REPORT OF THE SECRETARY AND DIRECTOR-
IN-CHIEF FOR THE YEAR 1904
(Submitted and ordered printed January 9, 1905.)
To THE Boarp or ManacGers or THE NEw York Bo-
TANICAL GARDEN.
Gentlemen: Ihave the honor to submit herewith my report
as Secretary and Director-in-Chief for the year ending Janu-
ary 9, 1905.
The development of the Garden has gone forward continu-
ously in all departments during the year just ended. Con-
struction work, in accordance with the general plan adopted
in 1896, has been actively prosecuted, and the value of this
original study of the project has continued to be apparent.
Noteworthy additions have been made by gift, purchase, and
exchange, and through explorations, to the collections of liv-
ing plants, the museums, library, and herbarium. The num-
ber of visitors has materially increased, and we have had a
larger number of special students and investigators making
use of our equipment than ever before. Our permanent funds
have increased about $2,500, and the sums borrowed from
them for development during the early period of construction
operations have now been nearly repaid. The annual and
life members of the Garden now number 1,108, an increase
during the year of 14. Gifts of money by many friends of
the institution have enabled us to secure important additions
to the collections, which our ordinary income would not have
(1)
(2)
permitted; the large number of 360 different persons have
contributed either money or material, exclusive of annual
membership dues. The city has enabled work on roads,
paths, bridges, and grading to be continued uninterruptedly,
by an additional appropriation of $75,000, which became
available for expenditure in the late summer, but it has not
increased the allowance for general maintenance of grounds,
buildings and collections, which stands at $70,000 for 1905,
the same as for 1904, and is too little for the proper upkeep
of the Garden in its present state of development.
Construction of Roads and Paths
Work on the main park driveway west and north of the
museum building has been prosecuted at intervals and is now
so far advanced that this road may be completed and opened
for use early in the spring, there only remaining its final sur-
facing and rolling to be done; this will complete all the
Telford McAdam roadway planned west of the Bronx River,
except the connections with the two bridges under construc-
tion across the railway at the Mosholu Parkway and Wood-
lawn Road, the earth filling and retaining walls for which
have not yet been made, though part of the filling needed
at the Mosholu Parkway approach has been put in place and
the dumping there is being continued during the winter.
On the east side of the Bronx River a considerable part of
the grading required for the driveways was done in 1903,
and most of the filling needed for the easterly approach to
the long bridge across the valley of the Bronx has been
made during the last few months; this work is going on dur-
ing the winter. The driveway approach to the public con-
servatories, which had been considerably cut up by the
hauling of heavy building material for the cut stone steps of
the conservatory terraces and for the large tanks for water
plants in the court of the conservatories, was resurfaced
during the autumn. The service road to the power house
was also completed.
Path building has gone forward on a large scale. The
(3)
completion of the steps and tanks at the conservatories per-
mitted the building of the paths planned on the conservatory
terrace and of those leading to it, including the resurfacing
of those previously built. Parts of the path system between
the valley of the herbaceous garden and the hemlock grove
were completed, and the Telford foundations of other por-
tions were laid. Path approaches were built to the public
comfort station at the elevated railroad station, and to the
power house. The path east of and paralleling the driveway
east of the museum building was completed as far north as
practicable before the building of the lake bridge. The
Telford foundations for the path which will connect the
Mosholu Parkway and Woodlawn Road approaches was
mostly laid, as was also that for much of the path system on
the fruticetum plain to connect these approaches and the path
system south of the museum building with the long bridge;
also a part of that on the north meadows to connect the
upper bridge with the other bridges, buildings and entrances.
The stone for the foundations of all these driveways and
paths has been furnished by our own grading operations and
more is being excavated during the winter from a quarry
behind the museum building where necessary grading is
going forward.
Bridges
The steel and stone upper bridge across the Bronx River
at the northern end of the Garden near the Newell Avenue
entrance, built under a contract of the Department of Parks,
was satisfactorily completed in the spring; during the sum-
mer, after the earth filling at its ends had well settled, the
Telford foundation for the driveway was laid across it and
the curbstones set in place.
Work on the rubble stone five-arched long bridge, across
the valley of the Bronx River north of the hemlock grove,
has been prosecuted throughout the season under a contract
of the Department of Parks, and all but the middle arch has
been completed; this work should be finished by June or
July; all the rubble stone used in this structure has been fur-
(4)
nished by grading operations northeast of the public conser-
vatories, the rock being excavated by the contractor.
The contract for the building of the one-arched stone
bridge to carry the main driveway across the valley of the
lakes northeast of the museum building, was awarded by the
Commissioners of Parks on January 5, 1905, to Jos. Gallo;
the expense of this work is about $37,000, and it should be
completed within a year.
Work on the abutment and retaining walls of the bridge at
the Mosholu Parkway entrance has gone forward during the
season under a Park Department contract, but lack of appro-
priation has compelled the Department to defer the comple-
tion of this structure; the work is far enough advanced, how-
ever, to permit some of the earth filling to be made during
the winter.
The bridge across the railway at Woodlawn Road has been
completed during the season, but no appropriation has as yet
been made to enable the Department of Parks to construct
the approaches to it.
Grading
Grading operations immediately around the public conser-
vatories were continued during the early part of the season,
and essentially completed in September; this work included
the completion of the terrace on which these buildings stand,
and the topsoiling and sowing of the grounds adjacent, to the
south and east. The knoll southeast of these buildings was
completely topsoiled and sown, and thus prepared for the
planting of conifers as contemplated by the general plan.
Small areas near the Southern Boulevard entrance, between
the traffic road and paths, were graded, topsoiled, and sodded
or sown; some work still remains to be done at this entrance,
including the finishing of the two rocky knolls, at each side
of the traffic road; this has been deferred, however, awaiting
the rebuilding of the Southern Boulevard now in progress by
the Highways Department of the borough.
The surplus rock of the excavations just north of the pub-
lic conservatories made necessary to form the finished surfaces
(5)
there, has mostly been used in the construction of the long
bridge by the contractor, Mr. Leahy, who has excavated
and carted it; some has gone into the Telford foundations of
the driveways. A small amount still remains to be excavated,
and as soon as this is accomplished in the spring, it is pro-
posed to do the final work in grading at this point, and to top-
soil and sow the area still denuded.
Portions of the grounds south of the museum building
along the paths leading from it to the herbaceous garden and
the public conservatories were topsoiled and sown or sodded.
An area at the extreme southwestern corner of the Garden,
at the elevated railway station, was regulated, graded and
sown, as were also the immediate surroundings of the public
comfort stations and the power house.
The path-building work east of the valley of the herbaceous
garden, and east of the museum building, already referred to,
necessitated considerable grading and sodding.
Much of the topsoil and sod required to form the finished
surfaces in these grading operations has come from the strip-
ping of land within the lines of roads and paths, either moved
directly into place, or taken from stacks where previously
accumulated, but several hundred loads were obtained, for
the digging and hauling, from contractors who were grading
grounds during the spring and summer for streets and build-
ing sites along the Mosholu Parkway west of the Garden.
No sod nor topsoil has as yet been purchased.
Much grading has been done along the driveways and
paths under construction north and northeast of the museum
building, including a heavy earth filling at the north end of
the upper lake, where work is still going on, the material
being brought from the rear of the museum building.
At the Woodlawn Avenue Bridge, preparation for the fill-
ing needed in building its approaches has been made, by
taking out the topsoil and distributing it to areas between the
main driveway and paths where needed.
In 1896, at the time the temporary construction railroad
for the Jerome Park Reservoir was build through the grounds,
(6)
a dirt embankment several hundred feet long was made by
the contractor through a valley from the eastern end of the
trestle nearly to the Garden barn; the abandonment of this
railway by the contractor during the past summer has given
opportunity for using this embankment as filling for the
driveways at the east end of the long bridge, where it is now
being hauled; its removal will restore this valley to its orig-
inal form. The abandonment of this railway has also made
it possible to regulate and grade the grounds just west of the
arn.
Drainage and Sewerage
The laying of the drain from the cellar of the museum
building to the upper lake, commenced late in 1903, was com-
pleted in the spring; this work necessitated cutting through
rock to a depth of about 14 feet for a considerable distance,
and putting in a 10-inch earthenware pipe, which now com-
pletely controls the drainage of the building and will ulti-
mately come into use for the drainage of the court. The
sewer connection east of the Bronx River, on which work
was commenced last winter, was also completed in the spring,
providing satisfactory sewerage of the barn and also making
it possible to build a public comfort station on the east side of
the grounds, where the need of one is beginning to be ap-
parent,
A sewer connecting the public comfort station at the ele-
vated railway approach with the large drain at the power
house was laid early in the season.
The 12-inch land drain east of the Bronx River, laid sev-
eral years ago, was continued to the east end of the long
bridge, outflowing into the river, before beginning the earth
filling required for the approach at this point.
Catch-basins and short drain-pipe connections from them
to drains already laid, have been built at a number of places.
Some drain-pipes were laid, and others relaid at the new
propagating greenhouse at the nurseries.
these sewer- and drain-pipes have been carefully plotted
on our location plan, so that their position may be known in
(ee)
the future. Further details of all this work will be found in
the report of the Superintendent of Grounds, hereto ap pended.
Water Supply
No extension of the water-pipe system has been made
during the year, but it is intended to extend the main 6-inch
line along the driveways north and east of the museum build-
ing as indicated on the general plan, during next season.
Buildings
Detailed accounts of the operations on buildings will be
found in the report of the Assistant Director hereto appended.
Construction work during the year included the completion
of the range of propagating houses, by the building of an
additional greenhouse, and completing the original plan,
which was, however, modified by including a large and
commodious cellar under the new structure. This work was
finished and the building putinto operation during the summer.
Two completely equipped public comfort stations were
built at the approach to the elevated railway station, under
the contract awarded toward the end of 1903 to Springsted and
Adamson; these were completed and opened to the public on
july ¢:.
At the power house, an overhead structure for delivering
ashes into a concrete ashpit just west of that building was
completed late in the year; this avoids the heavy work of
wheeling the ashes up the runways.
In order to supply additional stalls for horses, a modifica-
tion was made of the interior structure of the stable, during
the autumn, which has proven to be a great convenience.
A contract for furnishing and setting the bronze fountain
in front of the museum building, from the studies and
moulds of Mr. Carl E. Tefft, the sculptor, was awarded to
the Roman Bronze Co. of Greenpoint, N. Y., by the Com-
missioners of Parks, December 29, 1904. It is expected that
this work may be completed in about four months.

