Deer Park, Lower Arrow Lake, B.C.; Eevelstoke, B.C. ; 

 Sieamous, B.C. {John Macoun.) 



Galium aparine, L. ; Macoun, Cat Can. Plants, Vol. I., 

 p. 200. 

 The only western station for this plant given by Prof. 

 Macoun is Victoria, Vancouver Island. It has since been 

 found to be of very general distribution in British Colum- 

 bia. Our specimens are from Elk River Bridge, Rocky 

 ^Mountains. {Dr. Geo. M. Dawson.) Deer Park, Lower 

 Arrow Lake, Columbia River, B.C. ; Ainsworth, Kootanie 

 Lake, B.C.; Kamloops, B.C.; Yale, B.C.; Agassiz, B.C.; 

 Lulu Island, B.C. ; Salt Spring Island, Gulf of Georgia ; 

 common on Vancouver Island. {John Maeoun.) Speci- 

 mens from some of the above localities have been 

 distributed as var. Vaillantii, Koch, but they are true 

 G. Aparine. We agree with Dr. Greene that though this 

 species is " as much at home in our woods and thickets 

 as any indigenous plant, it is probable that it came hither 

 from the Old World within the last two centuries." 



Sherabdia arvexsis, L. 



In fields, Victoria, Vancouver Island, 1893. {John 

 Macoun.) Not before recorded west of Ontario. 



ASPERULA ARVEXSIS, L. 



Edge of a marsh, near Hamilton, Ont. {J. M. Dickson.) 

 New to Canada. 



LiATRis SCARIOSA, Willd. ; Macoun, Cat. Can. Plants, 

 Vol. I., p. 208. 

 Near Sarnia, Lambton Co., Ont. {C. K. Dodge.) Not 

 recorded from Ontario since collected by Maclagan. Not 

 having seen Maclagan's specimens, Prof. Macoun, when 

 preparing his Catalogue, was of the opinion that Mac- 

 lagan's stations for L. scariosa should be referred to 

 L. cylindrica.
