CHECK LIST OF OHIO SHRUBS. 
John H. Schaffner. 
A check list of Ohio trees was published by the writer in 
February, 1906, (Ohio Nat. 6 457). The present compilation 
is along the same lines and especial care has been taken to give 
what at present seenis to be the most appropriate English name, 
in the hope that some progress will be made in establishing a 
definite system to be used in the state. 
The larger, tree-like shrubs have already been listed in con¬ 
nection with the more typical trees; they are, therefore, not 
included here. The lianas and half shrubs are also excluded. 
The introduced species are indicated by the letter I after the 
English name. Of the 127 species listed below, 103 are native 
and 24 are introduced.
