VIII. THE FLORA OF NEWFOUNDLAND, LABRADOR AND ST. 

 PIERRE ET MIQUELON : PART II. BY THE REV. ARTHUR 

 C. WAGHORNE, St. Johns, Newfoundland 



(Read 13th May, 1895.) 



Circumstances have unhappily delayed the compilation of these 

 notes. The tirst parser was read before the Institute on April 

 10th, 1893, and was published in its Transactions of the 2nd 

 series, Vol. L, beginning at page 359. That dealt with Polype- 

 talse, as far as Leguminosse, inclusive. This second paper completes 

 the Polypetalse and includes a supplementary list of plants 

 belonging to the earlier portion of this division, which have been 

 found by the compiler and others since it was published, or of 

 whose claim to be included therein he has since been assured. 

 The plants in this supplementary list are additions either to the 

 Newfoundland or Labrador flora. 



This fuller knowledge of our flora, which yields these supple- 

 mentary plants, and which renders the whole list more complete 

 and accurate, is derived from various sources, which are chiefly 

 these : 



1. The writer's own discoveries for 1893 and 1894. These 

 mostly concern the Labrador, as the greater part of both these 

 summers were spent on that coast, that of 1893 extending from 

 the Strait of Belle Isle (the southernward point being Bradore), 

 northwards through the Battle Harbour district, as far as Sand- 

 wich Bay.' Last summer his journey ings were confined to the 

 Strait of Belle Isle. The Newfoundland plants were almost 

 exclusively collected in Notre Dame Bay, on the North-east 

 coast, chiefly about Exploits. 



2. Dr. Packard's " The Labrador Coast " contains a list of 

 Labrador plants extending over 22 pages, compiled for the author 

 by Professor Macoun. This list affords a few additions to those 

 plants included in Professor Macoun's " Catalogue of Canadian
