1879. | Ln North America from 1635 to 1840. 767 
tion of Florula Bostoniensis appeared in 1814, the third in 1840, 
and his American Medical Botany, 1817—1821, in three volumes 
with sixty colored plates. 
William Baldwin, born in Pennsylvania 1779, collected in 1811,_ 
in Delaware, then in Georgia and Florida, and went, 1817, to 
Buenos Ayres, in South America. He died on the 31st of Au- 
gust, 1819, as a member of Major Long’s first expedition, in 
Missouri. Darlington published, 1843, Reliquiæ Baldwiniane. 
This expedition, by order of the Government, under the command 
of Major Long, started from Pittsburg in April, 1819, and pro- 
ceeded the same year up the Missouri to Council Bluffs, where 
they wintered. Dr. Baldwin, the botanist of the expedition, sick 
already when the party set out from Pittsburg, died in Franklin, 
Mo., and Edwin James took his place, who compiled the account 
of the expedition in two volumes, 1823; the same year it was 
published in London in three volumes.. The party started again 
on the 6th of June, 1820, from Council Bluffs, moved up the 
Platte river and examined the mountains from the South fork of 
the Platte to the Arkansas. Dr. James ascended the grand peak 
described by Major Pike in an account of his expedition in the 
years 1805-1807, which furnished no botanical matter. This 
peak is, in the narrative, calied James’ Peak; Fremont after- 
wards changed it to Pike’s Peak, although Pike had only seen it 
and James was the first that ascended it. In returning, one part 
of the command followed the Arkansas river, the other the Cana- 
dian river. The catalogue of the collected plants, 500 to 600 
species, was published by James, in 1825, in the Transactions of 4 
the American Philosophical Society, 11, 172-190. James died 
1861, near Burlington, in Iowa; he was born in Vermont, 1797. 
In the period from 1820 to 1830 several Florz of more or less 
limited parts of the United States were published. The best 
known are: Botany of South Carolina and Georgia, 1821-1824, in — 
two volumes, with twelve plates, by Stephen. Elliot, professor in 
Charleston, where he died 1830; the Flora of the Northern and — 
Middle States, by John Torrey, 1824, and the Flora Cestrica (of 
Chester county, Pa.), 1826, by William Darlington, who lived 
from 1782 to 1863, and published the third edition of his Flora 
in 1853.
