LOCAL FLORA 



The Flower Table in the Museum Library 

 For the convenience of those who are interested in our local 

 flora we print below a list of the flowering plants brought to 

 the Museum during the spring. It was noted in the last issue 

 of the Bulletin that the Biological Survey was being extend- 

 ed by means of the flower table to include in a very informal 

 manner the flowering plants of the coast region, although the 

 Museum has as yet no organized facilities for botanical col- 

 lecting. 



Small's Flora of the Southeastern United States has been 

 adopted as the basis of nomenclature in this department of 

 the survey, and herbarium specimens, as well as systematic 

 card records, are preserved at the Museum. The librarian \A'ill 

 be pleased to receive flowers for identification and record until 

 August 1. 



As a first step toward the determination of periods of flower- 

 et ing the extreme dates on which flowers have been brought in 

 O'/ are noted for each species in the following fist. 

 I Pine Family. Pinus palustris, Long Leaf Pine. Feb. 28. 

 ^^ Arum Family. Ariscema triphyllum, Jack-in-the-pulpit. Mar. 25. 

 --J Orontium aquaticum, Golden-club. Mar. 10.
