Tue following Catalogue was undertaken because I believed that a record of the names, and a description of the localities of the plants growing without cultivation in the State of New Jersey, would be a use- ful book to students of Botany, as well as to Botanists and collectors of Plants all over the country. Having collected largely, and examined with great care, the Flora of the State, 1 began to prepare materials for a catalogue, and communicated my design to the late Dr. Torrey, who encouraged me to go forward, giv- ing me a list of plants which he knew to be indigenous, and furnishing me with other important information. The late Dr. P. D. Knieskern made:a careful examination of the eastern parts of the counties of Monmouth, Ocean, and Burlington ; and furnished me with many of the interesting plants found in the pine regions. He made a specialty of the Cyperacee and Graminez, and many of the mem- bers of these orders are introduced on his authority. Iam also indebted to Prof. Geo. H. Cook, Vice President of Rutgers College, Wm. M. Canby, of Wilmington, Delaware, and Prof. Porter, of Lafayette College. Prof. Samuel Lockwood, of Freehold, furnished me with plants grow ing on the shores of New York Bay in the vicinity of Key-port. Iam under special obligations to Rey. Dr. Knighton, of the Brainerd Institute, for much information regarding the Flora of the Northwestern parts of the State, and for other valuable assistance. The localities of rare and curious plants have been carefully noted, and, for the convenience of inexperienced Botanists and collectors, general localities have been described, such as: dry soile—damp, shady woods— hill-sides—open woods—meadous—wet grounds—swamps, etc. vi PREFACE. The Botanical Directory is a part of the one published by the Torrey Botanical Club, and includes the address of most of the living Botanists in North America and the West Indies, In order to make the work more valuable to the collector, and especially to the beginner, I have introduced an article on the collecting, pressing, and preserving of Botanical specimens, with a description of suitable ap- paratus, and suggestions to teachers pursuing the study of Botany. This Catalogue will fall into the hands of men who can forma just estimate of the difficulties and labor incident to the preparation of a work like this ; consequently, I expect it to be judged with lenity and criticised with charity. I shall be very thankful to have defects and omissions pointed out, that in a possible future edition the Catalogue may be perfected.

FLORA OF NEW JERSEY. THE State of New Jersey extends nearly two hundred miles from north to south, possessing a very varied surface, and a no less diversified geo- logical formation. The land rises in the north and west, in mountain heights of three thousand feet, grading towards the south and east to low plains just a few feet above the sea level, and is the beginning of the territory along the eastern side of the Appalachian system, known as the Atlantic slope ; where it first assumes the marked characteristic of low plains on the coast, succeeded inland by a hilly country, which grades upwards into mountains. This difference of elevation from the south towards the north gives a wide range of temperature, so that while in the northern boundaries of the State plants are found common to New England, the southern and coast regions yield the vegetation of Eastern Virginia. The whole western border is washed by the Delaware River, fed by tributaries from Pennsylvania and New York, bringing to its banks the seeds of a vast territory north and west of it. Its eastern shores are washed by the Hudson River and the Atlantic Ocean, wafting the seeds of many lands to the alluvial plains which skirt its eastern boundaries, Its varied soil is another remarkable feature of this State ; limestone in the north accompanied by iron and peat; marl, alluvial, arenaceous, and clay deposits, with red shales and heavy loam, impregnated with iron, in the middle ; while in the south and east loose sands, peat and sphagnous bogs, and green sand deposits alternate with patches of loam, in which clay more or less predominates. re Pasay Ae Paes os ie se ane sesh bk 7 ‘ 9 pert vi te AE A NR ees Sr EE AME ee ee a OCS tities BCE EAC i Nhe cota aint tN oe I akc wha bal Rati if .

