seaside knotweed, sea purslane, sea poppy, New England aster 

 and Scotch thistle. The island is still wooded with the magnifi- 

 cent first-growth oak and beech forests: interposed with high 

 rolling plains and rich luxuriant lowlands, side by side. 



Roy A. Latham of Orient, from May 25, 1909, until the present 

 time, collected the following plants: and many of the specimens 

 passed through my hands while in the State Botanist's office at 

 Albany, New York. The major part of the species here listed 

 were collected between Orient and Greenport; where much of 

 the region remains in its original state. A few of the best of the 

 specimens are preserved in the New York State Herbarium; 

 some of the poorer ones were saved; "scrappy" ones were con- 

 signed to the waste basket; and several fungi were left unnamed 

 or in doubt. 



The arrangement of the list accords with Dr. Smith Ely 

 Jelliffe's, The Flora of Long Island, 1899. The nomenclature 

 of the Myxomycetes follows Dr. Thomas H. Macbride's, North 

 American Slime-Moulds; and that of the Algae, Dr. Bradley 

 M. Davis's, A Catalogue of the Marine Flora of Woods Hole 

 and Vicinity. The nomenclature of the Fungi in most instances 

 follows P. A. Saccardo's, Sylloge Fungorum: and the authors 

 are under great obligation to Dr. Charles H. Peck, State Botanist 

 of New York, for helping solve many difficult problems among 

 the Higher Basidiomycetes. The nomenclature of the Lichens 

 conforms with a modification of the Nylander system; that of 

 the Hepaticae, follows Dr. A. W. Evans: and that of the Musci, 

 Dr. A. J. Grout's, Mosses with Hand-lens and Microscope. 

 The nomenclature of the ferns and flowering plants follows the 

 last edition of Dr. N. L. Britton and A. Brown's, An Illustrated 

 Flora of the Northern States and Canada. 



It has seemed best not to arrange the long list of cryptogams 

 according to families and increase the length of this article: 

 but to list the species under botanical orders alphabetically. 

 The ferns and phanerogams are arranged according to families: 

 but the species are listed in alphabetical order.
