For nearly twenty years after the publicat ion of Part V 1 8 90 of the Catalogue of Canadian Plants , in , very little system w as atic botanical work done on Vancouver Island , except in 1 8 9 3 when Prof . John Macoun Spent the collecting season there . Not es on the new species and additions to the flora of Vancouver Island made in that year were published in Cont ributions from he Canadian t Herbarium of the Geological Survey , printed in the c aa a aist Record 0 7 S cien ce and The Ott w N tu r l . The need of a thorough study of the flora of Vancouver w s Island w as so pressing that in 1 9 0 8 Prof . John Macoun a inst ructed to undert ake it , and that year he worked in the r vicinity of Victoria and no th to Nanaimo , and the following 1 90 9 . season , , on the west coast , chiefly about Ucluelet H e was readbo rou h . S assisted both years by Mr William p g , who had 6 1 90 . also collected at Nootka in Prof Macoun , being otherwise 1 1 0 1 1 1 r adborou h 9 9 . S e employed in and , Mr p g continued the work of collecting in these years , spending part of the season of 1 9 1 0 on 'ueen Charlotte Islands and part of 1 9 1 1 in the 1 9 1 2 interior of Vancouver Island . In both the writ er and Prof . Macoun collected on Vancouver Island , the former on the islands in the Gulf of Georgia and in Strathcona Park , the fo r latt er chiefly in the vicinity of Sidney . The manuscript a Islan d is flora of Vancouver now almost ready for the press , but so many additions to the known flora have been made in the years referred to and so many are now int erested in the Vancouver Island flora that it seems advisable to publish for their informa tion a preliminary list of the additions that have been made to the flora in recent years . Where not otherwise st at ed , all the citations refer to collections made by members of the Geological f t he re . Survey st a f , and Specimens ain our herbarium The list that follows is by no means complet e and will b e supplement ed by the descriptions of new Species . * P u blish ed b ermissi n of t he D irect r of t he G e l ical Su e y p o o o og rv y .
