Chile Tarweed in Quebec 



Harold N. Moldenke 



Since the publication of my recent note on the occurrence of Chile 

 tarweed east of the Mississippi River (Torreya 41: 162-164), my 

 good friend, Brother Marie- Victorin, of the Montreal Botanical 

 Garden, has kindly sent me some more material of this species, rep- 

 resenting the first known eastern Canadian records. All these speci- 

 mens appear to be the typical form of Madia sativa Molina, rather 

 than the variety, and all except three from the Marie- Victorin 

 herbarium are deposited in the herbarium of the Montreal Botanical 

 Garden. 



The first specimen is an undated one, collected by Omer Caron 

 in Lotbiniere County, Quebec. The earliest dated collection is rep- 

 resented by five sheets (two in the Montreal Botanical Garden her- 

 barium and three in the Marie- Victorin herbarium) collected by 

 Brothers Marie- Victorin and Rolland-Germain on August 24, 1927, 

 in uncultivated ground. along the road from Longueuil to Gentilly, 

 Chambly County, Quebec (no. 29062), where the collectors state 

 that the species was introduced and abundant. On September 16, 

 1933, the same two collectors found it naturalized in fields at 

 Longueuil (no. 45645, two sheets). On August 20, 1935, the same 

 collectors collected it again in an abandoned field at Longueuil (no. 

 43637, two sheets), and on September 14, 1935, Cecile Lanouette 

 collected it along Chemin du Lac at Longueuil, where it seems, there- 

 fore, to be very definitely established.
