INDEX AND GLOSSARY 



THE English, popular, or "common" names of plants 

 in this book are largely those given in Britton 

 and Brown's " Flora of the Northern United 

 States and Canada." When a flower has several of such 

 titles, either the most characteristic or the most familiar 

 has been used. 



As botanical nomenclature and spelling are undergoing 

 a transition period, the Latin equivalents are given accord- 

 ing to the code of Britton and Brown, together with 

 the variations of the Cyclopedia of American Horticulture, 

 edited by L. H. Bailey. The Cyclopedia will be the 

 standard for nomenclature in garden plants, but since the 

 present book deals primarily with wild plants, the Britton 

 and Brown system is used as the main reliance. 



When two botanical names are given, the second 

 one, in italic, is the Cyclopedic variation, and this is 

 usually, also, in agreement with the last revisions of Gray's 

 Manual and Gray's Field, Forest and Garden Botany. 



The figures in parentheses refer to illustrations.