Ir is a matter of very great importance to the Botanist to possess & good Herbarium. Nearly every student in Botany makes an attempt to . form one, but it is frequently done in so slovenly a manner that the col- he lection is worthless. APPARATUS FOR DRYING PLANTS. Sie Let a quantity of old newspapers, or what is still better, coarse white wrapping-paper,* be procured and cut into pieces sixteen inches long and eleven and a half inches wide ; then place them together in piles of eight in thickness, and stitch the corners, so as to keep them in their places. Having prepared seventy-five or a hundred such pads, which I shall call * driers, get two pieces of pine boards of the same size as your driers, then ‘ provide yourself with a hundred or more sheets of newspaper + folded de once, so as to allow a plant to be placed between the folds. Let these sheets be cut to correspond with your driers. You will then be supplied with the simplest apparatus for drying plants. To THE COLLECTOR. ; Provide yourself with a tin box seventeen inches iong, and a florist’s } trowel (a strong butcher’s knife will do very well). In collecting plants, if they are small and herbaceous, procure the whole plant, including the root ; handle it carefully, and if the root is dirty wash it by shaking it gently in water, and afterwards flirt as much of the water off as you can without injuring the plant, then place it carefully in your box. If possible, procure ten or a dozen good specimens of the same plant. The + best time for collecting is clear weather; and plants are in a proper ’ ' state for collection when they are in full flower. Sometimes small * The publishers of the ‘* American Naturalist,"’ Messrs. Putnam & Co., Salem, Mass., advertise an excellent paper for driers, and aleo suitable paper for mounting plants. + White paper, such as printers use, is better, and for very delicate plants is neces- sary. “ie! 7 4% ’ ye te Y aaraeet ‘> . 4 ~~? i? % 7) ‘ ie 4 ] x DIRECTION S FOR DRYING AND PRESERVING PLANTS. an ranged the leaves, flowers, root, and fruit, if it has any, so as to present upon the top of the three fresh driers without removing it from between 7 ? 4 1 a ‘ 4 v. te pe an ee, ede ee Rs tae Spe ee eae hier” tnt é s fe a * a , ¥. eee b> re 25, Ps Otis ha ; er » AL 4 Ay ng tet 5 g “a Pity 77s Ri ale, See! a th. ; a hh ts EE os ‘ - o of ihe tan we rs he P Oh lees 7 pry y prs wer) i 7 " Pale Bo : oF De Ne a _ \ a on ae “i aah wetR ay At : ‘ ‘* i a on ey > : 58, “ at “3 plants may be procured, having both flowers and fruit at the same time. uy If possible, they should be procured in that state. If this cannot be done, specimens with flowers should be procured, and afterwards, those th .. with fruit. On some plants the flowers appear before the leaves, as: is "g the case with many trees, in such cases the leaf must be procured after- ia wards but should be taken from the same plant. PRESSING. After having collected some specimens, lay one of your boards on the | floor or on a table, and place three driers upon it; then upon the top of the driers lay a sheet of paper which you have prepared for the purpose, and open it, letting one half of the sheet lie over upon the table ; then lay a plant upon that which rests upon the driers, and after having ar- — a natural appearance, turn the half sheet over it, and lay upon it three more driers, and so oni, till you have arranged as many as you wish ; then lay the other board upon the top of the whole, and place upon the board a weight. A large stone may be used for this purpose, or several may be © used. Some plants need heavier weights than others. The weight should be just sufficient to keep the leaves extended smoothly ; if too much — is used, it crushes the parts and causes them to turn black. Some plants | will turn black in defiance of the most careful management. Most her- baceous plants change their color to some extent, yet, with care, they will retain much of their natural appearance. 