Plants and Planting
The report of the Head Gardener, hereto appended, shows
that 12,053 species of plants were represented in the collec-
tions during the year, an increase of 451 species over the
record of 1903. A large number of specimens have been
replaced by better ones of the same species, and the number
of individual plants cultivated in the conservatories has been
somewhat reduced by the elimination of imperfect specimens
or of duplicates, many of which have been sent to other in-
stitutions in exchange. The increased areas taken into cul-
tivation, and the largely increased areas of lawns and finished
banks, necessitate greater expenditure in maintenance.
The capacity of the public conservatories for the housing
of plants has been nearly reached, and I now recommend
that plans be prepared for the construction of another range
of greenhouses, as contemplated by the original plans and
studies made in 1896 and 1897. I referred to this approach-
ing need in my annual report for 1902 (BULLETIN N. Y. Bor.
Garp. 2: 412). As there stated, the cost of this proposed
structure should be very much less than the range already
built, on account of much less height being required. With
the intention of building an additional range of glass, the
present range was designed essentially for tropical plants of
large or of considerable size, deferring the construction of
smaller houses to the future. This proposed new structure
should have a floor area at least as great as the present range,
and even with this development, we would not have as much
glass as has been found necessary at the Royal Gardens at
Kew, England, where a very much milder climate permits the
cultivation of many more species out of doors.
t will be recalled that the modification of our original
studies, made by the Park Commissioners in 1897, caused the
abandonment of the first suggested site of the present glass
building and their construction where they now stand, and
the position first selected for them has proved to be very de-
sirable for parts of the collection of conifers and for the mor-
phological garden. It seems desirable from the present de-
(9)
velopment of the Garden that this proposed new greenhouse
should be built east of the Bronx River, in order to establish
it at a considerable distance from the present conservatories
and from the museum building, and to provide a prominent
feature on the east side of the ground, which will probably
soon become easily accessible from the south by the extension
of the rapid transit system.
It will be desirable to design this proposed new structure in
such a way that it may be built in sections, necessitating no
very heavy expenditure during any one year, and to include
in it provision for space for considerable floral display.
I therefore recommend that authority be given me to con-
sult with the Commissioner of Parks relative to a site for this
structure, and to have plans prepared for it, to be submitted
to you and to the Commissioner of Parks.
A detailed account of the gardening operations will be
found in the report of the Head Gardener, hereto appended.
Library
The report of the Librarian, hereto appended, shows that the
collections of books was increased during the year by 1,166
bound volumes, and by a large number of pamphlets ; of these
bound volumes 694, or considerably more than one half, were
presented to the Garden. Contributions of money used for
the purchase of books and credited to the Special Book Fund
have been made as follows:

