PREFACE. The original intention was to publish a key to the species of flower- ing plants growing in the vicinity of Manhattan. With this in view full descriptions of the fruits and seeds of each species were prepared. but it was found that the cost of publication of so much matter was placed be- yond what was anticipated. The work was therefore restricted to genera. In the descriptions I have endeavored to give such characters as hold true for the orders and genera as represented in the United States, exceptions being neglected Characters which apply to our species but not neces- sarily to the grou in general, are placed in parentheses. The nomenclature is that used in the check list of plants of the northeastern United States. No attempt at classification has been made here. A good working classification is that given by Caruel in Bull. Soc. Bot France, Xxx, 120. I find that authors differ considerably in the terminology, es- pecially in the definition of the capsule and its modifications. . In the descriptions I have included under the term capsule, fruits such as Cuscuta and Ammannynia which burst irregularly at maturity; and have grouped under the term drupaceous the true drupe with one earpel, and those forms which have more than one ecarpel, yet possess the essential characters of a drupe, such as Cornus and Sambucus. There are some fruits which are with difficulty placed in any classification e. g. , dry, indehiscent fruits with more than one Cell or seed The Key is prepared for the use of beginners in botany and will be / used in connecton with a text book.
