AN ENUMERATION OF THE PLANTS COLLECTED 
Ba opie. Ci MOTHY. Bo WILCOX, U.S As AND 
OTHERS IN SOUTHEASTERN ARIZONA 
DURING THE YEARS 1892-1894. 
By N. L. Brirron anp T. H. Kearney, JR. 
The plants enumerated in this list were collected in the neigh- 
borhood of Fort Huachuca, by Dr. T. E. Wilcox, and about 
Fort Apache, by Mrs. Capt. R. W. Hoyt. A few were collected 
near San Carlos and in Tanner’s Canon, by Dr. R. G. Ebert, U. 
S. A. Where no locality and collector is mentioned, it is un- 
derstood that the plant was obtained by Dr. Wilcox, near Fort 
Huachuca. The greater part of the collection of 1892-93 was 
made by Dr. Wilcox, and was sent by him to the Herbarium of 
Columbia College. Further collections were made by Dr. Wil- | 
cox in 1894 and were deposited in the United States National 
Herbarium. These have been submitted to us for determination 
by Mr. F. V. Coville and have been included in the present enu- 
meration. 
The Graminez of the entire collection have been determined 
by Prof. F. Lamson-Scribner, whose valuable notes and descrip- 
tions add much to the interest of the list. Part of the collec- 
tions of 1892 were named by Mr. Henry Kraemer, of Columbia 
College. To Dr. B. L. Robinson, we are indebted for the privi- 
lege of comparing some of the more difficult species with the 
types preserved in the Herbarium of Harvard University. 
Despite the fact that the flora of this part of Arizona Territory 
has been much-explored, the present collection is of considerable 
interest. It contains many rare and little-known plants, a num- 
ber of species new to the United States and a few that are new 
to science. It is to be hoped that the collectors will have an 
opportunity to continue their valuable contributions to our 
knowledge of the plant-life of this region.
