FOOD-PLANTS OF LEPIDOPTERA. 



I)V WiM. HeI'TTKNMI'LLEK. 

 (NO. I. HYPERCHIRIA. lO.) 



I offer the following- paper as one of a series on the food-plants of 

 Lepidoptera, which though perhaps by no means perfect, may be 

 relied upon as having been the result of my own personal observations, 

 and which will, I trust, derive value in the eyes of entomologists from 

 the care and accuracy with which those observations have been made. 

 The imported plants mentioned in the list are all to be found in cul- 

 tivation in Central Park, New York.
