The Catalogue. 



EXPLANATION OF THE PLAN. 



Authorities. — In arrangement and nomenclature this list of plants 

 follows, as its standard of authority, the sixth edition of Gray's 

 Manual of Botany* The only exception in the general arrangement 

 is the placing of the Gymnosperms after the Monocotyledons. Four 

 names from the fifth edition of Gray's Mauual have been retained for 

 the purpose of making comparison (see pages 19-27) between this 

 flora and the Cayuga and the Buffalo floras ; these are as follows : 



Viola pubescens var. eriocarpa, Crataegus tomentosa var. pyrifolia, 



Potentilla Canadensis var. simplex, Polygonum dumetorum.

In order to make this list accord with the "new nomenclature' 



♦While recognizing the claims of the "New Nomenclature", the Committee desire to make 

 this paper immediately useful in the schools of western New York, and so feel compelled to adapt 

 it to the only text-book in botany now in general use. However, by including, in bracket-, tl f 

 names of the new system wherever they are different, it is hoped to make the publication up to 

 date in botanical science and yet at once available to all students in botany.