Exchanges of publications with other institutions have been
largely extended, so that the number of societies, gardens,
museums and other institutions now sending us their publica-
tions is about 455.
he building up of our library has, on the whole, gone
forward satisfactorily, through the liberal aid which has been
given by many friends of the Garden. In order to make
the collection as complete as that of the larger botanical
libraries of the Old World, it will be necessary to expend
considerable more money, however, and to so arrange our
finances as to always be able to secure a rare work when it is
offered. Some of the older literature is of course practically
unattainable, and the amount that is becoming beyond our
reach is increasing from year to year. We should certainly
aim to make the library as complete as possible in pure
botany, and in its related sciences of horticulture, agriculture,
forestry, and such portions of general biology as apply to
plants, and I believe that no greater service could be ren-
dered to these subjects in America, than by some provision
by means of which our library should be perfected.
The library of the British Museum of Natural History in
London is probably the most complete collection existing ;
the method chosen by the trustees of that institution some
years ago, was to select a responsible firm of bookdealers,
and give them authority to secure any work not already ob-
tained, payments for such accessions being made at the con-
venience of the Museum. This firm has twice offered to act
for us in the same way, but I have never seen my way clear
to bring this matter to your attention, on account of the very
considerable sum which would have to be set aside to meet
(11)
the necessary expense, nor is it practicable now for me to
recommend this course with our present income.
It will soon be necessary for us to consider increasing the
shelf capacity of the library, as the shelves already provided
will not accommodate more than about 2,000 additional books.
The architect’s plan for increasing the shelving has always
been to construct a set of bookcases above those already built
in the stackroom, by means of a steel frame, thus bringing
the collection on two levels, and floor beams of sufficient
strength to permit this were used when the building was
constructed.
Museums and Herbarium
The incorporation of additional specimens into the collec-
tion has gone forward actively, and the accumulated quantity
of specimens hitherto stored has for the most part been in-
stalled, or distributed to other institutions, the total additions
to the permanent collections amounting to 102,716, of which
60,552 were obtained during the year, and 42,164 were
previously stored. The museum cases are ample to receive
the natural growth of the collection for some time, but we
now need additional herbarium cases, which it is hoped may
be obtained during the year. The growth of the herbarium
has been very rapid, owing to the great number of specimens
that have been given to the Garden, and the several private
herbaria which have been purchased, so that the nucleus of
a collection of dried plants comparable in size and importance
to the larger ones of the Old World has now been formed.
Dr. Rusby informed me when he returned from Europe in
the autumn, that he thinks the size of our herbarium is now
between one fourth and one third that of the Royal Gardens
at Kew. The very rapidity of our accumulation of speci-
mens has prevented their critical study in many instances,
and it is proposed, now that the specimens secured have
nearly all been mounted, to devote special attention during
the next year to their study and arrangement, looking for-
ward to a much less rapid accumulation of material in the
in the immediate future.
(12)
The report of the Curator of the Museums and Herbarium,
hereto appended, describes in detail all the work of this
department.
Laboratories
The uses of the laboratories and the work of students and
of visiting investigators who have been given facilities for
study, are described in the appended report of the Assistant
Director.
Lectures
The system of public lectures delivered in the lecture
hall of the museum building on Saturday afternoons during
the spring and autumn, has been continued with satisfactory
results, the audiences numbering from fifty to somewhat over
five hundred persons. It is desirable to increase the number
of lectures as rapidly as the means therefor can be obtained ;
the Saturday afternoon series might profitably be extended
to every Saturday in the year, and other lectures, designed
with special reference to the needs of teachers and their
pupils, might be given with advantage.
Exploration
The policy of sending members of the staff, or special
agents, to various parts of the world for the purpose of col-
lecting living plants, seeds and specimens, has been con-
tinued, with great advantage to the collections, and the
addition of a very large amount of important information to
the sciences of botany and horticulture. During the year
this part of our work has been accomplished by means of
appropriations from four general fund and by the following
contributions of money credited to our special exploration

