Rhus Toxicodendron, L. 



An upright form of little height, on Goat Is., Niagara Falls.

Vitis Laerusca, L. 



Dr. Engelmann, in a letter, dated Oct. 15, 1882, expresses great 

 doubt of this species being indigenous at Niagara Falls, or 

 elsewhere in our territory. A careful re-examination of the 

 ground makes it quite certain that he is right. But that the 

 plant frequently springs up, spontaneously, near vineyards 

 in our vicinity is a matter of frequent observation. 



Vitis cordifolia, Lam., var. riparia, Gray. 



This variety, regarded by Dr. Engelmann as a distinct species, 

 ( V. riparia, Michx.), is common at Niagara Falls and along 

 the river. It also occurs at Point Abino, Ont. The typical 

 V. cordifolia probably does not belong within our limits.
