It is a matter of regret, that the older botanists who were the 

 first collectors of this region, namely, Macrae, Robbins, Torrey and 

 Benedict, who collected here about the middle of the last century, 

 have so few authenticated specimens in herbaria, that due credit can- 

 not be given them. It is hoped that anyone having such specimens 

 or those of other collectors which are not fully credited, will inform 

 the author.
