names of such botanists as are known to be interested in our state flora. 



Annual reports made b} r such local botanists would indicate the progress of 



the work.

The survey has received several hundred specimens representing 

 the flora of the state, and others have been gathered by Mr. Leon- 

 ard and Mr. Herrick, assistants on the survey. Nothing syste- 

 matic has been attempted in the way of identifications, but through 

 the kindness of others, chiefly Mr. 0. E. Garrison, of St. Cloud, 

 and Dr. A. E. Johnson, of Minneapolis, valuable assistance has 

 been rendered in determining our local flora.

Prof. N. H. WincheU : — I believe no attempt prior to this has 

 been made to collect and list the Mycologic Flora of Minnesota. 

 As a small contribution to the Natural History of Minnesota, I 

 present the following list of plants, in the Mycologic Flora of our 

 state, for such use as you may be pleased to make of it. 



The list has been collected mainly from Hennepin county ; some 

 from Anoka, Ramsey and Wright counties. 



I have placed the Gen. or Sub-Gen. before each species; as for 

 example, Sub-Gen. 1. Amanita. Hence, in reading Agaricus iagi- 

 natus, the word Amanita should be supplied thus: Agaricus (Ama- 

 nita) vaginatus. Bull. And so with all the species under each Gen. 

 or Sub-Gen. Following the specific name of the species are initials 

 or letters used by botanists to designate the name of the author of 

 the species, and immediately following is the common name of the 

 plant if it has received one ; then follow such words as, wood, woods, 

 ground, sticks, stumps, epiphytal, terrestrial, etc., indicating the 

 habitat, and lastly the month or months in which the plant is 

 found in our climate. If there is but one month named, the plant 

 has only been observed in that month, but if two months are 

 named, as June, Nov. the plant has been observed in both months 

 and most always during the interveningjaonths:
