A CATALOGUE OF ALL Pil^ENOGAMOUS PLANTS AT PRESENT KNOWN TO 



GROW WITHOUT CULTIVATION IN THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT; 



BY JAMES N. BISHOP, PLAINVILLE, CONN. 



Dedication. — To the venerable Charles "Wright of Wethersfield, this 

 catalogue is dedicated as a slight token of my love, appreciation, and 

 friendship for so earnest and zealous a worker in the science of Botany. 



The Author. 



The object of the following catalogue is to present a complete .list of all 

 the flowering plants growing without cultivation in this State; and being 

 the first efforts toward a complete list of our flora, will not be thought by 

 botanists to be entirely without interest or value. 



It includes many facts not yet in possession of the public, and such as 

 would perhaps never be put on record in any other form. 



The arrangement of the genera and orders are mainly from a translation 

 of the more advanced work of Messrs. Bentham & Hooker's " Genera 

 Plantarum." 



In the preparation of this catalogue the author has availed himself to a 

 considerable extent of the labors of others. He has made free use of 

 the "Berzelius catalogue of plants growing within thirty miles of Yale 

 College." 



To the following named gentlemen his thanks are due, having received 

 material aid from them in new stations, specimens, and, in some instances, 

 new plants: Nathan Coleman, Esq., Berlin; Charles Wright, Esq., Weth- 

 ersfield; Dr. H. C. Beardsley, Painesville, Ohio; Prof. Wm. R. Dudley, 

 Cornell University; Theron Piatt, Esq., Redding; Geo. R. Case, Esq., 

 and Dr. Wm. C. Bennett, Danbury; Rev. Thomas Morang, Ashland, 

 Mass; Hon. T. S. Gold, West Cornwall. 



He is also indebted to Profs. Gray, Goodale, and Watson of Harvard 

 University; Dr. Geo. Thurber, New York; Prof. D. C. Eaton, New 

 Haven; Dr. Geo. Vasey, Washington, who have pronounced upon doubt- 

 ful specimens. 



The author urgently requests that those who discover errors in the 

 present list, or new plants or stations, will kindty inform him of such 

 discovery, in view of a future edition of this catalogue.
