The above estimates for the Eastern United States (E. U. S.) are 

 taken from Ward's " Flora of Washington" 



The woody plants including woody vines, such as Clematis and 

 Menispermum, and excluding, Chimaphila, Gaultiera, etc., are giv- 

 en below. Only so-called species are considered and are compared 

 with the numbers in Sargent's Forest Trees of North America, Vol. 

 IX, of the Tenth Census.

No attempt is made to compare the number of plants in our region 

 with that of the whole state. Dr. Torrey's last estimate, — about 1853, — 

 was 1537 species for the state of N. Y. ; but, considering the large 

 number of plants introduced since then, as well as the discoveries 

 of native species, and knowing that we cannot always rely on mere 

 printed reports, we do not think an accurate estimate can be made 

 except by some one who is personally familiar with the different sec- 

 tions of N. V. 



Explanation of the Plan of the Catalogue. 



1. Localities are given, so far as known, in case of "rare" or 

 "scarce" plants. 



2. Localities are occasionally given for species not rare. Such cases 

 are indicated by adding the words, " and elsewhere." 



3. The writer has in all cases endeavored to give proper credit in 

 the catalogue to the discoverer of a new plant or new station of a 

 scarce and rare plant whether the discoverer determined his plant or