The results of the several explorations have been duly re-
corded in our JOURNAL, and only a summary of them is nec-
essary here.
Work in the Philippine Islands, commenced late in 1903,
has been continued during the year by Mr. R. S. Williams,
a special agent of the Garden, in codperation with the resi-
dent botanists of the Insular Government. Three large con-
signments of specimens and seeds have been received from
(14)
him, and I have put their study and arrangement in the
hands of Mr. C. B. Robinson, who has been serving for part
of the time as a resident research scholar. In addition to or-
ganizing the material sent in by Mr. Williams, and arrang-
ing it together with other collections from the Philippines,
Mr. Robinson has entered upon the work of compiling a
catalogue of the Philippine flora, based in part on the speci-
mens and in part on the literature of the subject.
Dr. D. T. MacDougal, Assistant Director, spent parts of
January and February in the southern part of the valley of
the Colorado River, and on the northeastern coast of Lower
California, securing a considerable number of the very inter-
esting plants of this little known region, a large number of
photographs and some herbarium specimens.
I explored subtropical Florida, accompanied by Mrs. Brit-
ton and by Dr. Marshall A. Howe, Assistant Curator, during
parts of March and April, in continuation of work previously
done in that region by Dr. John K. Small, Curator of the
Museums, and Mr. Geo. V. Nash, Head Gardener, and Dr.
Howe and I visited the island of New Providence, Bahamas,
in April, with Dr. C. F. Millspaugh, Curator of Botany in
the Field Columbian Museum; my stay on New Providence
was only for two days at this time, but Dr. Howe and Dr.
Millspaugh conducted an exploration by means of a sloop
from New Providence northwestwardly to the western Ba-
hamian cays, and thence to Miami, Florida. The results of
this Bahamian exploration showed that our knowledge of this
archipelago was still very incomplete, and in my report on
this work I recommended that we organize a detailed botani-
cal survey of the Bahamas. It became possible for me to
follow up this recommendation by visiting New Providence
again during parts of August and September, where I was
assisted by Mrs. Britton, and by Mr. L. J. K. Brace, a resi-
dent botanist; a large collection was made at this time which
has since been somewhat critically studied, and proves to
contain many species of interest and of novelty. The
Bahamian exploration was further continued by Mr. Nash,
(15)
Head Gardener, assisted by Mr. Norman Taylor, a garden
aid, who proceeded to Inagua, one of the southern islands
of the archipelago, in October, being absent about five weeks,
and securing a collection which contains more of interest and
of novelty than was thought possible; Mr. Nash’s report on
this work will be published in the January issue of the Jour-
NAL. I have again continued this investigation by sending
Mr. Brace in December to Abaco, the northeastern island of
the group; he is under instructions to spend about a month
there, and return to Nassau about the middle of January. I
desire to take further part in this field work by making an
examination of the Great Bahama Island, the most north-
western island of the Bahamas, and devote the month of Feb-
ruary to this work; this island can be reached by a vessel
from Nassau, and inasmuch as Dr. Millspaugh can accom-
pany me at this time, the expense of this boat would be much
less than if we went alone.
Further work in subtropical Florida was accomplished in
May by Dr. Small, assisted by Mr. Percy Wilson, and Dr.
Small again visited the same region in November. Each
visit to this peculiar region discloses the existence there of
species either new to science or not hitherto known except in
the West Indies, and, notwithstanding the number of trips
that we have made there, it is probable that the novelties are
not yet exhausted.
Investigations
Botanical and horticultural studies upon the collections
have been prosecuted by all members of the staff and assist-
ants, and also by forty-five students, and by many visit-
ing investigators from other institutions. Practically the en-
tire time of members of the staff not required for preparation
and installation of the collections is given to study, and im-
portant and substantial contributions to knowledge have been
made, some of which have attracted international attention.
Accounts of the research work accomplished will be found in
the reports of the several officers, and a statement of the work
(16)
of students in the report of the Assistant Director, hereto ap-
ended. The provision for members of the staff to visit other
institutions has again proved most valuable, the most note-
worthy event of the past year being a study by Dr. Marshall
A. Howe, Assistant Curator, of the collections of algae in
European museums, an account of which has already been
published by him in our JouRNAL.
Research Scholarships
Research Scholarships have been granted to three persons
for a total of ten months, in accordance with the action of the
Board of Managers at the annual meeting in January, 1903.
Dr. J. C. Arthur, Botanist to the Agricultural Experiment
Station and Professor of Plant Physiology and Pathology,
Purdue University, held a scholarship for a month, during
which time he made some critical studies of the Uredinae
(rusts) for the purpose of completing his investigations of the
polymorphism of these interesting parasites which spend por-
tions of their life-cycle on different species of plants. Dr.
Arthur’s studies are also to be used in the description of the
group in the North American Flora. He has contributed
many specimens of these fungi to our collections.
Dr. J. E. Kirkwood, Assistant Professor of Botany in
Syracuse University, held a research scholarship for two
months, during which period some further studies on the em-
bryology of the Cucurbitaceae were pushed to an advanced
stage of completion and some bibliographical work on the
subject was accomplished.
Mr. C. B. Robinson, who held a scholarship for one period
of four months and a second period of three months, engaged
in the study, installation and arrangement of the collections
from the Philippines, and in the preparation of a monograph
of the stone-worts (Characeae), made possible by the great
collection of these plants presented to the Garden some years
ago by Dr. T. F. Allen.
(17)
Preservation of Native Plants
The income of the fund of $3,000 established by the Misses
Caroline and Olivia E. Phelps Stokes in rgo1 for the protec-
tion of wild flowers, has been expended in part in the print-
ing and distribution of essays upon the subject, which have
received wide attention and favorable comment, and in part
in defraying the expenses of the series of lectures, delivered
in eight cities by Dr. C. E. Waters, Treasurer of the Wild
Flower Preservation Society. It is believed that the existence:
of this fund and the expenditure of its income are having a.
salutary effect, in calling attention to the many reasons why
natural scenery and native plants should be preserved.
Administrative
The action of the Board of Managers in promoting Dr. D.
T. MacDougal, First Assistant, to the position of Assistant
Director, which took effect on June 1, has been of very great
advantage in the administration of the institution. I referred
to him all details of maintenance, and have since then
been able to give more time to the work of construction and
to the oversight of the installation of the collections. This
division of administrative duties is a natural one, and has
operated satisfactorily. I have also been able to give time to
the study of the West Indian collections, to the preparation of
manuscript for the North American Flora, and to personally
directing the studies of others.
Reports Appended
I submit also reports by the Assistant Director, the Curator
of the Museums and Herbarium, the Curator of the Economic
Collections, the Librarian, the Head Gardener, the Superin-
tendent of Buildings and Grounds, and a schedule of ex-
penditures under appropriations by the Board of Managers.
Respectfully submitted,
N. L. Britton,
Director-in- Chief.
(18)
REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
Dr. N. L. Brirron, DirecTor-1n-CHIEF,
Str: I have the the honor to present the following report
for the year ending January 1, 1905.
In accordance with the appointment conveyed by the Di-
rector-in-Chief, the duties of the Assistant Director, entailing
a supervision of the maintenance of the Garden, were as-
sumed on June I, 1904.
Roads, Paths and Grounds
The roads and paths of the Garden have been kept in
order by employees of the Department of Parks in accord-
ance with the act of organization of the Garden, two men
being employed in restoring the surfaces of the walks and
driveways: a force which is hardly adequate to the task, how-
ever, and it will be necessary that an addition to this
detail be made by the Department if the driveways are to be
kept in good average condition. In September and October
the Department was able to furnish screenings, which were
applied to the repair of the surface of the roads and paths in
various parts of the grounds.
The lawns, terraces, plantations and borders have been
mowed, rolled, cultivated and kept in order by laborers and
gardeners, as detailed in the reports of the Head Gardener
and Superintendent. The area under high cultivation hav-
ing been increased by large extensions in various parts of
the Garden, the care of the grounds now demands an in-
creased force of laborers and gardeners.
The usual number of trees in the woodlands have reached
