* FACTS AND OBSERVATIONS TOUCHING THE FLORA OF THE 

 STATE OF NEW-YORK. 



BY CHARLES H. PECK. 



In undertaking a Avork hitherto performed by another, it is my 

 purpose to follow mainly the plan adopted by him. 



It is with pleasure that I acknowledge my indebtedness to him 

 for a considerable portion of the material for this Report ; also 

 to Profs. A. Gray and L. Lesquereux for aid in authentically 

 determining difficult species, and to Messrs. C. F. Austin and E. 

 C. Howe for liberal contributions of facts and specimens. 



It is very desirable that those who may discover within our 

 limits, species, or even well marked varieties, new to the State, 

 should forward good specimens of their discoveries, that a sample 

 of the plant and the name of its detccter may go into the State 

 Herbarium together. All such contributions will be duly acknoA\ 1- 

 edged. 



In the following list, when no name is annexed to the station 

 or stations, the plant has been found therein by the writer.
