34 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 
— for the Garden was the private herbarium of Dr. 
eorge Engelmann, which was presented by his son, in 
1889. The Engelmann herbarium contains many forei 
plants, but it is particularly rich in plants collected on the 
early government surveys in the western and southwestern 
parts of the United States. Dr. Engelmann’s exceptionally 
active career brought him in close relation with the leading 
botanists of his time in this country and abroad for a period 
of approximately fifty years. Moreover, he was constantly 
exchanging material with co-workers and correspondents, he 
pequensy, purchased sets of rare plants for his herbarium, 
and, like Dr. Asa Gray, he was always fostering botanical 
exploration in various parts of the United States. His 
private herbarium numbered approximately 100,000 speci- 
mens. It would be impossible in a short article to enu- 
merate all the individual collections represented, but a few of 
the more important may be mentioned, as follows:
