PLANTAE LINDHEIMERIANAE. 159 
SPECIES COLLECTED IN COMAL COUNTY AND REGION 
ADJACENT IN 1849-1851. 
In the following list the general sequence of orders is that 
of the published “ Plantae Lindheimerianae,”’ and the num- 
bers immediately succeed those of Part II, so as to secure 
general uniformity with that publication, of which this is a 
continuation. Each number represents a separate collection 
and, when the species is the same as that of a previous collec- 
tion, the number of such previous species follows in paren- 
thesis, those of the unpublished issues being preceded by III 
or IV to indicate the fascicle. After the specific name, is given 
Lindheimer’s collection number (L.),as these have been quoted 
in a number of publications from sets or specimens already 
distributed. The regularity with which he numbered his 
collections has made it possible to supply much of the missing 
data for each number, but all localities and dates thus supplied 
are given in parenthesis, so as to distinguish them from data 
found on labels. The references given are mainly to litera- 
ture where the specimens are quoted or the synonym men- 
tioned. The genus.Carex is strangely missing from this col- 
lection and it is probable that it was sent to some specialist 
and misplaced or forgotten, as Lindheimer was urged by Gray 
not to neglect this genus, as collectors are so apt to do. 
In this and the preceding lists I have used the term “type 
collection” to signify the collection from which the original 
description of the species was made; “co-type” or “co-type 
collection,” to indicate other collections quoted in this de- 
scription after that first mentioned; and the term “type lo- 
cality,” to indicate other specimens collected later at the 
locality from which the type collection came. 
New Braunfels, where most of the specimens were collected 
and where Lindheimer had his home, is at the junction of 
Comal Creek with the Guadalupe River, apparently called 
the Upper Guadalupe above this point, while Comanche Spring 
is on one of the heads of the Salado some 25 miles south of 
west of New Braunfels, and later known as von Meusebach’s 
farm.
