PREFACE.
A
few words will not be out of place by way of preface to
the List of Common Canadian Plants contained in the fol-
lowing pages. It will be observed that the List is confined
to wild plants, the exclusion of cultivated Species having
been determined on, partly because of thedifficulty of know-
ing where to stop, when an enumeration of them has once
been entered upon, and partly because it was thought that,
on the whole, more important results would be attained by
directing attention exclusively to the denizens of our own
woods and fields. What is really desired is, to create among
our young people an interest in the Botany of Canada, and
it seems not unreasonable to hope that this end may bo better
attained by placing within their reach some such handy
volume as the present, dealing only with such plants as grow
spontaneously within our limits.
The great majority of the plants described have been per-
sonally examined,and their occurrence verified,by the writer,
his observations having been directed to what may fairly be
regarded as representative districts of the older Provinces,
but special acknowledgments are also due to Prof. Macoun,
of the Geological Survey, for the free use of his valuable
notes, and other friendly assistance.
Whilst diligence has been exercised that no commonly
occurring plant should be omitted, yet it can hardly be that
such oiTissions do not occur, and the writer will be most
grateful to any observers into whose hands the List may
come, if they will kindly draw his attention to any such
defects, so that they may be remedied in subsequent editions.
The Classification and Nomenclature adopted are very
