“In drier woods Mitchella repens, Epigaea repens occur. The 
edge of the forest along rocky hills is fringed with Juniperus vir-

[These plants would indeed b kable in such habitats in Newf lland 
Trillium recurvatum is unknown east of Ohio and Tennessee (see Britton, 
Man.; Small, Flora; Gray’s Man. ed. 7). Goodyera pubescens is unknown 
east of central Maine (see RHoDoRrA, i. 5), the Newfoundland plant formerly 
reported under that name being @. tesselata. Smilacina stellata in Newfound- 
land, as in Labrador and eastern Canada, is a species of the sea-strand or of 
other gravelly or sandy shores or of light alluvium in intervales ; Viburnum 
Lentago and V. acerifolium are unknown from east of western New Brunswick 
(see Macoun, Cat. Can. Pl.; Sargent, Silva; Britton, Man.; Hough, Handb. 
of Trees; ete.). Professor Harshberger has doubtless confused them (as did 
Dr. John Bell who reported them from N. ewfoundland before him) with the 
common V. cassinoides and V. pauciflorum. Müchella repens, too, is appar- 
ently unknown from Newfoundland (see Macoun, Cat.; Britton, Man.; ete.). 
though it was once reported by a careless writer who did not realize that 
Titchella is really quite different from the “ Partridge Berry” of Newfoundland. 
In both Newfoundland and Labrador “Partridge Berry” is Vaceinium Vitis- 
Idaea, var. minus (see Waghorne, Proc, & Trans. N. S. Inst. Sei. ix. 383; ete.). 
which he speaks of in other parts of his book, sometimes as J. Sabina, some- 
times as J. Sabina, var. procumbens, apparently unaware that so far as North 
America is concerned these names (used at different times and by various 
authors) all apply to one and the same shrub.] 
[p. 354] “Sea Chff Formation. The sea coast of Newfoundland 
presents an irregular line of cliffs, beaches and headlands on which 
are Alnus viridis (= A, alnobetula), Viburnum pauciflorum, Cornus 
stolonifera, Ribes prostratum, Empetrum nigrum, various species of 
Rubus and Vaccinium.” 
[The “ Alnus viridis” of Newfoundland is A. mollis Fernald (see RHoDoRA, 
vi. 162; Britton. Man. ed. 2, 1062; Gray, Man. ed. 7). Neither this no
