To W. B. pe tas Casas, Esa.,

Chairman Metropolitan Park Commission.

Sir: — In obedience to Orders of the Commission,
dated January 26th and June 12th, 1895, and February
28th, March 11th, and May 6th, 1896, we hand you
herewith the following preliminary list of the plants of
the woodland reservations. This list is the product of
volunteer work on the part of many botanists organized
for this purpose by Mr. Warren H. Manning, lately a
principal assistant in our office. The Commission, the
public and the co-operating botanists are especially to be
congratulated in that the list has been compiled and

edited by Mr. Walter Deane.
Respectfully submitted,

OumstepD, Otmstep & Enror.

PREFACE.

The following list has been compiled at the request of
the Metropolitan Park Commission in order to put on
record the present condition of the vegetation of the new
public reservations as a basis for comparison in the future.
The acreage of Blue Hills Reservation is about 4,000
acres, Middlesex Fells Reservation 3,000 acres, Stony
Brook Reservation 450 acres, Beaver Brook Reservation
58 acres. The diversified character of the lands embraced
in the reservations gives rise to a most interesting flora.
The height of Great Blue Hill is 635 feet, and throughout
the reservations hills alternate with valleys and swamps,
and clearings with woods, while ponds and brooks afford
a rich aquatic vegetation. Pogonia verticillata, Nutt.,
Habenaria fimbriata, R. Br., Epigea repens, L. and Hal-
mia latifolia, L. in the Blue Hills, and Conopholis
Americana, Wallroth, in the Fells, are of the greatest
interest, while in Monatiquot Stream which skirts the
southern base of the Blue Hills are found the rare Lemna
Valdiviana, Philippi, and the polymorphous Stum Car-
sonii, Durand. The public should be exhorted, if they
come across such plants as these, to preserve them
rigidly. The true botanist and lover of nature needs no
such exhortation.

Direct botanical work in the reservations has been
systematically prosecuted during the past two years only,
and the record of plants is necessarily far from complete.
This is especially true of Stony Brook and Beaver Brook
Reservations. It has, nevertheless, been deemed best to

vi. PREFACE.

publish the list at this time, in order that it may be used
as a basis on which to build an exhaustive edition.

To enable me to compile the present list, the collections
of the past two years, forming the nucleus of a Reserva-
tions Herbarium, have been placed in my hands, together
with a large card catalogue of valuable notes by botanists
who have studied the flora about Boston for years. Mr.
M. L. Fernald kindly took charge of naming the Com-
posite, and Dr. C. W. Swan the Junci, Cyperacee and
Gramineew. Dr. Swan has been much aided by Prof.
F. Lamson-Scribner in the grasses, and Prof. L. H.
Bailey in the genus Carex. I hold myself responsible for
the rest of the Phanerogams, as I have examined them all
with the exception of a few which were submitted to Dr.
B. L. Robinson and Mr. M. L. Fernald. In the naming
of these plants I have been assisted especially by the
co-operation of Dr. G. G. Kennedy, Judge J. R. Church-
il, Mr. L. L. Dame and Mr. E. F. Williams. Mr.
George E. Davenport has taken charge of the Pterido-
phyta, Mr. E. L. Rand of the Bryophyta, Mr. J. W.
Blankinship of the Characew, Mr. F. S. Collins of the
Algs, Miss Clara E. Cummings of the Lichens, and Prof.
A. B. Seymour and Mrs. Flora W. Patterson of the
Fungi. The list of Thallophytes is a small one, as but
little work has as yet been done in this direction. Mr.
E. L. Rand and Dr. B. L. Robinson have rendered most
efficient assistance in regard to the form of the list, and
Miss Mary A. Day, Librarian at the Gray Herbarium,
has been most courteous in facilitating the work done in
the Library. Mr. Warren H. Manning’s large collections
of plants, and his notes on the trees and shrubs have
been of great service; and the general field notes of Mr.
W. P. Rich, added to his extensive contributions to the

PREFACE. vii.

herbarium, have been of especial value in regard to the
habitat and distribution of the plants, particularly of the
Fells. Judge J. R. Churchill, Dr. G. G. Kennedy,
Messrs. C. E. Faxon, E. Faxon, L. L. Dame, F. S. Col-
lins, E. F. Williams, H. A. Purdie, Dr. J. R. Webster,
and Mrs. P. D. Richards have aided by their notes on the
flora of the various reservations. To all the above and to
those who have assisted by collecting in the reservations,
contributing to the herbarium, or in any other way, my
hearty thanks are extended.

