202 Canadian Record of Science. 



Island, Rainy Lake, just within Canadian territory. It 

 covered about a square rod of the eastern end of the island 

 and grew half-buried in lichens. The Indians with Prof. 

 Coleman did not know of its occurrence elsewhere in that 

 region. 



Galium palustre, L. , var. minus, Lge. 



A comparison of specimens collected by the Eev. A. Wag- 

 horne at Long Point, Labrador, with Greenland plants 

 shows that what was at first considered a form of G. trifi- 

 dum is in fact G. palustre, var. minus. New to Canada. 



Yernonia Noveboracensis, Willd. 



The plant from Essex Centre, Ont., referred to this species,

 altissima, Nutt. Specimens collected by Prof Macoun in 

 thickets at Pelee Island, Lake Erie, 1892, are V. Novebora- 

 censis. We have seen no other Canadian specimens of this 

 species.
