chon Creek, B.C. (Dr. G. M. Dawson.) All the above 

 specimens were found growing on gravelly shores or banks. 



Fragaria Canadensis, Michx. 



This plant has been separated from F. Virginiana by Dr. 

 N. L. Britton. (Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, Vol. XIX., p. 222.) 

 At the time Dr. Britton's note was written our herbarium 

 contained no specimens of this species. In 1892, however, 

 it was collected by Miss E. Taylor at Fort Smith, on the 

 Great Slave Eiver, and in 1893 by Mr. Jas. W. Tyrrell on 

 the banks of the Black River, east of Lake Athabasca. 

 " The leaflets are much narrower, oblong or the middle one 

 obovate and cuneate at the base, all obtuse rather sparingly 

 and not deeply toothed." In Miss Taylor's specimens the 

 largest leaflet is 20 lines long and but 7 lines broad at its 

 widest part. The plants here referred to are very much 

 slenderer than any of our specimens of F. Virginiana. The 

 stations given for this species by Dr. Britton are Lake 

 Mistassini, (Michaux.) Arctic America. (Dr. Richardson.) 

 Elk River [Athabasca River] (Kennicott.) 



EPILOBIUM, Linn. 



In the last addendum to his catalogue of Canadian Plants 

 (Yol. IL, p. 323), Prof. Macoun wrote: "Many additional 

 species and varieties of Epilobium have been added to our 

 flora since the publication of Part III, but our whole series 

 of this genus is now being examined by Prof. Trelease who 

 is unable to report upon them in time to include them in 

 this part." Since the above was written botanical explora- 

 tions in the Rocky Mountains, British Columbia, and else- 

 where have added greatly to our knowledge of this genus, 

 and the revision here given covers all the specimens in our 

 herbarium and gives the distribution of each specie^ as we 

 now understand it. All our specimens have been examined 

 by Dr. Wm. Trelease, and references to many of them have 

 been included in his revision of this genus. (See Second 

 Annual Report, Missouri Botanic Gardens, pp. 69-116.)
