Hypericum mutilum, L. (St. John's-wort.) 



A rather common plant in low ground. Chiefly in fruit, 

 occasionally in flower. 



Elodes campanulata, Pursh. (Marsh St. John's-wort.) 

 Common in the moss hummocks of low, boggy ground, 

 chiefly in the intervale back of Cacouna. Fruit. 



*Linum usitatissimum, L. (Flax.) 



This introduced plant appears to be wholly confined to 

 grain-fields, where it is quite prominent. It was 

 not observed on Cacouna Island. Flower and fruit. 



Oxalis corniculata, L., var. stricta, Sav. (Wood Sorrel.) 



A few plants of this species were observed on the slope 



of Pilot Hill, and though a more extended search 



might disclose a larger quantity, it is apparently not 



an abundant species here. Flower. 



Impatiens pulva, Nutt. (Jewel-Weed.) 



Yery common in low lands, especially in ditches and 

 along narrow streams, as well as in moist thickets 

 of the mainland and Island. Flower. 



Acer pennsylvaxicum, L. (Striped Maple.) 



This shrub was noted as occurring but sparingly, and the 

 impression was gained that it is here near its highest 

 northern limit. A few shrubs are to be found at the 

 foot of the bluff along the shore, and a few more at 

 the foot of the bold western foot of Pilot Hill. Fruit. 



Acer spicatum, Lam. (Mountain Maple.) 



A very common species in all the thickets along the 

 shore, particularly along the foot of the bluff towards 

 Fraserville landing. Fruit. 



Acer saccharinitm, Wang. (Sugar Maple.) 



A common tree, extensively used for shade. These three 

 species of maple were not observed on Cacouna Island. 



*Trifolium repens, L. (White Clover.) 

 Everywhere common in cultivated fields and by the road- 

 side. Flower.
