98 THE AMERICAN MTDLAND NATURALIST 



censured as new-fangledness and as evidence of the wickedness of 

 the times! That the barriers have broken down of late the number 

 of new species and varieties enumerated in this list is sufficient 

 evidence: Brainerd i var., Brenckle i var., Greene 14 species, 

 Greenman 1 sp., Lunell 57 sp. and 100 var., Nelson isp. and 2 var. 

 and Nieuwland 1 sp. The types of a plurality of the most 

 remarkable of these new plants are in my herbarium and will 

 not be set free until the State of North Dakota carries out 

 some certain obligations entered into by its politicians, or my 

 herbarium gets a permanent repository in some other state. The 

 originally estimated total species and varieties in this list has been 

 exceeded by about one hundred numbers.
