Galium aparine, L. ; Macoun, Cat. Can. Plants, Vol. L,, 

 p. 200. 

 The only western station for this plant given by ProL 

 Macoun is Victoria, Vancouver Island. It has since been 

 found to be of very general distribution in British Colum- 

 bia. Our specimens are from Elk River Bridge, Rocky 

 Mountains. {D7\ Geo. M. Dcncson.) Deer Park, Lower 

 Arrow Lake, Columbia River, B.C. ; Ainsworth, Kootanie 

 Lake, B.C. ; Kamloops, B.C.; Yale, B.C.; Agassiz, B.C. ;-. 

 Lulu Island, B.C. ; Salt Spring Island, Gulf of Georgia ;. 

 common on Vancouver Island. {John Macoun.) Speci- 

 mens from some of the above localities have been 

 distributed as var. Vaillantii, Koch, but they are true 

 G. Aparine. We agree with Dr. Greene that though this- 

 species is " as much at home in our woods and thickets- 

 as any indigenous plant, it is probable that it came hither 

 from the Old World within the last two centuries."
