FLORA OF MILWAUKEE COUNTY. 
(FIRST SUPPLEMENT.) 
W. M. WHEELER. 
The list published in the proceedings of ‘the society for 
1888, though embracing all the species of Phanerogams 
and Vascular Cryptogams at that time known to occur 
within the limits of Milwaukee County, was necessarily 
incomplete. 
As new forms are being introduced constantly, and new 
species found, especially of those groups in which the 
specific characters are much blended and consequently of 
difficult determation, it has become necessary to publish 
from time to time supplements to the original florula. In 
compiling this first supplement I have had to rely almost 
entirely on the assistance of Mr. A. Conrath and Mr. P . 
Runge. 
Mr. Conrath has very kindly allowed me to look through 
his entire herbarium, many of the specimens of which were 
collected in the county. 
An examination of his collection has furnished the fol 
lowing numbers of the list: 694, 695, 697, 698 , 700 to 
713, 715 to 717, 719 to 721, 723 to 726, 728, 730, 
731, 734, 736 to 741, 747 to 749. 
Mr. Runge has been indefatigable in scouring the county 
in search of species not in my first list and has succeeded 
in adding the following numbers : 692, 693,696, 099, 714, 
718, 727, 729, 732, 733, 740, 741, 743, 745. Numbers^ 
722, 735, 742, 744, 746 were observed by myself. 
Under the list of literature, given on pages 158 lo9 o 
my florula, the following was omitted : 
Hale , T.J. and Lapham, I. A.
