VIII. THE FLORA OF NEWFOUNDLAND, LABRADOR, and ST. 

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

 C. WAGHORNE, Bay of Islands, Newfoundland. 



(Read May 9th, 1898.) 



A change of residence, and the charge of a new and extensive 

 parish, are the hindrances which are chiefly accountable for 

 the delay in the continuance of this series of papers, of which 

 the first part appeared in the Transactions of the Institute, 

 Vol. VIII (Ser. 2, Vol. I), page 359 ; and the second part in 

 Vol. IX (Ser. 2, Vol. II), page 17. 



To the prefatory remarks of the two preceding papers, a few 

 notes should here be added : 



1. The Part I. here h'rst presented is made up of Polypetalous 

 plants which have been added to our Newfoundland or Labrador 

 lists of plants since 1895. 



2. These have been obtained from three sources, chiefly : 



(a) Professor Macoun's Contributions from the Herbarium 

 of the Geological Survey of Canada, (Parts I. VI.) ; these are 

 indicated herein briefly as " C. H. Geo. S. of C." 



(b) A list of Newfoundland plants collected by Mr. A. B. 

 Bullman, B. A. Sc. (of H. M. Newfoundland Survey). The 

 plants were collected by him on the West coast in 1896, and in 

 White Bay in 1897. This gentlemen modestly says that he lays 

 no claim to be a botanist, so that his determinations may be 

 subject to revision, a fate which befalls even those of men who 

 are botanists. If Mr. Bull man's decisions are sustained as to 

 certain plants, his list adds fifteen names to our flora. 



(c) My own collections since 1895 in the Bay of Islands, and 

 a week while in Bay St. George, and a trip across the country 

 in 1895, and to Brenton and Clode Sound in Bonavista Bay, on 

 the East coast. At Mr. Reid's stone quarry, about 80 miles from 

 the Bay of Islands, on both sides of the railway track, by the
