Abstract
We report a disjunct colony of the provincially rare Dulichium arundinaceum (Three-way Sedge) from an isolated bog on Black Island in Lake Winnipeg, M anitoba. Occurrences of several provincially rare, vascular plant species o n Lake Winnipeg islands suggests that they may be ecological refuges for ra re plants. The islands are in need of careful botanical study.
