Conspicuous British Columbia Summer Plants. 177 



Dominion, under the superintendence of the Messrs. 

 Macoun, father and son, but much in this direction 

 remains yet to be accomplished in a territory so large and 

 only so lately begun to be occupied. More progress ha s 

 been made in the states lying to the south of British 

 Columbia — Oregon and Washington — and the publications 

 issued by the Agricultural Bureau of the United States 

 are of essential help in determining the flora on the 

 Canadian side of the International boundary. Besides, 

 the works of Coulter and Howell, although they do not 

 profess to give a complete list of the plants of British 

 Columbia, are available for use in our limits, although 

 doubtless there must be species away to the north that are 

 not found in Oregon, Washington or California. There 

 are not a few species west of the mountains which are 

 common to the rest of Canada, and these are not included 

 in the subjoined list. I have confined myself in large 

 measure to those plants which caught my eye as 

 unfamiliar, as they showed themselves on all hands. The 

 collections were made in the months of June and July, 

 1903, for the most part by myself, although I am indebted 

 to my friend, Mr. A. J. Hill, for a few specimens collected 

 at a later date. The Graminece and Cyperacece which I 

 collected I will have to report on in another paper, as 

 well as on the Fungi, Musci and Lichenes, of which I have 

 obtained a large number of specimens, for many of which 

 I am indebted to the kindness of Mr. Hill.
