Doellingeria umbellata (Mill.) Nees. Tall Flat-top White Aster. 
Menomonee Valley and Whitefish Bay. Locally abundant. 
A. divaricatus and A. undulatus must certainly be omitted from 
this list. A. azureus and A. ericoides are inserted on the doubtful 
authority of Mr. W. J. Bennett’s additions, previously noticed, to 
the flora of the County. They have not been noticed by any 
other observers in Milwaukee County and in the absence of any 
authentic specimens must be dropped from this list ; as must also 
A. ptarmicoides, until further confirmation of its occurrence has 
been obtained. 
X. S. C. Wadmond’s List of 1909 
Volume XVI, part II, no. 1, of the Transactions of the Wisconsin 
Academy of Sciences , Arts and Letters , published in 1909, contains 
a very valuable paper by Mr. Samuel C. Wadmond, of Delavan, 
entitled: Flora of Racine and Kenosha Counties, Wisconsin: A 
List of the Fern and Seed Plants Growing Without Cultivation . 
This list is based for the most part upon the writer’s own observa- 
tions and collections and, except where otherwise noted, upon 
preserved specimens in his own herbarium. The only identifica- 
tions which seem to be clearly wrong are some for which reliance 
was placed upon the reports of other collectors, including the writer 
of the present paper. Twenty-six species and varieties are in- 
cluded in the list of Asters, which is as follows : 
Aster divaricatus, L. (A. corymbosus Ait.) .... Rare; Dr. Davis 
(Suppl. List of Parasitic Fungi of Wise. p. 157) reports collecting 
this as the host of an Erysiphe. The writer has not seen this 
Aster within our area. 
Aster macrophyllus, L. Common; woodlands. 
Aster Shortii, Hook. Frequent; dry banks and wood borders 
A southern species finding its northern limits in Southern Wis- 
consin, which extends somewhat the range allotted to it in Gray’s 
Manual and the 111. Flora. 
Aster azureus, Lindl. Common; prairies. 
Aster cordifolius, L. Rare; known to the writer from a single station only, 
fence-row in shade, Ives, Racine County. 
Aster Drummondii, Lindl. Common; open woods and roadsides. 
Aster sagittifolius, Willd. Rare; in thin soil underlain by limestone at 
Horlicksville quarries, Racine County. The only known station. 
Aster Novae-Angliae L Common; moist grounds.
