CHECK LIST OF OHIO SHRUBS. 



John H. Schaffner. 



A check list of Ohio trees was piibhshed by the writer in 

 Februar3% 1908, (Ohio Nat. 6 ;457). The present compilation 

 is along the same lines and especial care has been taken to give 

 what at present seems to be the most appropriate English name, 

 in the hope that soms progress will be made in establishing a 

 definite system to be used in the state. 



The larger, tree-like shrubs have already been listed in con- 

 nection with the more typical trees; they are, therefore, not 

 included here. The lianas and half shrubs are also excluded. 

 The introduced species are indicated by the letter I after the 

 English name. Of the 127 species listed below, 103 are native 

 and 24 are introduced.
