P. Canadensis, L. (Cinque-foil — Five-Finger — False Strawberry.) 

 This little plant always attracts the attention of young botanists. It 

 varies very much in form, so that beginners usually make several species 

 of it during the season. It resembles the field strawberry in general ap- 

 pearance. When found in dry, barren fields, it is small, simple, and 

 thickly sprinkled with silky hairs ; when growing in damp, rich fence- 

 rows it is less hairy, and sends off many runners, rooting and flowering 

 along the runners. The plant in damp, rich soil forms the Var. P. sim- 

 plex.
