Plants Plandomenses, or a Catalogue of the Plants 

 growing spontaneously in the Neighbourhood of Plandome, 

 the Country Residence of Samuel L. Mitchill. By 

 Caspar Wistar Eddy, Student of Medicine. 



New-York, August 28th, 1807. 

 Dear Sir, 



IN compliance with your request, I enclose you a cata- 

 logue of the plants I collected in the vicinity of Plandome, 

 during my late visit there. 



The assistance you afforded me during my botanical ex- 

 cursion, and the polite attention I received from your fa- 

 mily during my stay at Plandome, demand the warmest ac- 

 knowledgments from 



Your obedient servant, 



CASPAR WISTAR EDDY. 

 To the Hon. S. L. Mitchill, M. D. &c. 



[This catalogue gives a good idea of the indigenous ve- 

 getable productions not only at the place specified, and its 

 neighbourhood, but also on the whole north side of Long- 

 Island, and the maritime parts of New-York. The species 

 omitted or overlooked would readily be found and inserted 

 by the indefatigable collector in a few more excursions. 

 The present enumeration may be considered as a prelude to 

 a more enlarged list of the native plants growing within 

 eight or ten leagues of New- York, which is now preparing. 

 And what adds to the correctness and value of the present 

 list is, that a specimen of each individual has a place in the 

 rich Herbarium of the author.] Edit.
