A LIST OF PLANTS COLLECTED AT FORT VERDE AND VICINITT AND 

 IN THE MOGOLLON AND SAN FRANCISCO MOUNTAINS, ARI- 

 ZONA, 1884-1888, BY DR. E. A. MEARNS, IJ. S. A. 



(With description of new species.) 



BY N. L. BRITTON. 



The collections here enumerated were sent by Dr. Mearns to 

 the American Museum of Natural History, and were thence re- 

 ferred to me for determination by Mr. L. P. Gratacap. A com- 

 plete set exists at the Museum, and another nearly complete one 

 has been placed in the Herbarium of Columbia College. A few 

 duplicates have been distributed. 



It is to be hoped that Dr. Mearns will continue his botanical 

 explorations; for in the recesses of the mountains of this portion 

 of Arizona there doubtless occur other species and varieties as 

 yet unknown to science. It is not likely that the following list 

 contains the names of more than one-third of the plants which 

 are to be found in the district. Dr. Eusby^s account of the gen- 

 eral floral features of the country, written from studies made by 

 him in 1881-1882, at the time he made his very extensive gather- 

 ings which contain so much that is novel and interesting, will 

 forcibly supplement my bare cataloguing of the species.
