Contributions to the Flora of Iowa — No. III. 



BY J. C. ARTHUR. 



The following accessions have been received since the publication in 

 March, 1877, of my first list of additions.* They have been verified by 

 the examination of specimens sent by those reporting the names. I am 

 indebted for all but ten names to Geo. D. Butler, of Almont, Clinton 

 County, Dr. Geo. E. Ehinger, of Keokuk, E.. Burgess, of Ames, E. W. 

 Holway, of Decorah, Dr. J. J. Davis, late of Vinton, and Prof. C. E. 

 Bessey, of Ames. I desire to gratefully acknowledge their kind consid- 

 eration in furnishing specimens, and the interest they have taken in 

 extending the list of the State flora.
