NOTES ON THE FLORA OF SOUTH GEORGETOWN. 



BY MRS. CHARLOTTE N. S. HORNER. 



FoUowing is a list of plaiits that are found on the shores 

 and in the meadows and pastures bordering on Lake Ray- 

 nor, South Georgetown, and a short distance beyond the 

 Boxford line ; but all within a half mile of the lake. 



Many of the plants enumerated in this list are very 

 common everywhere, and others are more or less fre- 

 quently found in other localities ; but some are found here 

 that are rare elsewhere in the county. These are printed 

 in italics, and their home is the small district described 

 above. There is a small locality at the base and on the 

 sides of some precipitous hüls where are found an unusual 

 number of rare plants. The most noteworthy of these 

 are marked in the list with an asterisk(*). In this dis- 

 trict are many pond weeds, grasses, sedges, mosses and 

 lichens not found elsewhere in the town ; but these are 

 not enumerated in the list.
