Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Canadian Entomologist, Vol. 19
The value of this important work, which is quite indispensable to every student of Canadian Botany, is much enhanced by the Addendum and Comprehensive Index of the whole volume, contained in the present Part. In the former we find corrections and additions to the information recorded under each species in Parts I. And II., so as to bring our know ledge of the whole of the plants mentioned down to date, and in the latter not only are the orders, genera and species given, but every synonym also appears.
In the publication of this work Prof. Macoun confers a lasting benefit upon the scientific world. No living Botanist has the knowledge 'of Can adian plants which he has acquired. Possessed/ of a keen faculty' of observation which almost amounts to an instinct, he has had the advan tage of travelling extensively and of collecting and studying in their native habitats most of the plants which have been found growing spontaneously in Canada. Moreover, by generously assisting all who apply to him for information, he has secured the hearty co-operation in his work of all the active Botanists in Canada, so that the Catalogue of Canadian Plants is not only a record of his own vast experience, which extends over a period of more than 30 years of constant study, but also includes the work of all other collectors and Botanists who have investigated or written upon the Flora of the Dominion.
