Notes on the Flora of Cap-a-UAigle. 61 



Solidago canadensis, L., this magnificent plant is the most 

 common variety of the golden rod in the district, found 

 in all situations. 



Solidago gigantea, Ait., also abounds. 



Solidago lanceolata, this is a characteristic of the ditches 

 and other damp portions of the wayside ; it is the latest 

 in flowering of all the golden rods of the locality. 



Aster macrophyllus, L.. is one of the characteristic plants 

 of the district, contending for space throughout the 

 woods with the Aralia nudicaulis and the Cornus cana- 

 densis. Its large heart-shaped root-leaves completely 

 carpet the ground with green, and are fragrant when 

 crushed ; but few of them send up a stalk. 



Aster undulatus, L., also abounds in the woods on the 

 higher ground. 



Aster cordifolius, L., found along fences and on the edge of 

 woods. 



Aster longifolius, Lam., frequently met with in moist 

 thickets along streams. 



Aster multiflorus, Ait., often seen on dry soil, near 

 fences. 



Aster tenuifolius, L., occasionally found in low thickets. 



Erigeron canadense, L., a characteristic plant of the dis- 

 trict, completely covering new ground lately burnt over, 

 and found on all the hillsides. 



Erigeron bellidifolium, Muhl., in thick dry woods. 



Erigeron strigosum, Muhl, abounds in the dry fields. 



Leucanthemun„ vvlgare, Lam., is as plentiful as it is every- 

 where in Canada. 



Rudbeckia hirta, L., is occasionally met with in dry 

 meadows. 



Achillea millefolium, L., abounds everywhere in fields, 

 woods and waysides. 



Cichorium intybus, L., is rather rare, but an occasional 

 specimen is seen on the roadside. 



Hieracium canadense, Mich., this and the 



Hieracium scabrum, Mich., are characteristic plants of the 

 district, found in dry sandy fields and on the hillsides.
