T The name ‘white maple’ is also used in a non-list context by Chappell (1775-1818) (in 1801 ), Lewellin (1832 and in evidence to the Land Commission (1875); ’curled maple’ by Chappell (1775-1818) (in 1778); ’rock-maple’ by Lawson (1851); ’sugar maple’ by Selkirk (1803) and Anon. (1818); and ’moosewood by Rowan (1876).

t l have assumed that a comma has been left out of Johnstone’s (1822) ”white rock or curly, and bird-eye [maple]" and that it should be "white, rock or curly, and bird-eye”.

1i The part of the list of [Watson?] (post 1904) that contained the maples is missing.

* McSwain & Bain (1891) give Latin names only: Acer Pennsylvan/‘cum, A. spicatum, A. saccharum, A. rubrum, while [Bain] (1882) uses the name ’Pennsylvanian maple’ as the common name for Acer pensy/vanicum. These have been placed in rows for the standard common names.
