Taxonomy for Vascular plants is based on the Illustrated ?ora of British Columbia.

The mitrewort (Mitella ovalis) is at the northern end of its range. It is common in moist sites on southern Vancouver Island, but does not grow on the British Columbia mainland. Great deal of it along edges of Beach Creek.

The mushroom Lentinellus ursinus is uncommon. It was seen on a log along the trail near St. Andrew’s and Sunningdale.
