in 1892 and labeled A. Tradescanti, belongs to the heterophylli 
and should probably be assigned to A. sagittifolius. Probably 
all the species named in this list may be found in Dane County 
with the exception of A. turbinellus and A. N ovi-Belgii. A revised 
list, however, is much to be desired. 
VIII. H. F. Lueders’ List of 1895 
A Preliminary List of Phenogamia and Pteridophyta' of the 
Town of Prairie du Sac, BTs. (in Sauk County), by Mr. Herman 
Frederick Lueders, is contained in volume X of the Transactions 
of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters, published in 
1895. Sixteen species of Asters 
follows : 
Aster grandiflorus L. 
oblongifolius Nutt. 
Novae-Angliae L. 
sericeus Vent, 
azureus Lindl. 
sagittifolius Willd. 
laevis L. 
multiflorus Ait. 
are enumerated in this list, as 
Aster dumosus L. 
diffusus Ait. 
Tradescanti L. 
longifolius Lam. 
puniceus L. 
umbellatus Miller, 
linariifolius L. 
ptarmic.oides T. & G. 
Aster grandiflorus in this list is of course an erroneous identi- 
fication. There are in the University herbarium two specimens, 
one from Dane, the other from Rock County, bearing the same 
name, but appearing to be very narrow-leaved plants of A. oblong- 
ifolius, with glandular bracts. It may be that a similar plant is 
here intended. A. dumosus is probably another mistaken identi- 
fication. The writer has not seen any specimens of this species 
from Wisconsin. A. diffusus is a synonym for A. lateriflorus. 
IX. Howland Russel’s List of 1907 
Next in point of time is a Check List of the Flora of Milwaukee 
County, very carefully compiled by Mr. Howland Russel, and 
published in 1907 in the December Bulletin of the ^Visconsin* 
Natural History Society. The nomenclature for the most part is. 
the same as in Gray’s New Manual, then about to be published, 
the editors of which are said to have assisted in bringing the names
