to the botanist. The early lists from the state, published by Dr. I. A. 
Lapham and T. J. Hale, have been incorporated, although including some 
species not since reported, mostly from the less accessible parts of the 
state; some of these may possibly have disappeared from the localities 
where they were found. 
The following species and variety, thirty-one in all, are listed in 
this catalogue : 
Aster corymbosus, Ait. Aster simplex, Willd. 
macrophyllus, Linn. 
tenuifolius, Linn. 
sericeus, Vent. 
carneus, Nees. 
concolor, Linn. 
aestivus, Ait. 
patens, Ait. 
longifolius, Lam. 
laevis, Linn. 
puniceus, Lin,n. 
azureus, Lindl. 
var. vimineus, Gray. 
Shortii, Boot. 
prenanthoides, Muhl. 
undulatus, Linn. 
oblongifolius, Nutt. 
cordifolius, Linn. 
amethystinus, Nutt. 
sagittifolius, Willd. 
Novae-Angliae, Linn. 
ericoides, Linn. 
ptarmacoides, Torr & Gray. 
multiflorus, Ait. 
Diplopappus linariifolius, Hook. 
dumosus, Linn. 
umbellatus, Torr. & Gray 
Tradescanti, Linn, 
miser, Linn., Ait. 
amygdalinus, Torr. & Gray 
A. corymbosus , A. concolor, A. patens , A. undulatus and A. du- 
mosus are all based on earlier erroneous identifications. A. long- 
ifolius in the fifth edition of Gray’s Manual is said to have stood 
for A . Novi-Belgii L., a species which can hardly occur in Wisconsin. 
Just what was intended by that name is a matter of conjecture. 
A . puniceus var. vimineus is stated in the Synoptical Flora to have 
been used in Torrey and Gray’s Flora of North America as a syn- 
onym for A. puniceus var. lucidulus. Diplopappus amygdalinus is 
a synonym for A . umbellatus var. latifolius Gray. Other synonyms 
are used as in previous lists. 
VI. W. M. Wheeler’s Catalogue of 1888 and Supplement of 1889 
The Proceedings of the Natural History Society of Wisconsin, pub- 
lished at Milwaukee in April, 1888, contain an article on The 
Flora of Milwaukee County, with a list of species occurring in 
that county, by Dr. W. M. Wheeler, at that time curator of the 
Milwaukee Public Museum. The list includes thirteen Asters, 
with notes on their distribution, as follows :
