1 62 VERMONT FLORA. 



list just mentioned has been freely consulted and so 

 much of it as seems best has been incorporated in 

 that which follows. The extensive herbarium of the 

 late Prof. Joseph Torrcy has also furnished material 

 aid in the present list A list of the Cryptogamous 

 plants of the state, including, thus far, the Acrogens, 

 has been published during the past year in tliis Jour- 

 nal by Mr. Chas. C. P>ost of Brattleborough, and to 

 the kind assistance of this gentleman, who has for quite 

 a number of years studied the Flora of this state, much 

 that is of value in this list is due. And the writer 

 takes pleasure in acknowledging that, although he 

 has collected and studied by far the larger part of the 

 species here given, yet the assistance derived from 

 the sources mentioned has been so great, that it is 

 proper for him to claim but a small share of what- 

 ever credit may be due the work. 



A full exhibit of the synonymy of each species has 

 been deemed unnecessary but, when synonymcs have 

 occured which are of nearly equal authority as the 

 name adopted, such arc given in connection with it. 

 Popular names of such species as have received them, 

 are given but no attempt has been made to furnish 

 common names for plants that have none. Intro- 

 duced species are indicated by a star (*), and syno- 

 nymcs by smaller type. If any one who may meet 

 with this list has any corrections or additions to offer, 

 they will be most thankfully received.
