784 REPORT OF NEW JERSEY STATE MUSEUM. 



A classic work, in which the flora of southern New Jersey figured 

 not a little, as Pursh was located at Philadelphia 1802-1805, and ap- 

 parently spent a good deal of time in exploring the wilds of New 

 Jersey. 



1818. NuTTALiv, Thomas. t The Genera of North American 

 plants, and a Catalogue of the Species to the Year 181 7. 

 Philadelphia, 2 Vols., I. i-viii + 1-312. II. 1-254. 



Nuttall was in Philadelphia 1809-1818, and many of the new species 

 described in his classic work were discovered on his numerous trips 

 through southern New Jersey. 



1818. Barton, Wiluam P. C.i Compendium Florae Philadel- 

 phicae, containing a description of the indigenous and 

 naturalized plants found within a circuit of ten miles around 

 Philadelphia. Philadelphia, 2 vols. 1-25 1, 1-234 pp. 



This is the first local flora covering any part of our region. It in- 

 cluded the shores of the Delaware from Paulsboro to Delanco, and 

 inland as far as Moorestown and Blackwood. 



This work has been freely consulted in the following pages, and 

 synonymy cited wherever New Jersey is explicitly mentioned. 



1819. ToRREY, JoHN.§ A Catalogue of Plants growing spon- 

 taneously within thirty miles of the city of New York. Al- 

 bany, N. Y., pp. i-ioo. 



Exact localities are not often mentioned in this work, and most state- 

 ments of distribution are so broad that it is not always clear whether 

 a species of rather general distribution occurs both in New Jersey and 

 New York or only in the latter. More explicit information is in many 

 cases to be found in the author's later Flora of the United States, 

 1824, Vol. I (all published).
