﻿. PLANTAE LINDHEIMERIANAE. 



159 



SPECIES COLLECTED IN COMAL COUNTY AND REGION 

 ADJACENT IN 1849-185L 



In the following list the general sequence of orders is that 

 of the published "Plantae Lindheimerianae," and the num- 

 bers immediately succeed those of Part II, so as to secure 

 general uniformity with that publication, of which this is a 

 continuation. Each number represents a separate collection 

 and, when the species is the same as that of a previous collec- 

 tion, the number of such previous species follows in paren- 

 thesis, those of the unpublished issues being preceded by III 

 or IV to indicate the fascicle. After the specific name, is given 

 Lindheimer's collection number (L.),as these have been quoted 

 in a number of publications from sets or specimens already 

 distributed. The regularity with which he numbered his 

 collections has made it possible to supply much of the missing 

 data for each number, but all localities and dates thus supplied 

 are given in parenthesis, so as to distinguish them from data 

 found on labels. The references given are mainly to litera- 

 ture where the specimens are quoted or the synonym men- 

 tioned. The genus Carex is strangely missing from this col- 

 lection and it is probable that it was sent to some specialist 

 and misplaced or forgotten, as Lindheimer was urged by Gray 

 not to neglect this genus, as collectors are so apt to do. 



In this and the preceding lists I have used the term "type 

 collection" to signify the collection from which the original 

 description of the species was made; "co-type" or "co-type 

 collection," to indicate other collections quoted in this de- 

 scription after that first mentioned; and the term "type lo- 

 cality," to mdicate other specimens collected later at the 

 locality from which the type collection came. 



New Braunfels, where most of the specimens were collected 

 and where Lindheimer had his home, is at the junction of 

 Comal Creek with the Guadalupe River, apparently called 

 the Upper Guadalupe above this point, while Comanche Spring 

 is on one ot the heads of the Salado some 25 miles south of 

 west of New Braunfels, and later known as von Meusebach's 

 farm.
