Popu/us tremu/oides — Duncan; Watson: very common in woods throughout the Province. Seemingly a hardy tree flourishing even within reach of the spray from the sea, though it rarely attains a large growth.

Prunus virginiana — J. S. Gordon: at Alberton, 19 July 1891; A. E. Gordon: at Montrose; Duncan; Clarkin: in Charlottetown Royalty East; Churchill, at Tracadie Beach 1901; Watson: in woods on Mr. Tweedy’s farm, Charlottetown Royalty. Not uncommon in woods.
Ouercus rubra — Duncan: at Searletown, Kensington, on Mr. Tweedy’s farm, North River. Watson: on the roadside near entrance to farm of Mrs. George Lewis, Charlottetown Royalty West. Rare but at one time common. Probably introduced.
Sa/ix a/ba — Watson: on Brackley Point Road, 1 July 1901.
Sa/ix bebbiana — Macoun: 30 June 1888.
Sal/x ba/samifera — Macoun: swamps, Brackley Point, 7 July 1888. Watson: on side of North River Road, near “Queen's Arms, and on Royalty Road nearby.

Sal/X disco/or — Macoun: 30 June 1888; A. E. Gordon: at Montrose, 24 May 1894; Duncan; Clarkin: at Orwell etc.; Watson: in Victoria Park 1882; Charlottetown Royalty; Winter River; beside a brook at Campbellton Lot 4, etc. Very common in swamps, low meadows and damp places and along banks of streams.
Sa/ix humu/is — Duncan.
Sal/X lucida — Macoun: 1888, at Montrose and O’Leary.

Sorbus Americana — J. S. Gordon: at Alberton, 2 July 1891; Duncan; A. E. Gordon: in a swamp at Montrose, 12 June 1894; Churchill: on Tracadie sand dunes, 1901; Watson: on Mrs. George Lewis’ farm near North River, 1888; at Tracadie, 1901; Campbelltown, 1902 etc. Common, of small growth in damp woods.
Sorbus aucuparia — the European Mountain Ash. "Often planted; reported as escaped from cultivation in Prince Edward Island” B & B, l//. Fl. II. 233. I cannot positively deny or confirm this statement altho some trees at Tracadie seem to be this species.
Thu/a occidenta/is — J. S. Gordon: at Tignish, 3 Sept. 1891, a few groves on low wet, swampy places in Lots 3 and 4; A. S. Gordon: at Montrose 11 Aug. 1894; Duncan: in swamps in Prince County; Clarkin: in Prince County; Watson: large cedar tracts once yielded substantial revenue to landowners in Prince County, where only this tree is to be found, but nearly all the big trees have been cut down. An abundant growth, rarely exceeding ten or twelve feet in height, forms a distinctive feature in the landscape of middle and western Prince County. l am informed that a few tracts of large timber are being retained by their owner.
Tsuga Canadensis — Duncan: in hilly places, common in the southern parts of the Province. Watson: fairly common along roadsides and in growths of evergreen trees; seldom met with of large size.
U/mus Americana — Duncan: in the western parts of the Province. Watson: at Campbelltown. Not common.
