly 
an intervale plant. 
During June the intervales become covered with verdure, 
including most of the plants of field and roadside, whether 
native or introduced. But there are again some rather typical 
forms. Among them should first be noted Sanicula Marilan- 
dica, L.; Washingtonia Claytoni (Michx.), Britton ; W. longisty- 
lis (Torr), Britton, (which is much commoner than usually 
supposed); Geum Virginianum, L.; G. Canadense, Jacq. ; 
Heracleum lanatum, Michx., which seem to be found nearly 
everywhere. Some others call for more particular attention. 
Ranunculus recurvatus, Poir, is known from two localities on 
West and one on East River, Pictou County. Thalesia uniflora 
(L.), Britton, is found at nearly the same places. The former 
has recently been reported from Inverness.
