REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST 1901 



To the Regents of the TJrwversity of the State of New York 



I have the honor of submitting to you the report of work done 

 in the botanical department of the state museum during the 

 year 1901. 



Specimens of plants for the herbarium have been collected in 

 the counties of Albany, Essex, Franklin, Eensselaer, Warren 

 and Washington. Specimens have been received from corres- 

 pondents, either as contributions or for identification, that were 

 collected in the counties of Albany, Columbia, Chautauqua, 

 Essex, Franklin, Herkimer, Monroe, Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, 

 Schoharie, St Lawrence, Warren and Washington. The number 

 of species of which specimens have been collected and added to 

 the herbarium is 374. Of these, 57 were not before represented 

 in it. Of the newly represented species, 37 are found in the 

 collections of the botanist, 20 in those of his correspondents, and 

 of the whole number, 16 are considered new to science and are 

 described as such in the following pages. All of these are 

 fungi and with one exception belong to the collections of the 

 botanist. Specimens of the remaining 317 species make the 

 representation of these species more complete and satisfactory. 

 Of these, 282 belong to the collections of the botanist and 35 to 

 those of his correspondents. A list of the names of the added 

 species is marked A. 



The number of those who have contributed specimens for the 

 herbarium or for identification is 34. Of these, 14 have sent 

 extralimital specimens. A list of the names of the contributors 

 and of their respective contributions is marked B.
