A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE BOTANY OF NEW YORE 
SLATE 
One of the signs of progress in botany is the increasing attention 
given to the study of local vegetation and its ecological relations. 
A local flora has been published for nearly every section of the 
State in addition to a large number of county and sectional floras, 
which for the most part are exceptionally complete. The number 
of published papers dealing with various phases of local botany in 
this State is very large and one of the disadvantages to be encoun- 
tered in the study of local flora problems is the difficulty of locating 
quickly the references to the published literature dealing with a 
given locality or section. 
The bibliography here presented aims to group the titles bearing 
upon the subject in such a manner as to show the nature, quantity 
and authorship of the various studies upon the flora of the State 
and its natural and political subdivisions. 
Citations dealing with economic. botany (agriculture), plant 
pathology and forestry have been for the most part omitted, although 
it is obviously difficult to draw a line of distinction, especially where 
record is made in such articles to native species of fungi or flower- 
ing plants constituting an original observation or addition to the 
flora of some section of the State. Upon this ground alone have 
several titles dealing with plant pathology, agriculture and forestry 
been admitted. 
Since the aim of this bibliography is to present the citations by 
localities rather than by authors, the arrangement takes the follow- 
ing order: 
1 New York State in General 
2 State Botanist’s Reports 
3 Adirondack Mountains 
4 Catskill Mountains 
5 Central New York 
6 Hudson River Valley 
7 Long Island 
8 Susquehanna Valley 
9g Western New York
