FLORA OF SOUTHERN IOWA. 



T. J. AND M. F. L. FITZPATRICK. 



The following notes are based upon collections in our pri- 

 vate herbarium. In point of time the period reaches from 1882 

 to 1897. The counties represented being- Decatur, Appanoose, 

 Wapello, Van Buren, Shelby, and Johnson, extended by occa- 

 sional collections from neighboring counties. 



The sedges were determined by R. I. Cratty, the grasses by 

 F. Lamson Scribner, and miscellaneous species by the officers 

 of the Missouri Botanical garden. 



To those who wish to obtain a more thorough knowledge of 

 the flora of southern Iowa we submit our results, hoping they 

 are worthy of consideration.
