124 " KANSAS 'ACADEMY OF SCIENCE. 



Mr. J. Henry of Salina and Mr. B. B. Smyth of Great Bend have fur- 

 nished some plants, and the names of others. I have found some not hith- 

 erto reported among plants collected by Prof. Snow in W. Kansas. Mrs. 

 Jewell of Irving has given me a pretty full list of the plants of Marshall 

 county. 



Two young men of Miami county, Dr. J. H. Oyster of Paola and Mr. 

 H. Hutchinson of Fontana, are studying thoroughly the botany of that 

 county. Mr. M. H. Panton of Junction City, now of Clay Center, has 

 studied pretty thoroughly the botany of Davis county, and given me the 

 result of his observations. 



E. N. Plank, Esq., of Independence, Montgomery Co., has become well 

 acquainted with the plants of that county, and has contributed largely to the 

 present addenda. 



Miss E. F. Randolph of Pardee, Atchison county, has given me a few 

 names. 



Mrs. Jewell has given considerable time to the Fungi of Kansas, and sent 

 me the names of the genera, so far as known. 



In giving names of species not in any books within my reach, and in 

 determining specimens unavoidably imperfect, I have been aided by Mr. E. 

 Hall of Athens, Ills., and by Prof Alphonso Wood of New York city, 

 whose labors as an explorer and a teacher of botany have just been brought 

 to a close. I feel his departure as a personal loss. I believe Prof. W. was 

 the first to prepare for students a Botany arranged on the Natural System. 

 His synopses of the larger genera gave his work a value beyond any other 

 that I have known. 



I have carefully compared the cultivated Jerusalem artichoke, Helianthus 

 tuherosus, with the wild Helianthus doronicoides, and found no difference, 

 except that I found the tubers of the latter very small. When I first saw 

 the latter in Kansas, I thought it was the former, and was disappointed in 

 not finding tubers. I have not always found them the past year. 



I mark with a star (*) plants introduced, and with a cross (f) plants not 

 found east of the Mississippi. I omit the names of the orders.
