Fig. 3. The Flooe of College Wood in Spring, Showing Hydrophylltjm, 
Galium and the Dicentras 
and pubescens. All of these are quite low forms which must 
complete their short period of photosynthetic work before other 
larger plants overshade them. 
In May there is a greater profusion of Hydrophyllum and 
Chelidonium with Galium aparine pushing upward. Late in 
May and early June these have mostly given way to Impatiens 
hiflora and various other scattered taller forms. 
Later in the summer these forms have given place to various 
Asters, especially Aster cordifoUus, and to Eupatorium urticae- 
folium. 
The wooded areas 
I. The College Wood is a typical mesophytic wood, princi- 
pally of beech, maple, elm, ash, and only a few oak trees. This 
might be termed a moist wood. The forest floor presents an 
excellent example of seasonal plant succession. In April the 
floor is almost entirely covered with the two Dicentras, and 
Dentaria lacinata, with a generous sprinkling of Viola cucullata
