4 THE WEST VIRGINIA FLORA 



Southwestern Virginia and North Carohna in 1841, passed 

 through Jetierson County from Harpers Ferry to the Virginia 

 line. Akhough West Virginia plants are here and there credited 

 to them it is certain that they did not collect within the bor- 

 ders of the State. 



(6) Gr-w and Sullivant. Dr. Asa Gray and W(illiam) S(tarl.ing) 



Sullivant collected through the Allegheny mountains from 

 ^Maryland to Georgia in 1843. While I am unable to outline 

 their route with exactness, yet it is certain that they collected 

 along the old Staunton Pike, from Tygarts Valley through the 

 Cheat Mountains, via Cheat Bridge and Travelers Repose ; along 

 the upper reaches of the Kanawha River ; and at Big Spring 

 in Mercer County. Just how much material they collected in the 

 State there is no way of determining. Their plants are in the 

 Gray Herbarium of the Cambridge Botanical Gardens, Cam- 

 bridge, Mass. 



(7) I(sAAc) F(arwell)Holton collected extensively from Charles- 



ton, Kanawha County, to Hawks Nest, Fayette County, in Octo- 

 ber, 1849. The full number of plants collected by him is un- 

 known : 50 are in the Herbarium of the Field Museum of 

 Natural History. His private Herbarium was deposited in that 

 of Columbia University and is now at the New York Botanical 

 Garden. 



(8) Prof. W(illiam) H('enry) Brewer, while Professor of Botany 



at Yale, in 1860, made a collection of plants in Ohio County in 

 the vicinity of Wheeling, and Brooke County near Bethany. 

 The amount of material he secured is unknown to me; it is 

 deposited in the Herbarium of Yale University. 



(9) W(illiam) M(arriott) Canby, an extensive Botanical collector 



late of Wilmington, Del., made a small collection in Taylor 

 County, near Grafton, in 1868. The details of his collecting 

 in the State I have not been able to determine. His plants 

 are deposited in the Herbarium of the New York College of 

 Pharmacy. 



(10) J. S. Merriam made a collection of plants in Jefferson County in 



the vicinity of Harpers Ferry in 1871. The extent of his col- 

 lecting I have not yet been able to determine. His specimens 

 are deposited in the U. S. National Herbarium, Washington, 

 D. C. 



(11) Dr. T(imothy) F(ieed) Allen, of New York, collected in July 



1872, on Kates Mountain and at other points in the neighbor- 

 hood of White Sulphur Springs. His plants are deposited in the 

 Herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden. (See also Allen 

 and Britton). 



(12) J(oseph) F(rancis) James, of Ohio, spent about two weeks in 



1877, investigating the Flora of the region of the Guyandotte and 

 Great Kanawha Rivers from Huntington to Kanawha Falls and 

 the Hawks Nest ; and the region of Loup Creek, in Fayette 

 County. The amount of material that he collected is not 

 known to me. His plants are in the Gray Herbarium and the 

 Cryptogamic Herbarium at Harvard University.
