A CATALOGUE

OF THE

PH^NOGAMOUS AND VASCULAR CRYPTOGAMOUS

PLANTS OF WORCESTER COUNTY,

PREFACE.

In the autumn of 1883 I prepared for publication the first
Catalogue of the Plants of Worcester County, Massachusetts,
containing eight hundred and twelve species and well-marked
varieties. In the meantime, by the kind and generous help of
many friends, all of whom will understand, I hope, that whether
their names appear in these pages or not, my sense of obliga-
tion to them is here fully acknowledged and gratefully remem-
bered, more than two hundred additions have been made.

This Catalogue, revised and enlarged, is now issued in the
hope that it may serve as a basis for still further additions, so
that, in due time, our county may have its flora as fully re-
corded as possible. Its main purpose is to help and to
encourage the beginner and to afford pleasure to those who
take an interest in untamed and unpruned Nature.

Much yet remains to be done. The mosses, lichens, fungi
and algee furnish a wide field for the cooperation of workers
in different parts of the county for some years. The yearly
increasing interest in such work and the greatly increased
facilities for prosecuting it are hopeful signs of its accomplish-
ment.

4 PREFACE.

The arrangement and the nomenclature of this Catalogue
are those of Gray's Manual of the Botany of the Northern
United States, — Sixth edition, 1890 — the book most readily
accessible to all persons interested in the study of our local
flora. In the present state of botanical nomenclature, and for
the purpose for which this Catalogue is intended, I have not
thought it wise or necessary to adopt proposed changes not
yet generally accepted. The student interested in such mat-
ters can easily adapt himself to changing conditions.

Introduced species, so far as I have been able to determine
the fact of introduction, are indicated by a *.

The hope expressed on page ;^^ concerning Aiidromeda
polifolia, L. has been fulfilled since that page was printed.
October 18, 1894, Mr. G. S. Newcomb of Westborough re-
ported to me the finding of this shrub in a swamp close by
that village, and a few days later I had the pleasure of visiting
the locality and of finding it in abundance.

*5^* I shall be glad to receive any information as to the
discovery of species hitherto unrecorded within our limits, or
any facts concerning the distribution of our rarer species al-
ready recorded.

The preceding list contains 1,098 species and varieties, of
which 55 are cryptogams.
