Niehols, G. E., The Vegetation of Connecticut. (Torreya. 

 XIII. p. 89-112. 1 map. 5 phot. May 1913.) 



The Vegetation of Connecticut is considered as to its phyto- 

 geographic, or floristic aspect, that is, the ränge of the plants is 

 discussed. Reference is niade to the inliuence of the Glacial Period 

 in the distribution of the species. A list of the coastal piain species 

 found east of the Connecticut River, one of those that extend 

 into the river valle}^ proper and one of plants which includes plants 

 which occur locally in other parts of the State, especially in the 

 southeastern section are given b\^ way of illustrating the origin of 

 the floral tN'pes. The map illustrates the location of the white cedar 

 swamps and the location of the highlands, lowlands and morainic 

 deposits on Long Island. 



The forests of the State of the sprout hardwood t^^pe are considered 

 in detail, it being shown, that the State occupies a transitional area 

 between the north and the south where both boreal and austral 

 forms can find favorable environmental conditions. Nearly 70 plants 

 of northward distribution reach their southern limits in" the State and 

 80 species of southvvard ränge, here reach their northern limit in 

 the east. Other lists of swamp, sea beach, sea dune plants are given 

 in the consideration of the geographic character of the flora. Exen- 

 tricities of distribution, such as that of Diospyvos virgiuiana, are 

 discussed. Harshberger.
