the Passiflora in flower, but I failed to find it.  Instead though
I found Menispermum (staminata) in full bloom, and just beyond
the house Sickle-pod.  Not finding the Passiflora I went back
to the railroad and continued my tramp homeward.  Not far from
the ravine I again found the Menispermum and along with it
Gonolobus hirsutus.  I collected specimens of both for the press.  Nothing
now of importance was discovered until beyond the Relay.  Just as I
reached R. I heard thunder and soon noticed vivid flashes of lightning towards
the north-east.  It looked as if we might have a thunder-storm.  I
continued my tramp however.  As I continued, <s>my</s> I noticed that the clouds
gradually moved to the east of me and then to the south-east.  It did
not take very long to reach the Vicia Cracca place and here I found
Ononis repens, quite a nice little discovery for I had known it only to be
at Canton.  At the 5 mi. post I found Triosteum perfoliatum, a nice
lot of it and also not far off more Vicia.  When I reached Lansdown[e]
the clouds were nearly south of me and still no rain, and so it was
all the way home.  When I reached the city, I saw that it must have
been visited by a heavy down-pour and so it had been.
