LIST OF TREES AND SHRUBS INCLUDED IN THE KEY 



This list of Nantucket trees and shrubs does not 

 presume to be complete. It will have served a purpose if 

 it should stimulate readers to find additions to the list. 



Assistance In many determinations of species has 

 been given by Dr. Lyman Smith of the Gray Herbarium, 

 Harvard, Mr. E. J. Palmer of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard, 

 and Mr. S. N. F. Sanford of the Museum of Natural History, 

 Boston. Through the determinations of these scientists 

 the list has far exceeded the first expectation and gives 

 an Index of the extensive and varied plantings which have 

 been made on the Island during the last century, Never- 

 theless this result is incidental to the original purpose 

 of the publication-. --that of offering a non-technical Key 

 by which the non-botanist could become acquainted with 

 Nantucket's trees and shrubs. 



I have not Indicated the native and the introduced 

 species in the list. I have, however, starred all those 

 species which were in Bicknell ' s list of Nantucket plants, 

 1908-1919, and I have double- starred those which Bicknell 

 called introduced species. The remainder are, by infer- 

 ence, introduced since Bicknell' s time.
