Flora of the Southeastern United States f 



In the presentation of this mammoth contribution to the litera- 

 ture of southern botany, Dr. Small has rendered science an in- 

 valuable service and the student of the flora a much needed and 

 most welcome publication. For more than four decades the 

 field has been covered and studied mainly through the medium 

 of Dr. Chapman's most admirable Flora of the Southern United 

 States, but in recent years, to keep pace with the great activity 

 in taxonomic botany, the many changes which have been sug- 

 gested in generic limitations and particularly the changes incident 

 to the adoption of the newer classification, sytematic arrangement 

 and nomenclature, it has been necessary to consult the files of 

 numerous periodicals and books, the extent of which is seldom 

 found outside of the largest libraries. It is to those who have 

 labored under such difficulties that this volume of nearly fourteen 

 hundred pages will most strongly appeal. The extension of the 

 range in the present work, which includes also the region lying 

 between the Mississippi River and the one hundredth meridian 

 south of the northern boundaries of Arkansas, Indian Territory 

 and Oklahoma, will add commensurately to its value.
