"These vines, fonnei'ly rarely seen in Gass County, are now very 

 common alonji' the maruins ot the Wabash River, covering shrubs and

Should the nomenclatni'e of Britton's Manual, 1901. be generally 

 adopted, many new species would be added to the flora of the State, since 

 in that work any I'ecognizable plant segregate is given specitic rank. No 

 sweeping changes should be made, however, until there has been sufficient 

 time to judge as to whether the species there announced are possible of 

 recognition except by the compai'ative methods of a great herbarium.
