Lake Maxinkuckee, Physical and Biological Survey 305 



N. advena is the only species found about Lake Maxinkuckee; 

 at Lake Cicott and Bass Lake some plants with much longer nar- 

 rower leaves were seen, but not collected; they were probably N. 

 sagittae folia. At Lake-of- the- Woods, the spatterdocks had a large 

 globular reddish fruit and were probably N. microphylla. 



The following are some of the most important notes taken: 

 April 26, 1901, leaves up and floating quite in summer fashion. 

 May 19, 1901, in flower in Green's marsh. October 27, 1900, leaves 

 of this and Castalia badly covered with plant lice or leaf-hoppers. 

 November 4, 1904, a flower bud washed ashore east side Lake Max- 

 inkuckee. November 12, plants frozen in a dry pond. Walley's 

 woods. 



331. SWEET-SCENTED WHITE WATER LILY 



CASTALIA ODORATA (Dryand.) Woodv. & Wood 



Not common in Lake Maxinkuckee as there is not sufficient 

 mucky bottom ; there is one small patch near the Outlet, and another 

 near Norris Inlet. There are large patches in Lost Lake, both near 

 the Outlet and near the center of the lake. Flowers are kept pretty 

 well plucked by the cottagers and excursionists. They are not 

 borne in great profusion and are rather small. Our plants have 

 the underside of the leaves purplish, in this respect resembling 

 odorata, but the relatively small flowers are not especially fragrant 

 and the rootstalks have tuber-like outgrowths. In this respect they 

 approach C. tuberosa. It is probable the two species are consider- 

 ably more alike than one would be led to believe from current de- 

 scriptions. 



The water-lilies of Twin Lakes a few miles north are abundant, 

 much larger and deliciously fragrant, and some have an exquisitely 

 delicate pink tinge. 



FAMILY 56. MAGNOLIACE^E. MAGNOLIA FAMILY 

 332. TULIP-TREE; YELLOW POPLAR 



LIRIODENDRON TULIPIFERA L. 



Not especially common in the immediate vicinity of the lake. 

 There are no trees directly west of the lake but they are more plenti- 

 ful toward the south. A good many young trees were noted in 

 Farrar's woods, and there are several large magnificent trees north 

 of the lake ; there are scattered trees in th woods of the east side. 

 April 30, 1901, leaves* beginning to show green. May 25, flower- 

 buds well developed and of good size. May 28, in flower on the 

 east side.
