PHANEROGAMIA. 
There is no complete Phanerogamic Flora of the United States. 
The Gamopetale have been completed in Gray’s “ Synoptical 
Flora of North America.” For the remaining flowering plants 
we must make use of the various local Floras, as follows: 
For the Northeastern United States (z.e., north of North Caro- 
lina and Tennessee, and west to the Missouri River), Gray’s 
“Manual of Botany.” For the Southeastern United States (ze., 
south of the preceding, and west to the Mississippi River), 
Chapman’s “Flora of the Southern United States.” Wood's 
“Class-Book” is intended to include all the Phanerogams of 
both the foregoing regions. For the region west of the Sierra 
’ Nevada Mountains, Watson’s “ Botany of California,” or Rattan’s 
“ Popular California Flora.” For the Rocky Mountains and the 
Plains, Coulter’s “ Manual of Rocky Mountain Botany.” Strictly 
speaking, Coulter’s Manual is intended to cover Colorado, 
Wyoming, Montana, Western Dakota, Western Nebraska, and 
Western Kansas, but its usefulness’extends a couple of hundred 
miles farther in every direction. The Great Basin of Utah and 
Nevada and the Arizona-Texas region have no manuals as yet. 
For these ae Soe Watson’ ee ss ge of the Known Plants of 
Nevada and Uta U. S. Geol. Explor. of the goth Parallel, 
vol. v.) and e $ Catalogue of the Plants collected in 
Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona” (U. S. Geog. 
Surveys West of the rooth Meridian, vol. vi.) will render good 
ice.
