published revisions of a few of the more difficult groups. The order 

 of arrangement is as nearly as possible that of Gray's Manual, sixth 

 edition, selected only as a matter of convenience to those for whom 

 this list is principally intended. The writer, being in the fullest ac- 

 cord with the nomenclature of the most recent authors, all are urged 

 to acquire the " new names " at the earliest moment. To aid in this, 

 the names used in Britton ^^ Brown's Illustrated Flora of the Northern 

 States and Canada are employed, those of (jray's Manual, where 

 synonyms, being in italics. The numbers succeeding the natural order 

 are those employed by Britton <S: PJrown, and may serve as a guide to 

 the arrangement of an herbarium in accordance with the accepted 

 classification, the greater divisions being indicated by the Roman 

 numerals, as follows : 



I. Pteridophyta. 

 II. Gymnospermas. 



III. Monocotyledones. 



IV. Chloripetalae. 

 V. Gamopetalce. 



The arrangement will at once be understood. No attempt at 

 localizing the species is made except where it is considered rare and 

 has been found but once or twice.
