BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 
It is desirable to incorporate in the new list as accurate a 
knowledge as we possess of the so-called Flowerless Plants. 
Some groups of these have not been studied and listed, such as 
our fresh-water algae and our parasitic fungi which do so much 
damage to the higher forms of vegetable life. Other groups, 
as the marine algae, larger fungi (mushrooms, toadstools), mosses 
and lichens have been partially listed in our Bulletins. Much 
work still remains to be done among these groups in order to 
present anything like an adequate list of the species to be met 
with and their distribution in this province. 
New and Rare Plants. 
A note from Professor Ganong reports Nymphaea odorata 
abundant in ponds on the barrens of Miscou — farther north in 
New Brunswick than hitherto reported. 
Mr. William Crawford, of Millerton, N. B., reports finding 
Sagittaria subulata, which, on the authority of Dr. Fletcher, of 
Ottawa, is its first reported appearance in Canada. Mr. Crawford 
also reports Limosella aquatica, a rare plant in this province. 
The following plants, reported by Professor Ganong from 
Miscou, are probably new to New Brunswick: 
Achillea lanulosa, Nutt. A western form. 
Viola adunca, J. E. Smith. A western form. 
Rosa acicularis, Lindl. The same as R. Engelmanni 
and R. Sayi (now considered as one species) of Gray’s Manua 
6th Edition.
