while the remainder of the State ranges from 700-1,100 feet above sea level. A 

 single instance illustrates the point. Solidago la'ifoUa L. is found abundantly 

 throughout the State, with the exception of the extreme southwestern counties. 

 It is found, however, in the higher land a little to the west in Illinois, and a little 

 to the south. Other forms occur which indicate that even a slight change of 

 elevation may at times enter as a very positive factor in distribution. 



I ask the botanists of the State in their future study of composite forms to 

 devote more time and care to ecologic observations, since by this means only can 

 our State Hora be made of such nature as to be readily correlated with work done 

 in other parts of the country. Many. lists are a weariness to the flesh, but ecologic 

 facts do good as a medicine.
