Descriptions of new npecies will also be published, and 

 where recent revisions of genera or orders have made note- 

 worthy changes in the nomenclature of Canadian plants, 

 corrections will be made in the work already done. 



AcONITmi COLUMBIANUM, Nutt. 



This beautiful aconite was first collected in Canada by 

 Mr, Jas. McEvoy between Stump and Chaperon Lakes 

 South of Kamloops, B. C. Mr. McEvoy describes it as 

 growing in rich soil in open spaces between thickets and 

 as being frequently found three feet in height. It was 

 afterwards noted by Mr. McEvoy in several localities 

 between the Spullamacheen or Shuswaj} Eiver and where 

 it was first found by him.

 five specimens in all were found, none of them exceeding 

 an inch in height. They were growing in mud close to a 

 rock over which water continually trickled. A few spe- 

 cimens of this species were also found by l*rof. Macoun on
