TWEyTY-SEVEXTII ANNUAL MEETING. I33 



ADDITIONS TO THE PLANTS OF KANSAS. 



BASED ON PLANTS ADDED TO THE KANSAS STATE HERBARIUM. 



By B. B. SMYTH. 



Very little opportunity has been given the writer during the past two 

 years to travel over the state making collections of its plants. Attention, 

 however, has constantly been paid to it,' and additions of hitherto unreported 

 plants made to the state herbarium whenever anything new was offered. 

 The following new plants have been added: 



2638. Lepidium draba L. Emporia, Paola, etc. Sent by Miss Queen Gil- 

 lett. 



2639. Astragalus higelovii Gray. Trego county. Sent by J. A. Rich. 

 2640. Astragalus elatiocarpus Sheldon. Manhattan. Collected by the 



writer. A variety undoubtedly of A. lotiiiorus. 



2641. Lespedeza leptostachya Gray. Shawnee county. By the writer. 



2642. Psoralea pedunculata Vail. Shawnee county. Recognized in Shaw- 

 nee county for the first time. Hitherto collected by the writer in Stafford 

 county under the name of P. melilotoides. 



2643. Vernonia noveboracensis, var. latifolia Gray. Shawnee county. 



2644. Aster commutata Gray. Barton county. Collected some years ago. 

 and previously undetermined. 



2645. Aster grandiflorus L. Morainic hills of Shawnee county. Collected 

 by Professor Harshbarger and the writer. 



2646. Aster longifolius Lam. Low grounds of Shawnee county. Collected 

 by Prof. W. A. Harshbarger and the writer. 



2647. Aster polyphyllus Willd. Shawnee county. By the writer. 



2648. Aster vimineus, var. foliolosus Gray. By Professor Harshbarger 

 and the writer.

2649. Collomia giliopsis Benth. Trego county. Collected by J. A. Rich. 



2650. Plantago occidentalis Dec. Shawnee county. Collected by W. A. 

 Harshbarger. 



2651. Polygonum ramosissimum, var. prolificum Small. Shawnee county. 

 By the writer. 



2652. Planera aquatica Gmel. Southern Kansas. Coulter in Cont. U. S. 

 Nat. Herb., II. 



2653. Lachnanthes tinctoria Ell. Oswego. Sent by Doctor Newlon. 



2654. Physcomitrium hookeri Hampe. Manhattan. Professor Kellerman 

 and Miss Reed. 



2655. Physcomitrium kellermani Mrs. B. Shawnee county. Collected by 

 the writer and determined by Miss Minnie Reed. 



2401. Climacium dendroides Web. & Mohr. Shawnee county. Collected 

 by the writer and determined by Miss Reed. 



2401. Climacium americanum Brid. Shawnee county. Collected by the 

 writer and determined by Dr. G. N. Best. These two plants are the same. 

 C. americanum is ordinarily regarded as a variety of C. dendroides. Dr. 

 Best's determination is therefore probably correct, while Miss Reed's name 

 is not wrong.
