166 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. 



differ sufficiently in habit and general character to constitute good 

 species. At present species in America are, in general, too ill-defined r 

 and it is the opinion of the writer that all permanent forms should be- 

 described, and specific distinctions placed on record, so that future 

 workers may have less difficulty in working up the plants of any 

 region than has been experienced by me in elaborating the flora of 

 Canada. Specimens referred here were collected at Vancouver city,, 

 on Burrard Inlet, by Prof. Fowler. They agree precisely with Mr. 

 "W. Boott's description, and specimens distributed by Suksdorf.

 C. Michauxii, Dew. Sill. Journ. X., 273, (1826.) 



Deep cedar swamps, in sphagnum. Canada. (Hooker, Fl.) We have 

 no Canadian specimens of this species. Collectors should look for it in 

 Quebec and New Brunswick. The reflexed teeth of the perigynium 

 and grass-like appearance of the whole plant distinguish it from the- 

 next, which grows in the same situations.
