ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF WISCONSIN. 
BY T. J. HALE. 
Dear Sir : — The following catalogue comprises the plants 
added to the Flora of Wisconsin during the last two years. 
Its extent shows clearly the incompleteness of the enumeration 
thus far published. The labor of collecting and studying Wis¬ 
consin plants has been left exclusively to amateurs, and so 
long as this is the case, the botany of the more uninhabited 
parts of the State must remain very imperfectly known. It is 
to be hoped that educational institutions will become more 
interested in making local collections. Even with such aid, 
many years must elapse before the enumeration for the State 
approaches completeness. Thus far no college or school in 
the State has taken interest in the subject of botany further 
than to teach the elements of the science, and this to a limited 
extent only. 
Yours, very respectfully, 
T. J. IIALE. 
Prof. J. W. Hoyt, Sec. State Agrl. Society.