Owing to the fact that this list is in reality a record of
the plants growing in four separate reservations, a plan
embracing clearness and brevity had to be considered.
The list rests upon the authority of the Reservations
Herbarium, various private herbaria, notably those of
Messrs. C. E. and E. Faxon, W. P. Rich, F. S. Collins,
E. F. Williams, Dr. G. G. Kennedy, Judge J. R.
Churchill, the Gray Herbarium and my own, and lastly
the reports of a few botanists, already mentioned, who
have spent much time in studying the distribution of the
plants of the reservations. I have also used my own
field notes made during the past few years.

The names of plants indigenous to the reservations are
printed in heavy full-taced type, while the names of plants
introduced either into North America, or into the reserva-
tions from this country, or cultivated in old gardens, by
roadsides and the like, are printed in small capitals.
Synonyms are printed in italics.

After each species and its common name, if it has any,
follows a statement of the general habitat of the plant as
it occurs in New England. This ends with the period,
separate observations being divided by semicolons. Then
follow observations on each reservation. The following

Se

viii. PREFACE.

abbreviations for the reservations are used: B, for Blue
Hills, M, for Middlesex Fells, 8, for Stony Brook, BB,
for Beaver Brook, and this order is followed, where pos-
sible. The other abbreviations needing a word of explan-
ation are nat. for naturalized, adv. for adventive, int. for
introduced, and cult. for cultivated. The letter indicating
the reservation is followed in each case by the remarks on
that reservation, separate remarks being divided by semi-
colons. The remarks on the different reservations are
separated by a colon and dash. Every observation on
the phanerogams made in the list is on record with the
author’s name and can be referred to in case of need.
An asterisk following any letter standing for a reservation
indicates that a specimen of the plant under discussion is
found in the Reservations Herbarium; otherwise, the
authority rests on private herbaria or on reliable reports.

The nomenclature is in general that of Gray’s Manual,
Sixth Edition, but in some cases a more recent revision of
genera has been followed. In such cases the Manual
synonymy, where possible, is given, and reference is
made to the work containing the revision. With scarcely
an exception the names of plants recorded as growing in
old gardens are to be found in the last edition of Gray’s
Field, Forest and Garden Botany. It seems best to
record these plants, as several old gardens are included
in the reservations and it will be interesting to note the
persistence or decay of the plants growing in them.

Let it be fully understood that this list is a preliminary
one and that much work must be done in order to make
it truly representative. The work of collecting and
observing ought to be carried on with vigor so that a com-
plete flora of the reservations may soon be forthcoming.

(By George E. Davenport.)

The diverse character of the Reservations justifies expecta-
tions of finding a liberal representation of the vascular crypto-
gams in their flora, and these expectations will no doubt be
fully realized when all parts of the Reservations shall have
been thoroughly worked over. As the present report is based
wholly upon specimens actually collected, or known to exist in
reliable herbaria, a necessarily somewhat incomplete report
must be expected. An examination of this report will show

that the Blue Hills and Middlesex Fells Reservations have
been more thoroughly worked over than the Stony Brook and
Beaver Brook Reservations, although the latter can scarcely be
any the less interesting to a botanist studying the Ferns and
their Allies.

The arrangement adopted here is that of the late Prof. D. C.
Eaton, in the 6th edition of Gray’s Manual, and comments are
made in connection with the different species for the purpose
of calling attention to certain points that may lead to a more
thorough investigation, and result in restoring under proper
guidance many species once common, or fairly plentiful, but
now nearly or wholly extirpated from various causes now
happily within control and future prevention.

Drviston I. MUSCI. MOSSES.
(By Edward L. Rand.)

The list of mosses here given is based mainly on the valuable
collections of Messrs. Edwin and Charles E. Faxon. As these
collections, however, were made mostly in the Blue Hills and
Stony Brook Reservations, the moss flora of the other Reserva-
tions is most imperfectly represented in the list,— in fact only
two species have been reported from the Beaver Brook
Reservation.

The list of Sphagnacee is arranged in accordance with the
articles of Dr. Carl Warnstorf in Vol. XV of Coulter’s Botan-
ical Gazette. Synonyms, however, have been given when pos-
sible to facilitate reference to Lesquereux and James’ ‘¢ Mosses
of North America.” The lists of Andrezaces and Bryacex
are arranged in accordance with the Manual of Lesquereux and
James just mentioned, in the absence of a standard work of
ready reference of a more recent date.
