About a month ago, a botanist whose name I don't recall posted an inquiry for Nova Scotia sites for Canadian Burnet (Sanguisorba canadensis or Bottlebrush). I was visiting the Fortress of Louisbourg recently and noticed a large field full of this plant on the Battery Road, just past the end of the village. The road splits and the left fork is Battery Road. The right fork goes to the Fortress visitor centre. Flora of Nova Scotia indicates the plant is widespread in northern Cape Breton. I've also seen it in the roadside ditch near the start of the Cape Split Trail, though that was a few years ago. I also noticed stands of Angelica, a large umbellifera which is all over the place at the Fortress, and also widespread on Isle Madame and the St. Peter's area. Apparently the French planted it originally. Janet McGinity
