246 The Botanical Gazette. [August, 
Notes on the flora of Chicago and vicinity. 
E. J. HILL. 
From time to time the writer has furnished the BOTANICAL 
GAZETTE with lists of plants from the neighborhood of Chi- 
cago, and especially from the adjoining pine-barren region of 
northwestern Indiana, accompanied by such notes upon them 
and their distribution as seemed desirable. The present notes 
are in continuation of this work. Some of the plants to be 
noticed have already been mentioned in Higley and Raddin’s 
“Flora of Cook county, Illinois, and a part of Lake county, 
Indiana,” which appeared in the spring of 1891. Some have 
been detected since that time.
