Victorin’s gentian COSEWIC assessment and status report: chapter 16

Collections Examined

The only herbarium collection consulted to compare specimens of Victorin’s gentian was that of the Marie-Victorin Herbarium, located at the University of Montreal’s plant biology research institute [Institut de recherche en biologie végétale] in Montreal.

The fieldwork was carried out in the summer of 2002, on August 10 at the Pointe Saint-Vallier population at Saint-Vallier and the Anse chez Porteous population at Sainte-Pétronille, on August 29 at the Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures population, on June 15 and August 30 and 31 at the Saint-Nicolas population, and on September 7 at the Montmagny and Saint-Jean-Port-Joli populations.  Efforts to locate the historic populations of Neuville and Cap-Rouge were made on September 8, 2002, those of Pont-Rouge on June 15 and August 29, and those of Beauport and Sillery on August 30.
