such pha?nogams as he had found within our limits, but which 

 had not been named in the Catalogue. They are now embraced 

 in this Supplement. To the localities of some of the rarer and 

 more interesting plants he also made a large and valuable con- 

 tribution. 



Probably the most interesting addition now made to our list 

 of plants is of that remarkable orchid, Epipactis Helleborine, Irm., 

 found within the limits of our city, in July, 1882 : — its second 

 discovery in America. But, without doubt, the very large 

 addition of adventives, detected near the cattle yards at East 

 Buffalo (chiefly from the far west), will arrest the attention of 

 botanists and excite their surprise. Among these aliens arc 

 man}- plants of especial interest. 



In this connection it may be said that of the 1,295 species 

 and varieties of phaenogamous plants, now enumerated as 

 belonging to Buffalo and its vicinity, i,ori are indigenous to 

 the soil, and 284 have been introduced, inadvertently or by 

 design. 



The names of two species, only, require to be dropped from 

 the Catalogue, as having been improperly included : — Cam- 

 panula glomerata, L., (for which an aberrant form of C. rapuncu- 

 loides, L. had been taken), and Melica mutica, Walt. Both these 

 species had been named, with great hesitation, as members of 

 our Flora. 



These and other errors, more or less important, will be found 

 corrected in the following list : but those which have seemed 

 unlikely to mislead the student have not been noticed. The 

 names of all genera and species included in the Catalogue hav- 

 ing numerals affixed to them, reference to errors is made by such 

 numbers rather than by page and line: — the more common, but, 

 in the present instance, the less convenient way. 



During the year 1882, attempts were made, in the interests of 

 botanical science, to introduce into the vicinity of Buffalo, by 

 seed or otherwise, the following named plants : — 



Clematis verticillata , DC. /'//Am panu ///,//a, I.. 



Diplotaxis tenui folia, DC. A triplex rosea, I.. 



Anychia dichotoma, Michx. Amarantus viridis, L.
