XIX. THE UMBELLALES OF MINNESOTA. 



W. A. Wheeler. 



This catalog of the Minnesota Umbellales is a result of the 

 examination and redetermination of all the Minnesota specimens 

 in the University Herbarium. The largest family in the order, 

 the Umbellifera;, was in so confused a state before the publica- 

 tion of the monograph on the order by Coulter and Rose 1 that 

 it has been thought desirable to publish a revised list of the 

 Minnesota Umbelliferse based upon this monograph, and to in- 

 clude in the list the two other families in the order. 



Upham, in his catalog of Minnesota plants, lists five species 

 of Araliaceag, thirty-two species and varieties of Umbelliferse, 

 and eight species of Cornaceas.' 



The number of Araliaceae reported from Minnesota in this list, 

 as represented by specimens in the University Herbarium, re- 

 mains unchanged. 



Of the Umbelliferae there are in the University Herbarium 

 authentic Minnesota specimens of twenty-four species and va- 

 rieties, of which twenty-two are native and two are introduced. 

 One additional native species is represented by specimen in the 

 National Herbarium. Seven species and varieties reported by 

 Upham are not represented by Minnesota specimens, to the 

 author's knowledge, in any herbarium. The latter are there- 

 fore of doubtful occurrence. They are, however, listed here, 

 with an explanatory note to each, giving the authority upon 

 which the report is based. 



Of the eight species of Cornacese reported by Upham, six are 

 represented by specimens in the University Herbarium. One 

 has been added that was not included by Upham. There are, 

 therefore, seven species known to Minnesota. 



In this list individual collections are cited only where the 

 species is poorly represented by specimens from the state. The 

 citations of specimens from the National Herbarium have been 

 taken directly from Coulter and Rose.
