 and H. H. Eaton, A. M. Transylvania Journal of Medicine and the Asso- 

 ciated Sciences. Vol. IX, 1831, p. 69. 



An annotated list (pp. 70-73) of fifty species of plants noticed in

 ton, Ky., to the southern portion of Ohio (vicinity of Cincinnati). Many

A Catalogue of Plants growing spontaneously in Franklin Co., Central 

 Ohio, excluding grasses, mosses, lichens, fungi, etc. By John L,. Riddell, 

 A. M. The Western Medical Gazette, Vol. II, No. 3, July, 1834, pp. 

 116-120. 



The plants enumerated (317 species) are "arranged under the natural 

 orders approved by Prof. Lindley." Those not native, but naturalized, 

 are marked with a star. The habitats are given for most of the species. 

 The plants were collected during the autumn of 1832, and the spring, 

 summer and autumn of 1833.

Synopsis of the Flora of the Western States, by John i,. Riddell. 

 Western Journal of the Medical and Physical Sciences. Vol. VII, No. 



XXXI (Second Hexade, Vol. II, No. Ill), Jan., 1835, pp. 329-374; No. 



XXXII (Second Hexade, Vol. II, No. IV), April, 1835, pp. 489-556. 

 The region to which this synopsis or catalogue is intended to apply, 



"embraces Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, West Tennessee, and Mis- 

 souri, a small part of Virginia and Pennsylvania, and of the Michigan, 

 Northwest and Missouri territories." The plants of Ohio, unless other- 

 wise accredited, have been personally observed and collected by the 

 writer (John L- Riddell). "The philosophic method of Prof. Lindley is 

 observed in the arrangement." The species are numbered serially, and 

 include flowering plants (1-1724); equiseta (1725-1731); ferns (1732- 

 1769); lycopodaceae (1770-1774); mosses (1776-1785); hepaticae (1786- 

 1789); characeae (1790-1794); and lichenes (1795-1802). The list is 

 preceded by four pages of prefatory remarks, and followed by an index to 

 the genera, of four pages. Stations are given, also time of flowering, color 

 of flower, height of plant, duration of existence (by signs) and the 

 habitats.
