A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE BOTANY OF NEW- YORK 



STATE 



One of the signs of progress in botany is the increasing attention 

 given to the study of local vegetation and its ecological relations. 

 A local flora has been published for nearly every section of the 

 State in addition to a large number of county and sectional floras, 

 which for the most part are exceptionally complete. The number 

 of published papers dealing with various phases of local botany in 

 this State is very large and one of the disadvantages to be encoun- 

 tered in the study of local flora problems is the difficulty of locating 

 quickly the references to the published literature dealing with a 

 given locality or section. 



The bibliography here presented aims to group the titles bearing 

 upon the subject in such a manner as to show the nature, quantity 

 and authorship of the various studies upon the flora of the State 

 and its natural and political subdivisions. 



Citations dealing with economic botany (agriculture), plant 

 pathology and forestry have been for the most part omitted, although 

 it is obviously difficult to draw a line of distinction, especially where 

 record is made in such articles to native species of fungi or flower- 

 ing plants constituting an original observation or addition to the 

 flora of some section of the State. Upon this ground alone have 

 several titles dealing with plant pathology, agriculture, and forestry 

 been admitted. 



Since the aim of this bibliography is to present the citations by 

 localities rather than by authors, the arrangement takes the follow- 

 ing order: 



i New York State in General 



2 State Botanist's Reports 



3 Adirondack Mountains 



4 Catskill Mountains 



5 Central New York 



6 Hudson River Valley
