As mentioned in both editions of the Flora above referred to. so in 

 this, the third edition, much pains has been taken to examine authentic 

 specimens which are preserved in some herbarium. For thirty years, till 

 he resigned his position at the Agricultural College in 1902, Professor 

 C. F, Wheeler was a most diligent collector of plants in the State. He 

 kept full notes, not only of his findings but sought specimens and notes 

 from many others. 



In 1S88, Professor L. H. Bailey, C. F. Wheeler and the author accom- 

 panied by two students spent two weeks in collecting on a journey across 

 the State from Harrisvillo in Alcona county to Frankfort in Benzie 

 county. 



In 1S02. Professor Wheeler spent several weeks in the southeastern 

 and in the southwestern counties and in the Upper Peninsula nmking 

 collections for the exposition held in Chicago. In 1895, some Aveeks were 

 spent collecting in Alpena and vicinity, and later he and B. 0. Longyear 

 collected in Ingham. SVashtenaw. and Jackson counties. In the summer 

 of 1900 I'rofessor Wheeler spent about six weeks collecting at Chatham 

 and vicinity in the Upper Peninsula. 



Portions of every year since 1890 were occupied by Professor Wheeler 

 in making great numbers of short excursions in behalf of the herbarium 

 of the Agricultural College. During these years and previously, the 

 author collected considerable in the counties of Iosco, Clare, Crawford, 

 Grand Traverse, Lake. Muskegon, Calhoun, Eaton, Lenawee, Clinton, 

 Ingham. More particularly since 1890, numerous collections made by 

 others have been sent to the Agricultural College for identification and 

 for preservation in the herbarium. 



Notablv among these collectors must be mentioned Miss Emma J. Cole
