[The herbarium (CDFM) at the Corner Brook office of the Canadian Forest Service, Atlantic Region, has two early records of Maianthemum racemosum from alder thickets in c/wNfld.: Lewis Hills (A.W.H. Damman, 1961) and Southwest Gander River (E.W. Howard, 1962). Bouchard et al., (1991) also list a report from Mollichigneck Brook, St. Georges (E. Rouleau 1962), and state that M. racemosum was relocated in 1986. Maianthemum racemosum was also located at Trout River Ponds in 1997 by A. Marceau and M. Burzynski; populations at Mollychigneck Brook and Trout River Ponds have been recollected several times since 1997 and appear to be thriving.]
