Flora of Cacouna, P. Q. 441 



Poterium canadense, Benth. & Hook. (Burnet.) 



This plant is one of the most conspicuous features of the 

 summer flora. Along the shore of Cacouna Island 

 it is abundant. On the mainland it occurs in the 

 intervales, where it often forms a dense growth for 

 many square rods. One of the best locations for 

 this plant is on the road to Fraserville, near the 

 railroad crossing. Flower. 



Eosa blanda, Ait. (Eose.) 



Found somewhat sparingly, the only station being on 

 rocky land at Cacouna Point. Only one clump, 

 growing close to a ledge, was observed. Flower. 



Pyrus Americana, D. C. (Mountain Ash.) 



Very common along the roadsides and in grounds about 

 houses, where it has been utilized for ornamental 

 purposes. It is abundant everywhere in thickets 

 and on rocky slopes, where, however, it is always 

 very small and badly attacked by fungus. It occurs 

 somewhat sparingly on Cacouna Island, where it 

 extends nearly to the summit, but always small and 

 stunted. As found here the height ranges from 3° 

 to 20°. Fruit. 



Amelanchier canadensis, Torr. & Gray, var. botryapium, 

 Torr. & Cray. (June-berry.) 

 Common on Cacouna Island, where it extends to the sum- 

 mit. On the mainland it is everywhere found on 

 the rocky ridges, but nowhere is more than five feet 

 high. Fruit. 



Amelanchier oligocarpa, Eoem. (June-beny.) 



Common on the ridges along the shore. Both this and 

 the previous species are very extensively attacked 

 by fungus. Fruit. 



Tiarella cordifolia, L. (False Mitre-wort.) 



Observed only in the moist woods of Pilot Hill. Leaves 

 only.
