North American Flora 



'^pHIS work is designed to present descriptions of all plants growing, 



1 independent of cultivation, in North America, here taken to include 



Greenland, Central America, the Republic of Panama, and the 



West Indies, except Trinidad, Tobago, and Curasao and other islands off 



the north coast of Venezuela, whose flora is essentially South American. 



It will be published in parts at irregular intervals by the New York 

 Botanical Garden through the aid of the income of the David Lydig Fund 

 bequeathed by Charles P. Daly. 



It is planned to issue parts as rapidly as they can be prepared, the 

 extent of the work making it possible to commence publication at any 

 number of points. The completed \vork will form a series of volumes 

 with the following sequence: 



Volume I. Mycetozoa, Schizophyta, Diatomaceae. 



Volumes 2 to 10. Fungi. 



Volumes 11 to 13. Algae. 



Vvlumes 14 and 15. Bryophyta. 



Volume 16. Pteridophyta and Gymnospermae. 



Volumes 17 to 19, Monocotyledones- 



Volumes 20 to 30. Dicotyledones. 



The preparation of the work has been re'"erred by the Scientific Direc. 

 tors of the Garden to a committee consisting of Professors L. M. Under- 

 wood and N. L. Britton. 



Professor George F. Atkinson of Cornell University, Professors Charles 

 R. Barnes and John M. Coulter of the University of Chicago, Mr. Fred- 

 erick V, Coville of the United States Department of Agriculture, Pro- 

 fessor Edward L. Greene of the United States National Museum, Pro- 

 fessor Byron D. Halsted of Rutgers College and Professor William Tre- 

 lease of the Missouri Botanical Garden have consented to act as an advis- 

 ory committee. 



Each author will be wholly responsible for his own contributions, 

 being restricted only to the general style adopted for the vvork, which 

 must vary somewhat in the treatment of d. verse groups. 



The subscription price is fixed at ^r.50 for each part; it is expected 

 that four or five parts will be required for each volume. A limited num- 

 ber of separate parts will be sold at $2.00 each. Address,
