RKPOitT OF THE BOTANIST. 



S. B. WOOLWOETH, LL.D., 



Secretary of the Board of Regents of the 



University of the State of New Yorli, : 



Sir. — The following report of work done during the year 1869, 

 toward perfecting the State Herbarium, is respectful ly submitted : 



Since the date of \x\j last report, specimens of four hundred 

 and twenty-two species of plants have been poisoned, mounted and 

 placed in the Herbarium, three hundred and fifty-four of which 

 were not before represented in it. Sixty-eight are varieties previously 

 unrepresented, or better specimens than had before been obtained. 

 A list of the names is given in a paper marked (1). 



Specimens have been collected in the counties of Albany, Rensse- 

 laer, Saratoga, Warren, Hamilton, Lewis, Oneida, Otsego, Schoharie, 

 G-reene, Putnam and Orange, representing three hundred and one 

 species new to the Herbarium, two hundred and ninety-nine new to 

 the State and eighty-seven new^ to science, two of them representing 

 two new genera. A list of these is given in a paper marked (2). 



Specimens have been contributed, or obtained by exchange or in 

 naming, which were collected in the counties of Suffolk, Richmond, 

 New York, Westchester, Rockland, Ulster, G-reene, Oneida, Onon- 

 daga and Erie. Of these, seventy-eight are new to the Herbarium 

 and not among my collections of the past season, seventy-six are 

 additions to the flora of the State and three are new species. If 

 these be added to the collected species, the total becomes three hun- 

 dred and seventy-nine new to the Herbarium, three hundred and 

 seventy-five new to the State, and ninety new species.