7 Having left the plants in press for ten or twelve hours, the top board should be taken off and laid upon the table beside the pile, three fresh driers laid upon it, and the damp ones should then be removed from the top of the uppermost plant, and the plant be jaid carefully the folds of the paper in which it was placed; then three fresh driers laid upon the top of the plant, and so on till all have been removed, when the board that was at the bottom may be laid upon the top, and the weight replaced ; the damp driers should then be placed on a line to dry. This process of changing should be carried on till the plants are in the condition of well-cured hay. They may then be removed from the press and placed between the folds of dry paper, cut to the size of the driers. When a plant is put into the press, a bit of paper should be laid in with it, on which should be written the generic and specific names of the plant ; also the name of the place where it was collected, and the date ; and if anything uncommon is noticed about it, this should be mentioned, as follows - VIOLA, lanceolata ; Freehold, Monmouth Co., N. J, May 10th, 1856. Growing in a peat bog. Flowers unusually large. DIRECTIONS FOR DRYING AND PRESERVING PLANTS. Xi PRESSES. 1. The press already described, consisting of two pieces of boards of the size of the driers, with a stone or any convenient heavy body for a weight, is the most simple. _2. A press with a screw to apply force is in common use, and has its advantages on account of its completeness. _ 3. Two pieces of binder’s boards, with muslin glued on them and the ‘whole varnished with shellac varnish, and fastened together with straps, are sometimes used, and are convenient, because they are light and may be carried into the field. 4. Messrs. Barnes & Co., of New York City, keep for sale a complete apparatus for collecting and drying. Their press has sides of wire gauze, which possesses the advantage of allowing drying to go on more freely than any other press. Prof. Wood is the inventor of this press. SIzE OF PLANTS. When a plant is too large to lay upon the paper, it may be bent, but in no case should it be cut. Of large plants, such as shrubs and trees, a branch may be obtained containing good specimens of leaves, flowers, and Fruit, if possible. In collecting herbaceous plants, those of medium size should be obtained. The author has been in the habit of collecting, so far as practicable, all the forms ofa plant, from the overgrown speci- men to the dwarf. PRESERVING PLANTS. Having dried and labeled a number of plants, white paper of a fair substance may be obtained and cut to the size of the driers; then the specimens may be fastened to the sheets in any of the following ways. They may be stitched on with cotton thread, or a little glue may be touched to the leaves, and parts of the stem, and thus fastened to the paper. A very neat way of doing it is to dissolve Gum Arabic to the con- sistency of cream, and put into a gill of the solution a lump of rock-candy as large as a hickory-nut. When the whole is perfectly dissolved, spread it with a camel’s-hair brush over common writing paper (having first laid the paper smoothly on a table), and allow it to dry. Continue to put on ~ coat after coat, until it presents a smooth, glossy surface ; when dry, it is fit for use. After having placed the plant as it is to lie on the paper, cut into narrow strips the gummed paper, and after wetting it in your mouth, lay it across the stem and parts that you wish to secure to the paper. The label may be written upon this gummed paper, and laid over some part of the stem, and will aid in holding the plant to the paper ; in this case two specimens should be preserved so as to show both sides of the leaf. To preserve specimens from the depredations of insects, make a satu- rated solution of corrosive sublimate, in fourth proof alcohol, then add an equal bulk of water, and with this solution wet the parts of the plants attacked. ‘ £ ¢ Pa 1 7 Ne a - o*9 i; i : ae ‘> i ee - TM rai : , Pele BAG ie < ° ‘ae “ Me xii DIRECTIONS FOR DRYING AND PRESERVING PLANTS. ' : > i CAsE For GENUS COVERS. After having thus attached the plants to white paper, all the Species of * the same Genus should be placed together in the fold of a strong sheet of brown paper and the name of the Genus written or printed on the corner, _ and these should be arranged in the order of the Flora, and laid in a case. constructed for the purpose with pigeon holes eighteen inches deep and thirteen inches wide. A very cheap case can be made for a small collec- — tion, by taking packing-boxes, used for packing sale boots, and placing shelves in them. These boxes are made about a foot wide, and tay be had for a few cents at almost any country or village store. * bee” . ng oH — : te ‘ OES ssi =, t } | m as SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS. % é