Supplement. 



That portion of the Catalogue which includes the names of 

 our phaenogamous plants was published early in the summer of 

 1882. Circumstances, for which the compiler and his associ- 

 ates in charge of its publication are in no degree responsible, 

 have operated to prevent the appearance of the remainder of 

 the work until the present time. This delay, however, has 

 proved to be not altogether without compensations and advan- 

 tages. By reason of it the opportunity has been given to bring 

 the list much nearer completeness than otherwise would have 

 been possible. Omissions, attributable to inadvertence or mis- 

 understanding, have been supplied, doubts in respect to various 

 questions have been settled, and the addition made of more 

 than seventy-five phaenogams which were then unknown as 

 members of our Flora. 



In fact, after the introduction to the Catalogue was in print, 

 and whilst the list of phaenogams was in the hands of the 

 compositor, several species were, for the first time, detected 

 within our territory, the names of which were at once assigned 

 to their proper places in the list. Hence the -discrepancy, 

 (observed no doubt by many) between the number of the species 

 of several genera, as stated in the introduction, and the number 

 of the same as shown in the Catalogue itself. The preceding 

 " Tabular View " has been designed to correct this discrepancy 

 and display at a glance the numerical proportion which the 

 species and genera of each family of our plants bears to our 

 entire Flora. 



The compiler has great pleasure in acknowledging the im- 

 portant kindness received by him from Judge Clinton, who, 

 with no little labor, prepared and placed at his use a list of
