one of the most conspicuous of the spring flowers. 

 It occurs everywhere in the lowlands. 



Viola canadensis, L. (Canada Violet.) 



Only one specimen of this plant was found, and that on 

 Cacouna Island, but although difficult to find at this 

 season of the year, it is most probably one of the 

 more conspicuous of the spring flowers throughout 

 the open woods.

Arenaria lateriflora, L. (Sandwort.)

Arenaria peploides, L. (Sandwort.) 



Very common on the sandy shore of Cacouna Point.
