M 14 British Columbia. 1922 



County, Washington. These specimens are very desirable, as there is a possibility that this and 

 some of the other plants at present only known to the Olympic Range may eventually be found 

 on some of the higher mountains on the west coast of Vancouver Island. 



Mr. George Fraser, of Ucluelet, Vancouver Island, presented a number of specimens of 

 hybridization, chiefly among Ruhus. upon which he has been working since 1912, in order to 

 find out if he could throw any light on the parentage of the loganberry. He is to be congratulated 

 for his marked strides of success in producing many interesting variations between well-known 

 cultivated varieties and our native species, which shoxild prove of much scientific value to 

 horticulturists ; the following list represents the results of his research : — 

 English raspberry x Ruhus nutkanus. 

 Ruhus nutkanus x English raspberry. 

 English raspberry x Ruhus spectabilis. 

 English raspberry x Ruhus leucodermis. 

 Ruhus macropetalus x English raspberry. 

 Ruhus macropetalus x Mongrel raspberry, the result of crossing Ruhus spectabilis with 



raspberry. 

 Ruhus macropetalus x Erie blackberry (Ruhus canadensis) . 

 Ruhus macropetalus x Lucretia dewberry (Ruhus villirus var.). 

 Ruhus macropetalus x Loganberry. 



Upright seedling from Ruhus macropetalus x Loganberry. 

 Loganberry's English raspberry (infertile). 

 Loganberry x Ruhus nutkanus (fertile). 

 Loganberry x Ruhus nutkanus (infertile). 

 Loganberry x Ruhus spectabilis (.fertile). 

 Loganberry x Ruhus laciniatus (infertile). 

 In the above list Mr. Fraser states the first named is the seed parent. 



Another consignment of hybridization received from Mr. Fraser included the following 

 plants : — 



Ruhus parviflorus x R odoratus. 

 Fruit and foliage of Ruhus urslnus x Loganberry. 

 Fruit of Pyrus diver sifolia x cultivated variety of P. mains. 

 Myosotis laxa x Myosotis palustris semperflorens. 

 Lonicera Perclymeum x Lonicera ciliosa (fertile). 

 Knight's hybrid rihes. 

 Campanula rotundifolia var. 

 Aster? 

 Mr. Fraser states the following plants, of which he also very kindly donated specimens, 

 with the exception of Vaccinium macrocarpum Ait., have established themselves by seeding 

 unassisted on ground which has been cleared and burned but never has been cultivated : — 

 Rhododendron ponticum. Erica vagans. 



Calluna vulgaris. Erica vagans var. alba. 



Calluna vulgaris alporti. Spima Bumalda. 



Calluna vulgaris alba. Pernethya mucronata. 



Daboccia polifolia. Vaccinium macrocarpum. 



Uaboeeia polifolia alba. 



It will be interesting to note whether airy of these plants later become distributed and 

 established throughout the Ucluelet District. 



There has been an increase in the number of visitors seeking Information about our native 

 Horn, and a large increase over previous years in the quantity of plants sent in for identification, 

 Mr. T. 1'. Mackenzie and Mr. G. V. Copley, of the Grazing Commission, sending in approximately 

 300 specimens, many of them plants from the dry interior of the Province, and wherever possible 

 duplicate specimens have been donated for the Herbarium collection. 

 Among these plants, the following are of special interest: — 



Agropyron dasystachyum (Hook.) Scribn. Panicum capillars L. % 



Bromm Porteri (Coult.) Nash. Poa brachyglossa Piper. 



Danthonia intermedia Vasey. Poa nervosa (Hook.) Vasey. 



EVymus dasyslachys Trln. Poa Sandbergii Vasey.
