The herbaceous plants of the woods undoubtedly pre- 

 sent to us the best illustration within the park area of 

 the general character of the growth upon the forest floor 

 in the primeval forests of this region. The list of species 

 encountered during a single excursion through the woods 

 of the "big basin" is arranged in systematic sequence, 

 with the most abundant species printed in heavy type. 

 The numerous small brooks with their moist or wet de- 

 pressions alternating with drier shoulders of the surround- 

 ing slopes produces localized colonies of plants the com- 

 position of which would demand more detailed treatment 

 than space permits here.
