Muhlenberg, Schweinitz, Conrad, Carr, &c. Many of 
ray new plants are to be seen in their herbals. 
After this statement it will be idle to say that my new 
plants are not well known. Any one can see them or 
possess them by paying for them. 1 have in my herbals 
1000 N.G. or N.Sp. or very rare plants, to show or sell, 
already published or to appear in my supplemental 
Flora. 
I have divided my American herbals for my conve- 
nience and illustration of botanical Geography, into 5 
separate herbals of as many regions, in pink paper 14 
inches by 8, according to the natural orders and genera. 
1. Alleghany or Atlantic Herbal of plants of the At- 
lantic ‘states, and mountains from New England to "Vir- 
ginia, about 2000 species. 
2. Florida Herbal of plants of the southern region, 
extending from Florida to Carolina and Pinebarrens of 
New Jersey, about 1500 species. 
3. Louisiana Herbal of plants of the Western re- 
gions, or the Mississippi and Missouri valleys, from 
Louisiana and Texas to Illinois and Missouri, about 
2000 species. 
4. Oregon Herbal of plants of the Oregon mts. from 
Upper Missouri to the N. W. coast, only 700 sp. with 
me as yet. 
5. Canada or Boreal Herbal of plants from the Arc- 
tic regions, Canada, Labrador; Greenland, and extend- 
ing south to the great lakes, white mts, and Siberia, 
about 1200 species with me. 
Many plants are of course common to several of those 
5 regions, but each are distinguished by a peculiar ve- 
getation and some botanical features: as Pickering has 
partly unfolded in his Botanical Geography of North 
America for 3 at least. Decandolle has also stated that 
we have 3 botanical regions, the Arctic, U. States arid 
Oregon; out of the 20 of the whole world! Eaton has 
made only 2, Northern and Southern, but we have 5. 
Besides these 5 regular Herbals, I have 12 other Ex- 
tra Herbals: 1 and 2, N. G. and Sp. of Dicotyle .and 
Monocotyle plants. 3, Grapes of N. America. 4, Trees 
and Shrubs, Do. 5, A medical Herbal of all our medi- 
cal plants, with the officinal plants of Europe, Africa, ,
