PREFACE 



In planning this local, floral catalogue I have carried 

 out Britton's arrangement of orders and genera as nearly 

 as seemed advisable. Commencing with the Ferns, continu- 

 ing through the flowerless plants to those of higher order. 

 Throughout, prioHty in nomenclature with dates have been 

 carefully studied as revised by scientists of today and en- 

 dorsed by the Torrey Club, so far as I have been able to ob- 

 tain them. Where such priority is given, the name under 

 which the plant was first identified by members of the 

 Syr. Bot. Club are indicated by the use of italics, with their 

 dates. Also the much required common names and 

 one locality with environment for each species is 

 given, with date of finding. I am indebted to Mr. Fred 

 Wheeler and Mr. Geo. Morris for the partial list of Onon- 

 daga's fungi, which with my own collection, form only a 

 portion of those found here. I have used them as authority 

 in quality, with Chas. H. Peck, "State Botanist," and Chas. 

 Mcllvaine, author of "One Thousand American Fungi." 

 Those marked Ed. are considered edible. Those marked P 

 are considered poisonous. Those without a mark are doubt- 

 ful.
