PREFACE. 



The scientific names in this Catalogue, to the end of the list of 

 Ferns, are in accordance with the nomenclature of Dr. Chapman's 

 Flora of the South ern United States. 



Of the Flowering Plants 147 are naturalized species. These are 

 indicated in the Catalogue by Italics. 



Among the Fungi, the species in Italic*, (over ]<><> in number), 

 are eatable Mushrooms. 



The division of the State into Botanical Districts, as explained in 

 the Introduction to the Woody Plants of North Carolina, is here 

 indicated by the abbreviations Low, Mid, and Up. Where a spe- 

 cies is found in all the Districts, the word Common is used. 



The name of a person put in brackets after any of the above ab- 

 breviations, as (Schw.) for Schweinitz, (Rav.) for Kavenel, <fce., in- 

 dicates that the plant is inserted on his authority for the locality. 



Special acknowledgments are due to W. S. Sullivant, of Ohio, 

 for his arrangement of my lists of Musci and Hepaticae, and for 

 valuable additions to them. Also, to Prof. Tuckerman, of Amherst 

 College, for like important service in the list of Lichens. Without 

 the aid of these skillful Botanists the catalogue of these Orders 

 would have been far less accurate and complete.
