Opportunity for learning the following names came during 

 field work for the U. S. Biological Survey. On a trip for the same 

 office, Mr. C. P. Alexander paid some attention to local plant 

 nomenclature and his results also are incorporated in the following 

 text. The list is indexed so that it may be used as an appendix 

 to other glossaries.
