SYSTEMATIC LIST OF HARTSVILLE PLANTS.* 



PTERIDOPHYTA. 



Polypodiaceae 



Polypodium polypodioides (L.) Hitchc. Southern Polypody. 



Near Black Creek on Captain Cannon's Place. Frequent on 

 trees and old roofs. 



Pteris aquilina L. Bracken Fern. 



Burnt Bay, etc. Rather common near bays and branches. 



Woodwardia virginica (L.) J. E. Smith. Swamp Fern. 



South side of the lake above Prestwood's Bridge. Common in 

 swamps and bays. 



Woodwardia areolata (L.) Moore. Chain Fern. 



Occasional in rich damp places, as in Burnt Bay. 



Asplenium platyneuron (L.) Oakes. Ebony Spleenwort. 



On beams under Kil gore's Mill house. Railroad embankment 

 near the paper mill. Not rare. 



♦Exact locations as given in this list indicate the collection of specimens 

 at that point. With the exception of about ten all were collected within a 

 radius of two miles. 



The plants noted in this list have been mostly collected by me at odd 

 times for a number of years. Mr. Paul H. Rogers, my cousin, has been of 

 great assistance in securing many plants at seasons not covered by my 

 collections, and by picking up a number or rarer things. For his generous 

 assistance and unfailing kindness I wish to express my thanks. 



A large proportion of the collections were taken to the New York Botan- 

 ical Garden and there worked up. The majority of the plants were looked 

 over by Dr. J. K. Small of the Garden staff, whose assistance in determining 

 the species I gratefully acknowledge. 



To Dr. N. L. Britton, Director of the Garden, my thanks are due for 

 the determination of certain plants and for his generous extension of all 

 facilities. Prof. Ezra Brainerd, of Middleberg College, has been kind 

 enough to determine the violets, and Mr. W. H. Blanchard, of Vermont, the 

 blackberries. 



This list does not pretend to be complete, especially among the grasses, 

 sedges, and weeds. 



In the matter of nomenclature I have followed generally the seventh 

 edition of Gray's manual. So long as systematists are as far apart as at 

 present it is just as well in a report of this sort to follow the most available 

 and conservative book.
