The fifth edition of Gray’s Manual was no doubt one of the 
authorities relied upon by Bruhin in his compilation. In that 
edition A. Tradescanti stood for A. vimineus Lam. (a species the 
typical form of which is of doubtful occurrence in this state); 
A. simplex for A. paniculatus Lam.; and A. aestivus for A. junceus 
Ait. A . graminifolius is now placed with Erigeron under the name 
of E. hyssopifolius Michx. Other names appear to have been used 
as in Lapham’s list of 1853. A. corymbosus, A. undulatus and 
A. dumosus have not been found in Wisconsin so far as known. 
None of these three species appear in Lapham’s list of 1853. 
V. G. D. Swezey’s Catalogue of 1883 
Volume I, of the Geology of Wisconsin, “ published under the 
direction of the Chief Geologist, By the Commissioners of Public 
Printing/’ in 1883, contains a Catalogue of the Phcenogamous and 
Vascular Cryptogamous Plants of Wisconsin , compiled by Mr. 
Goodwin D. Swezey. This catalogue was based in part upon a 
previously published “Catalogue of the Exogenous, Endogenous 
and Acrogenous Plants of Wisconsin, ” compiled by the same author 
in 1877, which was in the nature of a preliminary report and is sup- 
planted by the later one here given. Gray’s Manual (no doubt 
the ‘fifth edition) was the authority relied upon. A prefatory note 
contains the following paragraph : 
This catalogue is in part a compilation, and the author has not been 
able to follow the strict and perhaps the better rule of including only such 
species as have passed under his eye or are preserved in herbaria accessible
