  BOTANICAL 
  GAZETTE.

  ported 
  by 
  neighboring 
  bushes. 
  I 
  have 
  ahviiys 
  found 
  it 
  rather 
  

   small 
  in 
  the 
  region 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  lakes. 
  The 
  plants 
  were 
  also 
  

   peculiar 
  in 
  their 
  flowers, 
  yellow 
  changing 
  or 
  fading 
  to 
  red. 
  

   This 
  also 
  links 
  them 
  to 
  L. 
  glauca, 
  whose 
  flowers 
  are 
  greenish- 
  

   yellow 
  to 
  purple, 
  commonly 
  purple 
  in 
  this 
  vicinity. 
  Our 
  

   common 
  American 
  Woodbine, 
  L. 
  grata, 
  also 
  has 
  flowers 
  

   changeable 
  in 
  color, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  the 
  reverse, 
  fading 
  from 
  pur- 
  

   plish 
  to 
  yellow. 
  Rubus 
  NtUkantis 
  Mocino, 
  or, 
  if 
  we 
  are 
  

   able 
  to 
  take 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Nuttall, 
  R. 
  parz'lforns, 
  grows 
  every- 
  

   \there 
  on 
  the 
  rocky 
  hills 
  that 
  have 
  been 
  denuded 
  of 
  trees, 
  

   and 
  in 
  clearings, 
  often 
  thickly 
  covering 
  the 
  ground 
  like 
  other 
  

   species 
  of 
  bramble. 
  It 
  is 
  usually 
  smaller 
  than 
  its 
  congener, 
  

   R. 
  odoratus, 
  common 
  at 
  the 
  east'and 
  also 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  Upper 
  

   Peninsula, 
  and 
  bears 
  a 
  fruit 
  fragile 
  but 
  palatable. 
  Birds 
  are 
  

   apparently 
  very 
  fond 
  of 
  it. 
  

  

  The 
  hazelnut 
  of 
  the 
  Northern 
  Peninsula, 
  or 
  at 
  least 
  

   the 
  northern 
  part 
  of 
  it, 
  is 
  Corylus 
  rostrata, 
  well 
  marked 
  by 
  

   the 
  long 
  beak 
  of 
  the 
  involucre. 
  It 
  was 
  very 
  abundant 
  m 
  

   some 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  Kew^eenaw 
  Peninsula. 
  When 
  at 
  Sault 
  Ste. 
  

   Marie, 
  in 
  1881, 
  it 
  was 
  found 
  t.o 
  be 
  the 
  prevailing 
  species 
  there 
  

   on 
  the 
  Canadian 
  side. 
  

  

  Some 
  of 
  the 
  aquatic 
  plants 
  deserve 
  notice. 
  Hippuris 
  vul- 
  

   garis 
  is 
  not 
  so 
  rare 
  a 
  plant 
  as 
  it 
  was 
  formerly 
  thought 
  to 
  be. 
  

   but 
  is 
  frequently 
  met 
  with 
  in 
  the 
  region 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  lakes. 
  

   It 
  is 
  rather 
  local, 
  but 
  quite 
  widely 
  disseminated. 
  It 
  p^vf 
  

   Itself 
  a 
  plant 
  readily 
  conforming 
  to 
  a 
  change 
  of 
  condition 
  in 
  

   Its 
  usual 
  habitats, 
  becoming 
  semi-aquatic 
  or 
  even 
  terrestrial 
  

   if 
  the 
  water 
  dries 
  away 
  or 
  recedes 
  from 
  the 
  shore, 
  doing 
  weH 
  

   except 
  being 
  dwarfed 
  in 
  size. 
  I 
  saw 
  a 
  good 
  example 
  of 
  this 
  

   in 
  a 
  mill-pond 
  at 
  Otis, 
  Ind., 
  last 
  autumn. 
  The 
  water 
  was 
  

   low 
  and 
  had 
  withdrawn 
  to 
  a 
  distance 
  from 
  its 
  usual 
  limit. 
  A 
  

   wide 
  reach 
  of 
  muddy 
  flats 
  was 
  left, 
  green 
  with 
  Hippuns- 
  

   i 
  he 
  stems 
  were 
  too 
  slender 
  to 
  stand 
  upright, 
  evidently 
  hav- 
  

   ing 
  grown 
  at 
  a 
  higher 
  stage 
  of 
  water, 
  and 
  leaned 
  over 
  to 
  one 
  

   side, 
  the 
  extremity, 
  well 
  covered 
  with 
  flowers 
  and 
  fruit, 
  mov- 
  

   ing 
  upward 
  into 
  an 
  erect 
  position.
