*vulgatum in Wood's.

Round about in the woods, I noticed several White Pine
trees, no doubt indigenous.  It was about a quarter past 
five o'clock when we left "The Rocks". A part of the program
for the day was to stop off at Woodbrook to see if Caltha
palustris were in bloom.  On the way up, I had noticed the 
plant in a small stream not far from Belair.  Coming back
we verified this observation.  It was 15 minutes of seven when we
reached W. It was dark, but we decided to get off and look.
We soon found the place where the plants grew.  These plants
only were there, one of which was in bloom.  Okesia [Oakesia] sessilifolia
was found in profusion, also a few specimens of Anemone nemorosa
and a nice patch of 24 Trillium.  It was now too dark to
examine the place closer, so we walked over to Lakeside
where we took the electric car for home.

April 20, 1902.  An afternoon trip to Clifton Park with N. & children.
Cerastium <s>vulgatum</s> viscosum* was found in bloom also Magnolia conspicua,
M. purpurea was still in bud.  The larches are looking beautiful, their
conspicuous red flowers are handsome.  One shrub was noticed, labeled
Xanthoxylum Americanum, which I think is wrong, I think it X Clava Herculis
will await further developments before notifying the superintendent. Acer Nigrum
