U THE WEST VIRGINIA FLORA 



Redfield in the herbarium of the Philadelphia Academy of 

 Sciences. 



(21) DR. AUG(USTINE) D(AWSON) SELBY, Botanist of the Ohio Agricul- 



tural Experiment Station, collected plants in 1885 to 1887 in his 

 neighborhood while Superintendent of Schools at Huntington, 

 Cabell County. He also extended his plant observations up the 

 Kanawha River as far as Kanawha Falls in Fayette County. 

 His plants are in his private herbarium. 



(22) S(AMUEL) B(OARDMAN) BROWN, Professor of Geology, West Vir- 



ginia University, formerly Principal of the Normal School at 

 Glenville, collected a large number of plants in Berkeley and 

 Gilmer counties from 1885 to 1890. Of these he preserved about 

 100 specimens which are still in his possession. 



(23) (CHARLES) DAVID WHITE, Geologist of the U. S. Geological Survey, 



while engaged in paleobotanical collection in various portions of 

 the State from 1886 to 1894, collected a few recent plants, princi- 

 pally ferns ; these are deposited in the U. S. National Herbarium, 

 Washington, D. C. 



(24) Miss VERONA MAPEL, then Preceptress of the High School at Glen- 



ville, Gilmer County, collected largely in her immediate neigh- 

 borhood from 1888 to 1901. Her material, consisting of about 

 355 species (not including common weeds nor the grasses and 

 sedges), is deposited in the herbarium of the school mentioned. 



(25) DR. ROSENCRANS WORKMAN, a Physician at Bayard, Mineral County, 



collected a representative series of the flowering plants of his 

 immediate neighborhood from 1888 to 1891. His material (which 

 he loaned me for examination in 1891) is in his private pos- 

 session. 



(26) WINFIELD E. HILL, notes in "Garden and Forest" (Vol. 3 : 182-183, 



1890), a few plants from Fairview, Hancock County, observed 

 in 1889. Whether he has preserved a collection of plants from 

 his region I am unable to determine at this writing. 



(27) DR. H(AMILTON) MCS(PARRIN) GAMBLE, a Physician at Moorefield, 



Hardy County, did considerable herbalizing in connection with 

 zoological field work in the valley of the South Branch of the 

 Potomac River, and its water shed in Hardy, Grant, Mineral and 

 Hampshire counties from 1889 to 1910. He donated his plant 

 collection of 157 species (in 1891) to the herbarium of the West 

 Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, at Morgantown, where 

 it is now deposited. 



(28) M(ERTON) B(ENWAY) WAITE, Pathologist, Bureau of Plant Indus- 



try, U. S. Department of Agriculture, spent about a week, in 

 1889, in Fayette and Greenbrier Counties, in the collection of 

 parasitic fungi. He secured about 300 numbers at Kanawha Falls 

 and about 200 at White Sulphur Springs. As his plants were 

 distributed in the herbarium of the Bureau, unlisted, they are 

 unfortunately unavailable for this publication. In 1911 he col- 

 lected a few numbers of like material in Berkeley County, near 

 Gerrardstown ; and Morgan County, at Sleepy Creek, Paw Paw 

 and Hancock. His plants are deposited, as above indicated, in 

 the herbarium of the U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry.
