APPENDIX B. 
 
 LIST OF NEW BRUNSWICK. PLANTS. 
 BY JAMES FOWLER, M. A. 
 
 r]n:i- AKATOJiY note. 
 
 The writer has long f"!t the want of a list of our Provincial Flora to serve aa a guido 
 for collecting Plants when visiting dill'erent localities, and also to furnish a reply to nu- 
 merous correspondents in other countrien. Having acquired the habit of collecting and 
 preserving specimens of such plants as met his eye in his neighbor liood, or during )m 
 visits to more distant places, he believes that he has secured a large majority of our local 
 species,, and that the publication of a List of these would Ije very useful, not only to the 
 increasing number of Amateur Botanists within the Province, but also to Medical men 
 and others interested in oxir native jilants. The vegetation of a country is th.e product 
 o-f its climate and soil. A list of its vegetable forms will consequently reveal to th©^* 
 ^Taturalist the character of the region to which they belong. There aic also several inter- 
 esting scientific questions which can only bo solved by tlie use of the materials whiclt 
 ^rc furnished by such lists. 
 
 The writer is not aware that any similar list has ever been pul)lislied, at least nont> 
 such has ever met his eye. The reader Avill notice tliai where si)ccial localities are men- 
 tioned, they arc nearly all comprised within a very limited jjortioii of th« Counties of 
 York, St. .lohn, Kent, and Ilostigouchc, tliose being almost the only districts yet visited 
 by any l>otanist. The greater portion of the Mosses and Lichens liave been collected in 
 tlie immediate neighborliuod of the writer's former home in Kent. The fact that so few 
 Counties are represented in the List, indicates how much yet remains to be done before 
 the true character of our Flora can be known and any reliable scientific deductions drawn, 
 fi'om it. ■ 
 
 Tlio List is limited to species of which the writer lias seen specimens with his owit 
 
 eyes. In the few cases in whicli species are mentioned of which lie possesses no speci-' 
 
 men, the names of tlie parties Avith whom they may bo seen are given. His thanks art* 
 
 due to sucli friends as Mr. Matthew and i\h'. Hay, of 8t. John, Mr. (.'halmers, formerly 
 
 of Campbellton, and others, for rare or loeal species.
