"M. D.,"says: "Your correspondent, 'H. H.' will find Aralia (panax) quinquefolia under the forest trees on the well-known Goat Island at Niagara Falls. . I saw quite a number of specimens of the plant whilst visiting there about the first of August, last year. It is to be hoped that Goat Island's new owner will allow these and all other wild things to remain, including of course the erect and fallen trees and shrubs as well as the herbaceous stuff that belongs beneath them. I may as well mention that another Aralia, the species nudicaulis - wild sarsaparilla - is very abundant in the woods about Rochester, N. Y., and near it, in one particular forest, I remember, the diminutive and pretty Onagraceous plant, Circeae alpina, which I believe is not to be met with near Philadelphia".