maturity, or have been uprooted by the wind and have been
removed. ‘The precautions found necessary for the protec-
tion of the Hemlock Grove have been observed, with the re-
sult that this forest may be reported to be in a very healthy
condition. It may be necessary to take steps for the preven-
tion of too much disturbance of the humus, which is an ex-
(19)
tremely important factor for a forest of this character. This
may be done by directing visitors along indicated paths.
The constantly increasing number of visitors to the Garden
and the completion of extensions to the roads, paths and col-
lections, has made necessary some additions to the details
for guard duty with the result that the total number on duty
on holidays and other special occasions now numbers 26.
In addition to this unavoidable increase, it has been necessary
to provide attendants for the public comfort stations near the
entrance to the terminal station of the Manhattan Elevated
Railway, and to appoint two special guards by whom the
grounds were patrolled from 7 A. M. until 8 P. M. daily
during the summer season. Some service has been rendered
by the patrolmen attached to the 41st precinct, but no special
detail has been made for any part of the Garden except upon
certain occasions. It is highly desirable that some favorable
action looking toward the more complete protection of the
Garden be secured from the Commissioner of Police.
It is to be noted that the amount of damage to the collec-
tions has been very small, and it is gratifying to be able to
report the growth of a healthy sentiment on the part of the
public as to the preservation of the collections and of the nat-
ural features of the grounds. On several occasions, intelli-
gent visitors have been known to prevent thoughtless persons
from injuring lawns, wild plants, and objects on exhibition.
The existence of such a sentiment has done much to supple-
ment the inadequate guard service we are able to provide.
On the other hand, the deposition of newspapers and rub-
bish of various kinds in the grounds has increased to such an
extent that one man is no longer able to clear up the litter
resulting from this carelessness. It is necessary that vigor-
ous measures be taken to abate this growing nuisance.
The cabs and hacks which wait for passengers at the
entrances continue to be a source of annoyance to visitors by
persistent soliciting, and of damage to the roadways by the
disregard of the regulations governing licensed vehicles.
It is to be seen from the foregoing that a material increase
(20 )
in the number of employees of the Park Department for the
care of the roads and paths, and of the laborers, gardeners,
guards, and police for the care of the plantations, the preser-
vation of the natural features of the Garden and the regula-
tion of visitors and vehicles, is necessary.
The Museum
A number of important repairs and alterations have been
made in the museum, which improved the condition of the
building and made possible an increase in the efficiency of
several phases of the work of the Garden. The completion
of the drain leading out from the subcellar of the lecture hall
has resulted in a much drier condition of the entire basement
of the building, and in an improvement of the sanitary con-
ditions in general. A number of sinks have been moved from
the uppermost floor to various points where needed, and the
large aquarium in the physiological laboratory has been re-
moved to the experimental greenhouse in order to facilitate
some special investigations. ‘Two masons were employed in
repointing the joints in the cornices and walls, in October,
November and December, by which several bad leaks were
stopped. This work was also extended to the balustrades,
steps, and walls of the approach.
No serious repairs having been made to the surfaces of
the walls in the interior of the building since its erection,
the painters were employed almost constantly during Sep-
tember, October and November, in cleaning the surfaces
and painting the same with a mixture of white lead and
zinc. The phanerogamic herbarium, the cryptogamic her-
barium, the hallways and rooms east of the Director’s office
have been treated in this manner, as well as the Direc-
tor’s administrative office on the first floor, and it is proposed
to extend the method over the entire building. The upper
part of the unused elevator shaft has been converted into a
storeroom for the janitors. The photographic darkroom has
been provided with large panels of orange and ruby glass in
the door and overhead, which increases its usefulness. A
(21)
large shallow sink of especial construction has been provided
in the physiological laboratory for use in investigations upon
the influence of gas upon plants
Four oak vertical files have been added to the equipment
of the library for the purpose of containing the large series
of illustrations at present in the cryptogamic herbarium, and
a single vertical filing case has been placed in the office of
the Assistant Director for the purpose of preserving scientific
correspondence. In addition a special file has been provided
for the paid vouchers of the institution which are stored in the
publication room.
The flagstaff over the main entrance, which was shattered
by a stroke of lightning in July, 1903, has been repaired
and put in good order by splicing the uninjured basal portion
of the shaft. By a recent regulation, the colors are hoisted
at 10 A. M. and lowered at 4.30 or 5 P. M., being displayed
during the period in which the museum is open to visitors.
It has been found necessary to detail two janitors for con-
stant duty on the uppermost floor to meet the needs of the
staff in the administration and care of the laboratories, library
and herbaria.
Conservatories
The conservatories have been cared for in the usual man-
ner. Houses no. 2, 3, 13 and 14 were repainted in the
interior during the summer. New shades have been put in
place as detailed by the Head Gardener. The breakage of
glass during the year has been very small. It has been
necessary to line up several batteries of steam pipes during
the year and the doors at the main entrances demand constant
attention from the carpenter and painter. Some important
adjustments and replacements of broken parts of ventilat-
ing apparatus were carried out by Hitchings and in
November.
During many days in the year the crowd in the conserva-
tories taxes the capacity of the aisles to the utmost, but the
system of regulation is so effective that visitors have been able
to inspect the collections without inconvenience at any time.
(22)
Constant attention to the labels of the plants reduces the mis-
placement of these important adjuncts to an exhibit to a
minimum.
Propagating Houses
The propagating houses were maintained with only unim-
portant repairs. An area of 2,500 square feet immediately
south of the propagating houses has been enclosed with wire
netting eight feet in height, to protect the experimental cul-
tures for the study of the origin of species that have been in
progress for some time.
Power Plant
The heating and power plant has been maintained with a
minimum of repairs. Only one break in the heating system
has occurred, and this necessitated cutting off the steam from
the museum for two days only. The trouble was due to a
defective joint in the main and was put in order at slight
expense.
During the summer the entire system was overhauled by
the chief engineer, a number of frames and grate bars being
replaced under the boilers. The certificate given by the
manager of the inspection department of the United States
Casualty Company, after the annual inspection, was accom-
panied by a letter stating that the entire power plant with its
boilers, pumps, dynamos and other machinery were in ex-
cellent condition and showed unusually good care and in-
telligent handling.
Stable
The stable now furnishes accomodations for ten horses, and
has been kept in order by the replacement of some of the floors
and of the sloping approaches at the entrances.
Repair Shop
The repair shop has well repaid its maintainance. One
man has been able to keep the tools and implements of the
laborers and mechanics in order and to execute other simple
repairs. It is still necessary to have horse-shoeing and re-
(23)
pairs to complicated machinery done outside, in places with
special facilities for such work. A new forge and anvil were
added to the equipment in November.
Publications
The JouRNAL has been published monthly during the year.
The completed volume contains viii + 242'pages with 5 plates
and 41 figures. The publication is devoted to a current
account of the various activities of the Garden, including
non-technical descriptions of scientific results obtained, or-
ganization, and additions to the collections and exhibits,
progress of construction within the grounds, accessions of
all kinds and accounts of the explorations which are now
being prosecuted so vigorously.
Buuuetin No. 10, comprising pp. 175-2847 of Vol. III,
was issued March 22, 1904. It is devoted wholly to the
reports of officers and committees for the year 1903.
BuLvetin No. 11, completing Vol. III, consists entirely of
scientific papers. Three of these papers have been pub-
lished separately in advance. The first, Mycological Studies,
II, by Prof. F. S. Earle, was issued June 30, 1904; the
second, The Comparative Embryology of the Cucurbitaceae,
by Dr. J. E. Kirkwood, was issued October 7, 1904; the
third, Additions to the Palaeobotany of the Cretaceous Forma-
tion of Long Island, No. I, by Dr. Arthur Hollick, was
issued December 10, 1904. The completed BuLLETIN will
be published early in 1905.

