Abstract
Newfoundland’s west coast has long been a center of attention for taxonomists and botanists interested in floristic and phytogeographical studies because of its peculiar flora. The importance of this area was first recognized by Fernald (1911, 1926, 1933) in the early part of this century. His pioneering explorations led to many important discoveries and resulted in two landmark papers concerning the phytogeography of the region of the Gulf of St Lawrence (Fernald 1924, 1925).
