SIX HUNDRED PLANTS OF GENERAL DISTRIBUTION 



IN OHIO. 



JOHN H. SCHAFFNER. 



A study of the plants in the Ohio State Herbarium shows 

 600 species to be of general distribution in the state. Most of 

 these are also common. The number of plants generally dis- 

 tributed is probably much larger, at least 1,000 species, but the 

 collections are still too imperfect to give complete data. 



Since the plants thus far collected and incorporated into 

 the herbarium are not at present kept in a fire-proof building, it 

 was thought advisable to publish the list in order that, in case of 

 accident or fire, the labor of so many botanists in the state might 

 not be entirely lost.
