PREFACE. 



The scientific names in tliis (Jataloguc, to tlio cjid of tlic list of 

 Ferns, are in accordance with the nomcnclatnve of Dr. C]i;i])iii:in's 

 Flora of the Southern United States. 



Of tlie Flowering Plants 147 are naturalized species. These arc 

 indicated in the Catalogue hy Italics. 



Among the Fungi, the species in Italics, (over 100 iu niinil>ej), 

 are eatable Mushrooms. 



The division of the State into Eotani(;al Districts, us explained in 

 the Introduction to the Woody Plants oe JSToeth Carolina, is here 

 indicated by the abbreviations Low, Mid, and Dp. Where a spe- 

 cies is found in all the Districts, the word L'tinnnoii is uscil. 



The name of a person put in brackets after any of the above ab- 

 breviations, as (Schw.) for Scliweinitz, (Rav.) for Ravenel, A;c., in- 

 dicates that the plant is inserted on his authority for the locality. 



Special acknowledgments are due to W. S. SuUivant, fif (^hio, 

 for his aiTangement of my lists of Mrsci and Hepaticae, and for 

 valuable additions to them. Also, tf) Prof. Tnckerinan, of Amherst 

 College, for like important service in tlie list of Lichens. Without 

 the aid of these skillful Botanists tlie catalogue of tlicse fh-ders 

 would have been far less aeeurate and complete.
