used for pasture, or where they can be easily drained for culti- 
vation, though they are of course in constant danger of being 
flooded. Under these conditions there are but few wet meadows 
which have retained their original vegetation. Many of them 
under continual pasturing have grown up to coarse weeds and 
grasses. ‘The greatest variety of plants is found where the wet 
meadow has been used asa hay meadow. This offers more 
nearly the natural conditions for such plants as Lz/iwm cana- 
dense (Plate XXVII., A). Habenaria leucophea, Pedicularis 
lanceolata, Saxifraga pennsylvanica, Chelone glabra, Parnas- 
sta caroliniana, Onoclea senstbilis and many others in the list. 
The plants which grow in the wet meadows are: 
Angelica atropurpurea, Lythrum alatum, 
Aster nove-anglia, Macrocalyx nyctelea, 
Aster prenanthoides, Mimulus ringens, 
Aster puniceus, Onoclea senszbilis, 
Aster sagittifolius, Parnassia caroliniana,

MoIsT Woops VEGETATION. 
As previously stated the most typical moist woods vegetation 
is to be found on the north banks of the table lands. The tim- 
ber on the banks has much of it been left uncut and offers the 
very best conditions for the survival of moist woods vegetation. 
In the list of moist woods plants here given are included only 
those collected or noted from a single location in Winnebago 
valley. It is a bank about one-half a mile long bordering on 
the table land for the greater part of its length. Some of the
