ADVERTISING PAGES

It is a question if there has been another subject on earth that has been as bunglingly 

 worked as the subject of mycology. I attribute a great part of this to the pievailing system of 

 adding an author's name to that of the plant. It serves only to gratify the vanity of writers 

 who like to see their names in print, and results in a great deal of bad work. As I am not pub- 

 lishing an advertising paper, I have declined, in considering only plants, to insert these free 

 advertisements. To atone for my failure in this regard, however, I am willing to devote a few 

 pages in the indices of volumes to advertisements, and even to make them display adver- 

 tisements. 



A much more sensible thing than to write authors' names after plant names would be to 

 -write the country in which the plant grows, if it is necessary to write anything other than a 

 binomial as a plant name. Where I am concerned in the following list, I have added only the 

 country. 



In making the list I give the advertisement to the author who proposed the specific 

 name adopted. To put his name in parenthesis and add the name of the individual who 

 shuffled it around to another genus is not only useless but exceedingly harmful in developing 

 a class of generic name shifters, who work only with this object in view. To substitute for 

 the first author the name of the second is purely a fraud. 



I have written this list chiefly from memory, for I do not consider it of enough im- 

 portance to put much labor on it, if it involved looking up the authorities. I think it is correct, 

 but if there are any errors, they are mistakes of memory. I would not intentionally cheat any 

 one out of his advertisement, so dear to the breasts of mycological writers in general. 



In the following list, those plants so closely related to others that they are belter called 

 varieties or forms are indicated by a *. Species that are very doubtful and, probably largely 

 imaginary, I have indicated with a f-
