"Plants in the Bayfield Area"
waii,-othe topic of Mr. and Mrs.
P la i gip DuBoulay, special
speakers at the monthly meeting
of the Bayfield Branch of the
Huron County Historical
Society. They were introduced
by Mrs. William Metcalf, Mr, and
Mrs. DuBoulay were residents of
Montreal until two and a half
years ago, when the moved to
Bayfield.
They began collecting plants
over 20 years ago, as a hobby of
mutual interest, and have
achieved considerable success.
They have collected for Sir
George Williams University and
for McGill, where Mrs.
DuBoulay was on staff in the
University Herbarium, Presently,
they are collecting for the
University of Waterloo. Their
own private collection consists
of 4680 specimens, over 200
species having been acquired in
.the Bayfield area.
On display at the meeting
were over fifty such specimens,
meticulously mounted and
annotated. Also, there was a
metal cylinder, approximately
two feet long and six inches in
diameter into which the plants
are , placed during their field
trips. Later, they are pressed,
dried, and then 'mounted as
illustrated by Mrs. DuBoulay. As
well, the DuBoulays had brought
their microscope, under which
the tiny , insignificant flower of
the mitrewort was incredibly
beautiful in design and colour.
Mr. DuBoulay listed the
Botanical Gardens of the world,
the earliest, Padua in Italy being
founded in 1545. He described
Kew Gardens in Surrey with its
288 acres; a library of 44,000
volumes; and a herbarium with
4,000.000 specimens. It has
been estimated that there are in
the world approXimately the
following number of plants:
Ferns and fern allies, 9,200
species; Coniferous, 700;
Dicotyledons, 160,000; and
Monocotyledons, 40,000.
All plants. can be identified,
he wexplained, through a Key,
which might comprise plants in
the Eastern half of North
America, or a single province, or
a county. The key might deal
only with trees; or winter twigs;
or ferns; or leaves; or colour of
flowers. There are also check
lists of plants found and
identified within a given area
such as a county, township, or
even your own garden. The
check list for Bruce Peninsula
contains about 900 species.
It was mentioned that there
are 11 fruits native to this area
which must have been
appreciated by the early
settlers—cherries, strawberries,
gooseberries, plums choke
cherries, grapes, elderberries,
raspberries, rose hips, crab
apples, and manu apples.
Another hobby which affords
the DuBoulays a great deal of
pleasure is bird—watching. Since
moving to the village, they have
identified and recorded 138
species of birds.
Mrs. A.S, Morton Who
presided at the meeting
expressed the appreciation of
those present to.

DuBoulay.
