CENTENNIAL CATALOGUE OF THE PLANTS OF KANSAS. 



BY PROF. JAMES H. CARRUTH, OF LAWRENCE. 



It is not supposed that the botanical survey of Kansas is by any means complete. 

 Not including the Cryptogamia below the Filices, Porter & Coulter's Flora of Colorado 

 contains the names of about 1,050 species; Colman's catalogue of Michigan Southern 

 peninsula, 1,375. Wood's Class-Book gives east of the Mississippi, including the South 

 Atlantic and Gulf States, about 3,900. I have understood that Prof. Aughey, of Lin- 

 coln College, Neb., has a catalogue for that State of about 1,600. This may include the 

 lower Cryptogamia. Probably we have in Kansas 1,200 to 1,500. We already have the 

 names of about 1,080. Of these I have seen about 900. We have more to do. But, it 

 being the centennial year, it has been thought advisable to have a centennial catalogue, 

 including the species already known. I have not seen all of which I give the names, but 

 shall give none of which I do not think I have reliable information. In such cases I 

 shall give the names of my informants. Many of those heretofore given on the au- 

 thority of others I have my,self since seen, and give them as of my own knowledge. 



OBSERVERS. 

 I have not traveled widely, but have been greatly aided by the observations of others. 

 Before 1871, Mr. E. Hall, of Illinois, journeyed in Kansas, and published his observa- 

 tions. Prof. Snow, of the State University, and his students, have had their eyes open, 

 and seen many plants. W. H. Saunders, M. D., recently of Lawrence, has reported a 

 goodly number. In 1874 and 1875, L. Watson, M. D., sent me 400 to 500 species, often 

 many specimens of each ; a few this year. Mr. J. Henry, of Salina, sent me in 1875 

 about 150 species. Mr. E. A. Popenoe, of Topeka, has traveled in western Kansas, and 

 reported quite a number. Prof. Mudge has sent some species. In 1876, W. S. Newlon, 

 M. D., of Oswego, sent me abaut 200 ; a few in 1875. Mrs. Jewell ( Miss E. C.Wright), 

 of Irving, has sent several, and reported more. In 1874, Miss M. P. Wright, of Bur- 

 lington, brought me about a dozen, four of which I had not seen here. I am indebted to 

 Mr. James Wilson, of Leavenworth, for specimens of nearly all the ferns hitherto found 

 in Kansas. A few other names will be found in the catalogue.
