A Trip to Willoughby Lake, Vt. 
WALTER DEANE. 
The region about Willoughby Lake , Vt., is so rich in interest- 
ing flowering plants and ferns that a short account of my visit 
there, during the latter half of July, 1885, may be of interest to 
botanists. ; 
Tarrived there with my wife and Judge J. R. Churchill, of Dor- 
chester, Mass., an enthusiastic botanist, on the evening of July 
Boston, on the Boston & Montreal Air Line brought us to West 
Burke, on the Passumpsie railroad, where we left the cars and 
took stage for the Willoughby Lake House. The ride of six 
miles, through a hilly country, over a rough road, was quite re- 
freshing, for the air was clear and bracing, and, during our stay 
of two weeks, we were never oppressed by the heat. 
Willoughby Lake lies in the northern part of Vermont, in 
the township of Westmore, between Willoughby mountain on 
the east, and Mt. Hor on the west. 
he lake, which runs north and south, is six miles long and 
from half a mile to a mile anda half broad. Its surface is about 
1200 feet above sea level. It empties into Lake Memphramagog 
through Willoughby river, and from there finds its way into the 
St. Lawrence river. The Willoughby Lake House, at which we 
stayed, stands at the head of the lake and commands a magnifi- 
cent view, especially when the sunset clothes the towering cliffs 
on Willoughby Mt. with a rosy hue. The country is well 
wooded, even to the summit of the mountains, with the usual 
trees and shrubs that prevail in this section. Prominent among 
them were Tilia Americana, Acer saccharinum, Acer rubrum, 
Acer Pennsylvanicum, Acer spicatum, Fraxinus A mericana, Frax-
