REPORT OF THE BOTANIST. 
S. B. Wootworrng, LL. D., 
Secretary of the Legents: 
Sir.—Since the date of my last report, specimens of three hundred 
and twenty-four species of plants have been poisoned and mounted, 
three hundred and sixteen of which were not before represented in 
the Herbarium. For want of room in the Herbarium case, only a 
part of these have been placed therein. A list of the specimens 
’ mounted is marked (1). 
Specimens have been collected in the counties of Albany, Alle- 
gany, Cattaraugus, Essex, Orange, Putnam, Rensselaer, Schuyler, 
Seneca and Wayne, representing two hundred and twenty-two 
species new to the State. Of these, one hundred are regarded as 
new or undescribed species. A list of specimens collected is marked 
(2). This does not include new varieties and duplicate specimens of 
species before reported. Of these, a considerable number of speci- 
mens have been collected. 
Specimens representing thirty-one species new to the State, and 
not among my collections of the past season, have been received from 
correspondents. They were collected in the counties of Dutchess, 
Erie, Greene, Kings, Suffolk, Rockland and Ulster. If these be 
added to those of my own collecting, the total number of additions 
to the flora of the State, the past season, becomes two hundred and 
fifty-three species. This number is smaller than those of previous 
years, and having been attained without any diminution of diligence 
or relaxation of effort, it indicates considerable progress toward the 
full representation of our flora by specimens in the State Herbarium. 
A classified statement of the number of added species is given 
below:
