REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR, I922 27 
BOTANY 
Scientific investigations. The investigative work of the State 
Botanist during 1922 has been directed chiefly toward the completion 
of an annotated list of the plants of the State, which has involved 
much bibliographic work as well as study of the plants in the state 
herbarium. Collections and field studies have been carried on in 
the vicinity of Newcomb, Essex county; Watertown, and the east 
shore of Lake Ontario, in Jefferson county; and the vicinity of 
Oneida lake in the central part of the State. Collections of plants 
from these and other localities which are of scientific value have 
been incorporated into the herbarium. The ferns and flowering 
plants of peculiar interest are reported under “ Local Flora Notes,” 
and the fungi under “ Notes on Fungi.” A large number of fungi, 
both parasitic and saprophytic, chiefly of recent collection, have been 
studied in colaboration with Dr John Dearness, and reported upon 
under the heading ‘“ New and Interesting Species of Fungi.” 
Contributions to the state herbarium. The additions to the 
state herbarium during the past year in the form of contributions and 
exchanges are presented in the following list of contributors, which 
also indicates the number of specimens received from each.
