INDEX OF PLANT NAMES. 
This includes the technical and common names of plants mentioned in this 
volume (nearly all of which are in the peat report'), and of the plant families 
listed in the catalogue of _peat-forming plants which occupies pages 316 to 357. 
Common names are here enclosed in quotations, to enable the non-botanical 
reader to pick them out more readily, and the few synonyms of technical names 
are italicized. Numbers in parentheses indicate pages where certain plants are 
inadvertently mentioned under different names. 
The last number given for each species is in most cases that of the page of the 
catalogue where its distribution within and without the State is summed up. Spe¬ 
cies which are not mentioned beyond page 316 (there are about no in this cat- 
egory) are not regarded as peat-forming plants, but are described as occurring 
in various situations which are not permanently saturated with water. About 30 
species whose names occur only in the catalogue have been seen on peat in 
Florida only once or twice, and are for that reason not mentioned in the habitat 
lists in the first half of the report. The genuine peat plants comprise about 245 
species. Of these, those which are not mentioned more than once before page 
313 are as a rule comparatively rare and unimportant in the swamps, bogs and 
marshes of this State. Conversely, the most abundant or conspicuous or charac¬ 
teristic peat-forming plants are mentioned oftenest.