Botany furnishes the most interesting, convenient, and diversified _ field for the study of nature. The teachers of the schools in our rural districts are especially favored in being surrounded by the objects for the practice of this pursuit. Every teacher should have some favorite study to occupy his leisure hours, and none can be more interesting and inviting for a resident in the country than Botany. The pursuit of any department of science will soon impress upon the learner the great importance of thorough investigation and minute ac- curacy. The teacher, especially, is benefited by the training it affords, he will not only come to see the necessity for accuracy in his investigations, but he will imperceptibly fall into the habit of minute and clear description in imparting instruction. It will necessarily teach him to require verbal accuracy in recitations, the great secret of all successful instructors. He will be introduced, also, to other departments of knowledge as accessories. _ Let him so far pursue the study of Botany as to become interested in it, and he will become a frequent and delighted visitor within the portals of other useful branches of science. } DIRECTIONS FOR SECURING ASSISTANCE. As I am addressing teachers allow me to put these suggestions in the form of a familiar talk with an individual. Having provided yourself with suitable books* and apparatus, select from the catalogue of living Botanists the name of a person with whom * As Floras, ‘‘Gray’s Manual”? and ** Wood’s Botanist and Florist,’’ are the best. Gray's lessons should be carefully studied. The Key to the natural orders in ‘** Gray’s Field, Forest, and Garden Botany,” is the most simple. ‘1'o insure intelligent progress, careful attention should be given to structure. For this purpose ‘“ Gray’s Structural Botany” should succeed the Lessons. ‘* Lindley's Ladies’ Botany” is a good book for beginners, \ te xiv TO TEACHERS. to correspond ; collect, dry, and prepare, as already directed, a number of specimens and attach labels to them, numbered 1, 2, 3, etc., and send them in a secure package (a light wooden box of the size of your driers” is the best) to your correspondent, who will return you the generic and specific names of numbers 1, 2, 3, etc., which you can write on your own © labels of the corresponding numbers. N. B.—Having named your plants, take your Flora and study the char- acters of the Order, Genus, and Species of each plant, and you will soon be independent of all assistance except such as you will be able to get from your books.

July to Septem- - , ber. The stamens and pistils are borne on different flowers. Late in Sa autumn the plant presents a remarkable appearance, the long, whitish, _ silky plumes in which the carpels terminate, make it resemble masses of : wool thrown upon the low shrubbery over which the plant climbs, some- Ss. times to the extent of thirty feet. Habitat.—Along streams and rich damp hedge-rows. Scattered spar- ingly throughout the State. Bears cultivation well, but is not thereby improved in appearance. Anemone, L. (Wind-Flower.) A. Virginiana, L. Extremely rare. A. nemorosa, L. (Wind-flower.) Said to be called wind-flower be- _ cause many of the species are found in windy exposures. This, however, is not especially the case with A. nemorosa, for it seems to delight in the borders of damp meadows and in sunny nooks of fences and hedge-rows. It bears a single flower on a slender stem, just below which is a whorl of three trifoliate leaves. Leaflets toothed, pale underneath. Flower white or purplish, with five petals. March to May. New Egypt, O., Middletown, M., and Princeton. Hepatica, Dill. (Liver-leaf—Liverwort.) H. triloba, Chaix.

R. pusillus, Poir. This species is so different from the general char- acter of the genus that it needs a passing notice. The young botanist, _ after inspecting R. repens, which appears among the early spring flowers, would not suspect this to be Ranunculus. I have never found it in any place except the swamp near Penn’s Neck, about two miles east of Prince- ton. It delights in damp places, growing almost in the water, has a long stem, from two to three feet in extent, which is always prostrate unless. held up by surrounding plants. The leaf is lance-shaped ; flowers bright — yellow, smaller than R. repens. 7 R. reptans, I have never seen growing in the State. I put it down on the authority of Dr. Torrey.

