50 SYLVAN ONTARIO. 



37c. Vibtvrnum pamifloyum (Pylaie. ). Few-flowered Viburnum. 



A straggling shrub resembling the last but smaller and bearing fewer 

 flowers. This is a northern form and probably is not found in older 

 Ontario. 



37d. Vibfirnum acerifolium (L.). Maple-leaved Arrow-wood. 



A common shrub resembling the Maples in its leaves but with much 

 shorter petioles, usually bearing narrow stipules. The leaves and 

 twigs are quite downy and the ripe fruit is purple. 



37e. Vibfirnum pubescens (Pursh.). Downy Arrow- wood. 



Common throughout Ontario, and found like the last, in hilly or rocky 

 woods. The leaves are coarsely toothed and downy beneath on very 

 short petioles. The fruit is dark purple. 



37f . Viburnum dentdtum (L. ). Arrow -wood. 



A rather rare form found in southern Ontario. It resembles the last, 

 but is nearly smooth and with petioles considerably longer. A variety 

 met with in Muskoka has downy leaves on petioles of ^ in. or longer, and 

 I have not been able to satisfy myself as to whether it belongs to this 

 species or the last. 



37g. Viburnum cassinoldes (L.) Withe-rod. 



One of the commonest shrubs in northern swamps, though rare in 

 southern Ontario. Known by the small rounded teeth of the leaves 

 and in late summer by the long rusty buds. The slender straight 

 stems are very tough and are often used for basket-work. The fruit is 

 dark blue. 



37h. Viburnum Lentdyo (L.). Sheepberry. Sweet Viburnum. 



Our largest species bearing bunches of dark fruit with a sweetish taste. 

 The leaves are rather finely serrate with winged petioles. Plentiful 

 along the Severn River and on islands in Lake Muskoka. 



38a. Symphoricdrpos racemosus (Michx). Snowberry. 



Often cultivated for the white berries, and found native in older 

 Ontario. The leaves are sometimes slightly wavy or toothed, but not 

 pointed. 



38b. Symphoricdrpos pauciflorus (Button). Low Snowberry. 



Like the last but very low, with small leaves and few flowers. This is 

 the form found commonly in Muskoka. 



39a. Lonicera cilidta (Muhl.). Fly-Honeysuckle. 



This is probably the most abundant of our native Honeysuckles, and, is 

 found throughout the province. Known by the slender branching 

 twigs, the ciliate margins of the leaves and the red berries in pairs.
