THE FLORA OF SCOTT AND MUSCATINE 

 COUNTIES. 



BY VV. I). BARNES, MORGAN PARK, ILLINOIS.

This enumeration of plants is compiled from a herbarium collected 

 during ten years of field work ending with the year 1889. 



As the woods of Scott county have nearly all been pastured, plants 

 of a retiring disposition are fast disappearing, though occasionally 

 found in Princeton township, Allen's Grove, Hickory Grove, and 

 along the Wapsipinicon. 



The change is not so noticeable in Muscatine count)-. The (lora of 

 Wild Cat Den is of special interest as it includes many rare species, 

 some of which have not been reported from any other part of the 

 state. As ponds are numerous near Muscatine and along the Cedar, 

 aquatic plants are more abundant in this county than in Scott. 



In both the native prairie plants and many introduced species are 

 found along railroad tracks. 



The authors wish to make grateful acknowledgments of the valuable 

 assistance freely given by Prof. L. H. Bailey of Cornell, who deter- 

 mined the Carices; Prof. L. H. Pammel of Iowa Agricultural College, 

 who determined the Grasses; Prof. E. J. Hill of Chicago, who deter- 

 mined troublesome Asters and furnished descriptions of his new oak 

 and thistle ; and also of the timely helps given in various ways by 

 Professors McBride and Shimek of the State University of Iowa, C. 

 R. Ball of Iowa Agricultural College, R. I. Cratty of Armstrong, 

 Iowa, Agnes Chase of Chicago, Dr. Radenhausen of the Davenport 

 High School, Supt. F. M. Witter of Muscatine, and other co-workers. 



The nomenclature of the Sixth Edition of Gray's Manual has been 

 followed throughout, except in the genus Carex, in which the names 

 enven by Prof lave been retained.
