FLORA OF MOUNT DESERT.
LEONURUS, L. MOTHERWORT.
L. CARDIACA, L. COMMON MOTHERWORT.
Waste places and by dwellings; rare. Tarr Valley, near Fer-
nald Point (Annie S. Downs);—Oak Hill; Sargent Cove
(Rand). Adventive from Europe.
GALEOPSIS, L. HEMP NETTLE.
G. TETRAHIT, L. COMMON HEMP NETTLE. [illegible]
A common weed in waste places and in cultivated grounds.
Said to be naturalized from Europe, but appearing indigenous,
at least in northern New England.
STACHYS, L. HEDGE NETTLE.
S. ARVENSIS, L. WOUNDWORT.
Rare. Field, Bar Harbor (Mary Minot). Adventive from
Europe.
PLANTAGINACEÆ. PLANTAIN FAMILY.
PLANTAGO, L. PLANTAIN.
P. MAJOR, L. COMMON PLANTAIN.
Fields and waysides; very common. Commonly naturalized
from Europe. This plant, however, is found all over the Island
in many places so remote from dwellings or cultivated grounds
as to lead to the inference that it may be also indigenous.
Thick-leaved saline forms are frequent on sea beaches. Little
Harbor; Little Cranberry Isle (Redfield);—Great Cranberry
Isle (Rand).
P. LANCEOLATA, L. RIBGRASS.
Waysides and grass lands; formerly rare, but of late years
becoming more common. Mill Cove; Little Harbor; Southwest

P. DECIPiens, Barn. SEA PLANTAIN.
Very common in salt marshes, on beaches, and among rocks
on the shore.