Lectures
Two series of public lectures have been given, one in the
spring and one in the autumn. Cards are sent to all mem-
bers and an invitation is given to meet the Director and staff
for a tour of an hour and a half around the grounds, planta-
tions, and in the conservatories. The attendance at these
lectures has been very gratifying, although unfavorable
weather has reduced the number present in some instances.
The full list of subjects and lecturers is given below.

a lecture on Cacti to an audience sa aa of members of
the latter institution on December 7, 1
In addition, a number of ee anes age been held for
the advanced pupils of the public schools, and guides have
been furnished for parties which have been brought to the
Garden by teachers for the inspection of the collections.
Material for nature study has also been furnished to a num-
ber of schools on request.
The botanical conventions, held bi-weekly in the library,
continue to be a source of great profit to the entire staff and
to the botanists of neighboring institutions who attend them.
The meetings in question afford an opportunity of presenting
the results of investigations at an early moment and also give
opportunity for discussion by specialists in every branch of
the subject.

Meteorological Observations
Meteorological observations have been continued through-
out the year and the records have been added to the series
which has been kept continuously since 1900. The total
precipitation for 1904 amounts to 47.01 inches. The total
period between the latest occurrence of freezing temperature
in the spring and the earliest in the autumn was 167 days,
compared with 168 days in 1902 and 170 days in 1903. In
addition to the ordinary standard instruments a thermograph
which records the soil at a depth of 12 inches, and the air,
has been added to the equipment. elliptic, ro~20 cm.
long, 1-6 cm. wide, acuminate, narrowed at the base into a short
petiole, sharply serrate to nearly entire, glabro us or scabrellate
along the margin above, glabrous or puberulent beneath; inflores-
cence usually very large, 2-4 dm. across, loose, tebe ei
. or peduncle » 8-13-flowered ; involucre obpysam > 3-4
ae irr egularly imbricated in few series, all erect, oblong or oblong-
lanceolate, acute or ae hanetee or ciliate; Dea puberulent

outer series usually Tene in color
Type locality: ‘+ Carolina.”
Distribution: South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, in swamps
and wet places along the coastal plain.
Vernonia oligantha Greene, based on Tracy’s 7339, from Palmetto,
Florida, and represented also by collections of Keeler at Neptune
and Alden at Fort King, is apparently only a depauperate or shade
form, with smaller proportionately wider leaves, and smaller inflor-
escence with fewer heads. The involucre is in all respects like
the type.
Some specimens with narrow nearly entire leaves, such as Harper
1936 from Baker County, Georgia, appear very different from the
normal form in habit.
(ix) Species-group Glaucae
Leaves broad, usually rather abruptly narrowed at the base;
heads many-flowered; scales acuminate into short filiform tips;
pappus straw-colored. One species in the lower Appalachian
mountain region.

