Geranium sanguinium L. 

 Red-rooted Geranium 



Some time during the season of 1914, Miss R. M. Kearsley, of Detroit, 

 observed an unfamilar road-side geranium near Birmingham, Oakland 

 County. B. Gladewitz, of Detroit, determined the plant as G. sanguinium, 

 and this identification has been confirmed by K. K. Mackenzie. 



The species is from one to one and one-half feet high, inclined to be 

 ascending, flowers purple and showy, petals heart-shaped, roots long and 

 red — fully as red as the rootstocks of our common bloodroot, Sangiiinaria 

 canadensis. The plants occupy a space by the roadside about ten by twenty 

 feet, extend slightly into an adjoining field and are reported by nearby peo- 

 ple as having been there at least fifteen years. 



Viola Selkirkii Pursh 

 Great-spurred Violet 



According to Gray the range of this violet is in part "L. Superior and 

 Northw., rare." ; and in Britton and Brown the distribution is given in part 

 as "New Brunswick to Pennsylvania and Minnesota." The Michigan Flora 

 lists the following localities, "Gillman, A. Gray; Keweenaw County. O. 

 A. Farwell. U. P." This violet is very distinct and easily recognized. 

 It was first noted by the writer in the hardwoods near Manistique, in School- 

 craft County, and in 1916-7 it was observed frequently in rich, shaded ground 

 in Marquette County, especially about the premises of the Huron Mountain 

 Club. It is very probably to be found throughout the Upper Peninsula.