Common in damp meadows in the eastern part of Mer. and north- ern parts of M. April to June. _V. primulefolia, L. Smooth, varying from cordate, broad ovate, to lanceolate, tapering into a winged petiole, slightly repand or crenate ; when growing in dry places sparingly pubescent ; sepals lanceolate ; stig- ma beaked ; flowers white, striped with purple streaks, slightly odorous ; petals slightly bearded, especially the lateral ones. April to July. Wet meadows ; growing with V. lanceolata and V. blanda, and seems to be a connecting link between them. I have seen specimens that seemed to possess the characteristics of both. Dr. Beck suggests that it may be identical with V. lanceolata, but my observations do not lead me to that conclusion. I should sooner take it to be a variety of V. blanda; its flowers are odorous like V. blanda; its foliage more nearly approaches that of V. blanda than of V. lanceolata, 4-6 in. high. Scattered sparingly over the entire limits of the three counties, M., O., and Mer. V. blanda, Willd. Leaves cordate or pilecubbancn, crenate or sub- entire, early ones sub-orbicular, with the head of the sinus rounded.

Var. palmata. Form No.1. Leaves varying from broad cordate to reniform, repand toothed, sparingly cuculate at base ; whole plant slight- ly pubescent ; radical leaves, purple above. Growing in dry grounds and open woods. 6-10 in. high. * Form No. 2. Early leaves, broad cordate, or reniform, somewhat fleshy, on short petioles, under side frequently purple, serrate toothed, usually two or three in number, rarely many ; later leaves usually two to four in number, on long petioles, three lobed, the middle lobe sometimes lanceo- - late, occasionally with parallel sides, and terminating in a blunt angle, the lateral lobes hatchet-shaped, with the margins sometimes serrate toothed, sometimes deeply cut into two or three divisions. The whole leaf is frequently divided into narrow parts, approaching V. pedata. Again, the whole margin will be made up of divisions, varying in number from six to twelve, and from an eighth to half an inch in width, the middle one generally the broadest, and the incisions extending half way into the blade. The early leaves are usually smooth, the later ones covered with pubescence. Flowers apetalous and frequently subterranean. Growing abundantly about Freehold. Dry grounds and open woods. May to August. 6-12 in. high. I watched this plant closely throughout three successive seasons in the same localities, and it seems to depart from the distinctive characters of V. cuculata as its distance from damp ground increases. I placed specimens with divided leaves in the lawn of the Freehold Institute, in damp, rich soil, and in the course of four years they were free from pubescence, the leaves entire, and in every way identical with V. cuculata growing within ten feet of it. I also saw specimens which had been transplanted into a dry, gravelly, rather sterile border, in Flushing, on Long Island, and they retained their pubescence and divided leaves. V. sagittata, Ait. Leaf entirely smooth, when growing in damp soil; slightly pubescent when growing in dry soil. Sub-linear, lanceolate ; sometimes triangular ; sparingly toothed or cut-toothed at the base. 4-10 in. high.

This little plant always attracts the attention of young botanists. It varies very much in form, so that beginners usually make several species of it during the season. It resembles the field strawberry in general ap- pearance. When found\in dry, barren fields, it is small, simple, and thickly sprinkled with silky hairs; when growing in damp, rich fence- rows it is less hairy, and sends off many runners, rooting and flowering along the runners.