cm. long, 2 m. wide, short-acuminate, sharply and saliently
dentate, abruptly narrowed at the base into a short margined peti-
ne

with a filiform tip 2-5 mm. long; achenes prominently Abbeds
ees oe 3.5 mm. long; pappus tawny or straw-colored, 6-7
Tyee localien: ‘‘in Marilandia, Virginia, Carolina.”
Distribution: from southeastern Pennsylvania to Georgia and
Alabama.
The species is distinguished at once by the characteristic and
constant structure of the involucre and color of the pappus. There
is, however, great variation in the foliage. Some plants have nar-
rowly elliptic-oblanceolate leaves 2 by 10 cm., others broadly ovate
leaves 5 by 13 cm., or even 10 by 25 cm. Both types are found
throughout the range of the species.
Vernonia glauca Britton (Mem. Torrey Club 5: 311. 1894) is
identical with V. glauca Willd., but V. gfauca Britton, as used in
the Illustrated Flora, refers to an entirely different plant, if indeed
to any one definite plant at all. The involucral scales in the latter,
as described, are similar in shape to those of V. a/téss¢ma, but that
species very rarely has less than 20 flowers in each head. The
leaves resemble those of V. ovadifolia, but here the scales are
different. Some plants of V. flaccidifolia have been distributed
under this name, but the range as given in the Illustrated Flora
extends too far north for that species, which also has about 21
flowers in the head.
(x) Species-group Moveboracenses
Tall species with thick stems, ample foliage, lanceolate leaves
and wide inflorescence; heads many-flowered; scales all acumi-
nately narrowed into spreading or recurved tips; pappus purple or
tawny-purple. The two species are distributed along the Atlantic
coastal plain from Massachusetts to Mississippi and inland to the
Allegheny mountains.

long.
Type locality: ‘+in Noveboraco, Virginia, Carolina, Canada,
Kamtschatca.”
Distribution: Massachusetts to West Virginia and Mississippi,
mostly near the coast.
The number of synonyms under the species name indicates to
some extent the uncertainty which has characterized the treatment
of Vernonia noveboracensis during the past hundred years. There
is scarcely one of the large species of the central, eastern, or western
states that has not at some time been confused with it. The plate
and careful description of Dillenius in the Hortus Elthamensis
make it perfectly clear to what form the Linnaean name applies.
But Linnaeus also recognized another of Dillenius’ species, Serva-
tula praealta, differing from the type only in the shorter appendages
of the involucral scales. The identity of this plant was in doubt
for many years, until finally in 1829 Lessing showed its similarity
to V. noveboracensis.
Walter’s Chrysocoma tomentosa has been still more puzzling.
His meagre description ‘‘herbacea, caule tripedali, foliis alternis
lanceolatis dentatis subtus tomentosis,” shows no essential difference
from V. xoveboracensés. Elliott, in transferring the species to the
genus Vernonia, gave a fuller account, describing a plant with nar-
( 221)
rowly lanceolate, sharply serrate leaves, tomentose and hoary be-
neath, and with the scale-tips ‘‘ twice as long as those of any other
species I have seen.” Again, there is nothing to distinguish it
from V. novebdoracensis. It is also worthy of note that Elliott
was not at all certain of the identity of his plant with that de-
scribed by Walter. After seventy years Britton reduced it to a
variety, but, strangely enough, his description in the Illustrated
Flora and in the Manual refers mainly to V. glauca. After de-
scribing V. noveboracensis with leaves 5-12" wide he says for the
variety: ‘* Leaves * * * broader; * * * some scales sometimes
merely acute,” both characters directly at variance with Elliott’s
description, and agreeing scarcely better with Walter’s. More re-
cently E.S. Steele * has discussed the matter, and regards the name
V. tomentosa Ell. as belonging to a hydrophile form of the south At-
lantic coast, with linear-lanceolate leaves, sparsely and finely serrate
and gray-tomentose beneath. In his opinion it is a distinct species.
My own examination of the two sheets in the National Herbarium
to which Steele referred disclosed no differences sufficient to warrant
its separation. Small’s distinction of a straw-colored pappus in V.
tomentosa is not supported by herbarium evidence. Two sheets so
labeled in the Columbia herbarium have immature heads which had
not flowered, and the third, with tawny pappus, is clearly V.
glauca.

Vernonia Harperé is distinguished from V. noveboracensts by
the larger and looser inflorescence, the larger heads, the more
numerous flowers, and by the greenish scales rather gradually nar-
rowed at the tip. .

a
nearest relative, by the narrower revolute leaves, the larger heads,
the recurved scales, and the narrower involucre. From V. pud-
chella it is separated by the narrower leaves, which are merely
denticulate and with the characteristically dilated base.

(xii) Species-group Angustifoliae
Leaves usually linear or narrowly lanceolate and scabrous above;
inflorescence regular, depressed or flattened; heads small, 13-21-
flowered; scales acute to acuminate. Certain species disagree in
(224 )
one or more of the preceding characters, but the general habit of
the plants, coupled with their distribution, clearly indicates their
relationship. All are coastai-plain species of the southern Atlantic
coast of the United States, except one endemic in the Bahamas.

