PLANTS ADDED TO THE HERBARIUM 



The policy of giving a detailed list of all species mounted and 

 added to the state herbarium, which has characterized the State 

 Botanist's reports for many years, is now discontinued, and the 

 following list contains only the names of the species added to the 

 herbarium during 191 7 which were not hitherto represented in our 

 collections. Of the many species of flowering plants received, 

 which were new to our collections, only those from the northeastern 

 United States are listed.
