ROSE—MEXICAN AND CENTRAL AMERICAN PLANTS. 983 
In September and October the plant life was at its best, at which 
time plain and mountain are covered with flowers, in strong contrast 
with the desolation of May and June. It is not surprising, therefore, 
that we reaped an abundant harvest. The herbarium material collected 
embraces about 2,000 numbers (nos. 6451-8221). The collection is a 
general one, embracing nearly all groups, but especially those in which 
I have been carrying on particular work, such as the Crassulaceae, 
Cactaceae, Umbelliferae, ete. 
Besides this herbarium material more than two hundred species of 
bulbs, roots, and succulents were sent to Washington. Many of these 
have flowered, and most of the others are now in good condition. 
Many have been distributed to other institutions, and a considerable 
number of the succulents can still be obtained by applying to the 
Department of Agriculture. The accompanying list, while it consists 
mostly of my introductions of 1903, also includes some obtained pre- 
viously, but not heretofore reported, or in which the names have been 
corrected. 
It is not claimed that all these plants are new introductions, but 
many of them are. In many cases my material came from the type 
localities of rare species, while not a few, especially of the succulents, 
are entirely new to science.
