Wyeth, Florida by Ware and his florula Ar- 

 kanzica — Besides my own florulas Mandanen- 

 sis, Texensis, Oregonensis, Arkanzica, Oliicn- 

 sis, Missourica, &c. But the number of mere 

 Catalogues has been much more numerous ; 

 they are of course superficial and full of mis- 

 taken plants or names yet they have been use- 

 ful in enlarging our views of the range of plants, 

 and the localities of the rare ones. They be- 

 gan last Century by Muhlenberg flora Lan- 

 caStriensis, and Cutler of Massachusets full of
