Superintendent. ■ 



Dear Sir, — Acting under your instructions I have, at odd moments during 

 the past five years, collected a large number of specimens of the better known 

 plants found growing without cultivation in the Park, and have mounted and 

 catalogued them for convenience of reference. 



So far 107 families, comprising 487 genera and 1,101 distinct species, have 

 been found ; and I have no doubt that others will yet be discovered. As you 

 desired to have the catalogue embrace only such plants as have been mounted 

 and are on evidence in the Herbarium, I have not included any of the many 

 other species not found by me but which have been noted by visiting botanists 

 from time to time in the immediate vicinity of the Park. 



I have to thank Professor John Macoun, the eminent Chief Botanist of the 

 Geological Survey of Canada, for verifying the names of the several species and 

 for many acts of courtesy and words of encouragement. 



The whole respectfully submitted. 



The Park, Niagara Falls, 

 February, 1896. 



RODERICK CAMERON, 



Gardener.
