Notes on the Flora of Iowa. 



By B. SHTMEK. 



The following paper contains a number of additions to the 

 published lists of the flora of Iowa, together with notes on the 

 occurrence in new localities of species already listed. 



The notes are based wholly on material in the Herbarium 

 of the State University of Iowa which was contributed by the 

 following named persons: Professors T. H. Macbride, A. 

 S. Hitchcock, and T.J. Fitzpatrick; Messrs. J. H. Mills, R. 

 I. Cratty, Fred. Reppert, E. W. D. Holway, John E. Cam- 

 eron, Charles Atwood, Henry L. Berry, C. W. Weidner, and 

 Paul Bartsch; Hon. B. F. Osborn; Misses Mary F. Linder, 

 Mabel Berry, Minnie Howe, and Lucy M. Cavanagh; the 

 pupils of the Oskaloosa High School through Professor Stover; 

 and the writer. Where the collector's name is not mentioned 

 in connection with the locality the specimens were collected 

 by the writer. 



A list of species, long known to the collectors of the State, 

 is here included for the purpose of adding more exact infor- 

 mation concerning geographical distribution within the State. 



The object of this list is to add, if possible, to the knowledge 

 of the plants of the State, not to the volume of the nomencla- 

 ture literature. Therefore, without regard to the present 

 controversy, the nomenclature of the latest edition of Gray's 

 Manual is followed, as the plants will readily be recognized 

 by the names therein given.