Collected on the coast of Egg Harbor, at and near Beesley’s Point, in Cape May County, By SaMUEL ASHMEAD, EsqQ., and published in the Geological Report of Cape May County. SERIES 1. MELANOSPERMEZ. r Fucus, L. F. vesiculosus, L. Very common between tide marks, on the shores of the Bays and the thoroughfares ; not unfrequently attached to sods by a root penetrating several inches into the soil, throwing off numerous lateral shoots, having the appearance of undeveloped fronds, forming a strong hold-fast, and affording an interesting illustration of the modifica- tion of a discoid root, where local circumstances are unfavorable to such expansions. It is, however, more frequently found adhering by a coni- cal disc to mussels (Modiolo plicatula), which, at high water, unable to resist the buoyancy of the full-grown plant with its inflated vesicles, is, by degrees, wrested from its place of growth and cast upon the shore to perish, whence the Fucus, together with other marine plants, is car- ried away by the inhabitants for manure. Stilophora, J. Ag. 8. rhizodes, J. Ag. Rather rare; on old shells, etc., near low-water — mark. The few specimens which I obtained are fertile, of vigorous growth, and densely covered with wart-like fructification. 70 CATALOGUE OF PLANTS. Ectocarpus, Lyngb. E. littoralis, Lyngb. Very abundant in the Bays, on various sub- merged substances. Also fringing the steep banks of the thoroughfares between tide marks. Disappearing in July. | E. siliculosus, Lyngb. Occurs sparingly on the shores of Little Bay, on Fucus vesiculosus. E. viridis, Harv.: Common in the Bays, on Zostera marina, etc. Disappearing in July. : SERIES 2. RHODOSPERMEZ. Chondria, Ag. C. dasyphylla, Ag. Plentiful in Little Bay, and on Bond’s Bar, growing in large tufts on the sandy mud, to which it is attached by a fibrous root. C. Baileyana, Mont. Common with the above. Polysiphonia, Harv. P. Olneyi, Harv. Rare, on Zostera marina in Little Bay. P. Harveyi, Bailey. Very abundant in the Bays, and on Bond’s Bar; on Zostera marina. ~P. variegata, Ag. Very common, on Zostera marina, also attached to the mud by a fibrous root. P. nigrescens, Grev. I collected fine specimens of this most valu- able plant, in fruit, in the month of“May. It occurs in great abundance in Little Bay, attached to the bottom by a fibrous root. | Champia, Harv. C. parvula, Harv. Plentiful in Little Bay, on Zostera marina. Grinellia, Harv. G. Americana, Harv. Of this beautiful plant I found only one per- fect specimen. It was growing in the Great Egg Harbor Bay near the shore, attached to the bottom by a somewhat fibrous root. Gracilaria, J. Ag. G. multipartita, J. Ag. Plentiful, particularly fine on planted oys- ters in Little Bay. Solleria, J. Ag. 8. chordalis, J. Ag. Very common on all the shores. There can be no doubt but this bushy plant will grow and flourish in the coves of Lit- tle Bay, and other sheltered situations, without a foothold; for I have rarely found it attached to the bottom. Chylocladia, Harv. C. Baileyana, Hary. Frequent, on Zostera marina, Ulva latissima, etc. eit _‘Spyriai, Harv. _§. filamentosa, Hary. Particularly abundant and vigorous in the Bays; ; where, sheltered from the winds and waves, like the Solieria chor- —__ dalis, it will luxuriate without the slightest attachment to the bottom, - Ceramium, Ag. ‘ AiR C. rubrum, Ag. This plant, in all its perplexing varieties, is found on Zostera marina, rather abundantly. C. diaphanum, Roth. Occurs sparingly associated with the above. C. fastigiatum, Harv. In dense tufts,on Zostera marina, rather rare. Callithamnion, Arn. C. byssoideum, Arn. Frequent on Zostera marina, also attached to old shells in Great Egg Harbor Bay. C. polyspernum, Ag. Rare, on old shells in Great Egg Harbor Bay. Gelidum, Grey. G. corneum, var. y. pinnatum, Grey. I obtained two or three speci- mens of this plant in Little Bay, on old shells, near low-water mark. \ Bryopsis, Ag. B. plumosa, Ag. Not common; attached to old shells and other 4 submerged substances on the shore of Great Egg Harbor Bay. SERIES 3. CHLOROSPERMEZ.. Cladophora, Harv. C. falcata, Harv. Occurs pientiful in Little Bay. Enteromorpha, Grey. E. compressa, Grey, Very common everywhere ; infesting the small pebbles on Great Egg Harbor Bay. E. intestinalis, Link. Abundant in Little Bay, and on Bond’s Bar. _ Frequently found floating in large quantities in the Bays. Ulva, L. U. latissima, L. Common with the above. Porphyra, Ag. P. vulgaris, Ag. Very rare. I have obtained but two or three specimens of this Alga, on Zostera marina in Little Bay. : A sie mis he 5 Os P hi .
