NOTES ON OUR LOCAL PLANTS 273 
synonymy of modern names, it was thought better to include 
such quotations as correctly as possible, and so it was found 
necessary to go over the whole nomenclatorial part of the list a 
second time at no inconsiderable inconvenience and loss of time. 
References to other works more or less embracing in a general 
way our locality were made. Principal among these works are 
the following: Coulter, S., Cat. Flowering Plants of Ind., (1899); 
Higley, W. K. and Raddin, C. S., Flora of Cook Co., Ill. and Part 
of Lake Co. Ind., (1891); Smith, E. F. and Wheeler, C. F., Flora 
of Mich., (1881); Wilson, G. W., New and Little Known Members 
oi, indiana Blora, Prov. Ind. Acad. Sc; (1905); -Deam;, C.-C. 
Report of State Board of Forestry, (1911). Mr. Chas. Deam has 
also kindly sent me lists of plants collected in his botanizing 
trips over the region. Use has also been made of plants deposited 
in the U. S. National Herbarium and principally the collection 
given by Mr. Evermann, from the country about Lake Maxinkuckee. 
It is impossible to give a nomenclatorial list of works consulted 
as it would run into the hundreds, even thousands, of volumes. 
A sufficient synonymy quotation in reference under each name 
will, however, supply this want. Whatever nomenclatorial diffi- 
culties may be suggested to us will later be discussed in footnotes 
under the particular plant names that demand explanation of 
an applied principle not yet explained.
