The compilation is limited to vascular plants, including the pteridophytes. 
Except as noted, each original paper was examined to check the accuracy of the 
citation and to determine content suitability. Generally, references to 
vertebrate and non-insect assemblages were omitted except as they were 
included in the general plant and insect association. The authors strongly 
suggest that for the convenience of cataloging, the specific Latin names should 
be included in the title of the paper. The present paper comprises four 
sections, each having a specific purpose. 
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 
We owe a special debt to Dr. R. A. Evers, Associate Botanist and Curator 
of the Herbarium, Illinois Natural History Survey, for reading the manuscript 
and for consulting with us on many problems of mutual concern. To the eminent 
plant ecologist, Dr. A. G. Vestal, University of Illinois, we are grateful for 
his cooperation throughout the project. We express our appreciation to the 
following for their criticism and suggestions: H. B. Cunningham, G. C. Decker, 
H. B. Mills, H. He Ross, and L. J. Stannard. And to Mrs. Ruth Warrick, Librarian, 
Tllinois Natural History Survey, we are indebted for her interest and painstaking 
effort in seeking many titles and for checking their accuracy. 
Section I is the main body of references to insect assemblages with a 
plant species er genus, arranged in alphabetical order by plant family and by 
plant genus or species. We have attempted to limit our bibliography in this 
section to several categories: (1) references to reports of associations from 
a single locality, (2) reports which cover the entire range of the plant, (3) 
native plants in or out of cultivation, (4) uncultivated introduced plants which 
attract our native insects, and (5) some introduced plants in cultivation. 
References were omitted which treated only injurious insects of a specific 
introduced plant unless this was the only treatment available for that plant. 
Other references were omitted which were concerned primarily with identification 
and control of insects associated with specific cultivated plants. Whenever we 
experienced doubt regarding the applicability of some references, we included 
them. Special attention is directed to the work of Kaltenbach (1874) cited in 
Section II, This work is arranged by plant families, and although restricted to 
European insects, it has one of the most complete listings of plant-feeding 
insects that we have seen. It may offer clues to the food habits of the 
American members of insect genera common to both continents. 
Section II is a special section devoted to the principal works of Charles 
Robertson. Both botanist and entomologist, he wrote prolifically between 1886 
and 1933 on the subject of interrelations of insects and flowers. His Flowers 
and Insects (1929), arranged in alphabetical order by plant families, summarized