Erect, 5-10 dm. high, simple to the inflorescence; stem striate,
glabrous, pubescent or short-hirsute ; spite crowded, all narrowly
near, 5-10 cm. long, with revolute margins, scabrous above,
sparing'y pubescent bene ; inflorescence ample, rather compactly
many-headed; involucre campanulate, 6 mm. high; scales gla-
brous or ciliate, lance-ovate, reddish or purple, appressed or the
short-acuminate tips slightly spreading; achenes 2-3 mm. long,
furrowed, pubescent; pappus purplish.
Type locality: ‘‘in aridis apricis sylvarum Carolinae.”
Distribution: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala-
bama, Florida, Mississippi.
There is considerable variation in foliage and involucre among
the specimens examine Biltmore 3669° has a narrowly cylindric
involucre and tawny pappus, but is otherwise like the type. Zarle
@ Earle 98 from Auburn, Alabama, has the lower leaves flat, over
a centimeter wide and saliently toothed. The upper leaves are lin-
ear and revolute. Others from the same place, like Earle ¢&
Baker rr7z, have lanceolate or narrowly elliptic, entire leaves,
sometimes I cm. across. They are a little revolute, and since the
plant differs from the type in no other way it may be regarded as
a mesophytic or shade form of the species.
Although the oldest specific name for the species is Walter’s
graminifolia, the use of the binomial V. graminifolza Mohr is
antedated by V. graminifolia Gardner, applied in 1847 to a Bra-
zilian species.
96. Vernonia dissimilis sp. nov.
Stem stout, thick, erect, 8-11 dm. high, strone ly striate, gla-
brous above, pubescent or short-hirsute below; leaves numerous,
pe oe or ascending, sessile, narrowly lanceolate, 10-15
—2 cm. e, acuminate oth ends, sharply serrate,
Tse
pubescent with short white hairs beneath, pinnately veined with
conspicuous lateral veinlets; upper leaves gradually reduced in size,
(225)

late, strongly arachnoid-ciliate, obtuse, subacute, or the outer sharply
acute, exposed portions dark-red; achenes sharply and piece!
ribbed, hirsute on the angles and somewhat resin ous, 2.5 mm. lon
pappus 5 mm. long, bright-purple, the outer series inconspicuous.
ype: Larle & Baker 17189, from Auburn, Alabama; in the
herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden.
The species is closely related to V. angustzfolda, from which it
is distinguished by the taller and coarser habit, the broad, flat, serrate
leaves, the proportionately smaller and more irregular corymb, the
arachnoid involucre, the blunt scales and the more brightly colored
pappus. In general habit and gross appearance, so far as can be
shown by herbarium sheets, the two are entirely distinct. It is to
be regretted that no notes are available on its ecology, since both
species live together in the same county.
97. Vernonia concinna sp. nov.
Stem apparently erect, simple, striate, green, glabrous, § dm.
high; leaves numerous, thin, divaricate, oblong-linear or narrowly
oblanceolate, flat, entire or with minute callous teeth, acute, nar-
rowed to a sessile base, bright-green and glabrous above, paler
beneath and sparsely pubescent with short white hairs, the principal
leaves 10-12 cm. long, 0.8-1.2 cm. wide, the upper somewhat re-
duced; inflorescence ree subumbellate, flattened, 1 dm. across,
resembling that o . angustifolia; heads about 13-flowered, 1
little ciliate, triangular-acute or mucronate, the inner oblong-lance-
olate, the outer narrower, the basal slightly spreading; achenes mi-
nutely pubescent, 3 mm. long; pappus purplish-tawny, 5-6 mm. long.
Type: Nash 1759, from Eustis, Lake county, Florida; in the
herbarium of Columbia University. The same collection is in the
National Herbarium, numbered 223166.
Vernonia concinna is also closely related to V. angustifolia, as
is shown by the shape of the involucre and character of the inflor-
escence, as well as by its geagraphical distribution. It is abun-
dantly different in the smooth, flat, lax leaves and the acute scales.
Some forms of the latter species resemble V’. concénna in the shape
of the leaves, such as Harle & Baker 1777 already mentioned, but
they invariably have acuminate scales and scabrous leaves, some or
all of which are revolute.

ew, appressed, very loosely and irregularly imbricated, lanceolate,
acute or subacute, glabrous or nearly so, the exposed portion red
or purple ; achenes 2.5 mm. long, sharply ribbed, pubescent in the
furrows; pappus yellow, twice as long as the achenes
Type locality : Pine EL Florida.
Of the seven sheets in the herbarium of the New York Botanical
Garden four have the narrow leaves and acute scales of the type, as
characterized above. The other three, Small & Wilson 1878, Cur-
tiss, and Small & Carter 771, have the lower leaves obtuse or even
rounded at the apex, much broader and shorter, the length being
only three to six times the width, and the scales sharply mucro-
nate or even acuminate. Additional field study may prove this to
be a distinct species.
The use of Chapman’s varietal name for the species is prevented
by the publication of the name V. pumila for an African species.

tributed as Vernonia paniculata DC., which, in fact, it may be.
De Candolle’s description is incomplete, since he saw neither
( 230 )
flowers nor fruit. Bentham, in Plantae Hartwegianae, intimates
that they are the same, and Hemsley has more recently used the
same name for the species. The use of the older name of La Llave

Type, peer angustifolius Sw
The generic name refers to the straight uniform bristles of the
pappus, a feature which distinguishes it from the nearly related
genera Hlephantopus and Pseudelephantopus.
( 238 )
Orthopappus is the only genus of the group Zlephantopeae in
which the pappus consists of numerous simple bristles. In the other
genera they are limited in number, and more or less modified into
scales at the base, or twisted and contorted towards the apex, or dis-
posed in two evident series. So far as known the genus includes but
one species, O. angustifolius, which however is very variable and
may include several distinct forms.
The first recognition of the generic rank of the species was
by Lessing, who included it, under the synonym £. guadriflora,
in his new genus Zlephantoszs. The first species described in that
genus was Llephantoszs bzflora, which must remain as the type,
and to which the name still applies. Alephantoszs bifiora Lessing
has a biseriate pappus, the scales of the outer series short and per-
sistent, those of the inner long, flat, slightly twisted, and deciduous.
The achenes of both species were figured by Lessing, and show the
distinguishing characters well. In the same paper Lessing also de-
scribed Hlephantopus angustifolius Sw. The description agrees
throughout with that of Alephantosts guadrifiora, and his error
was certainly due to the immature achenes of his specimens of Z.
angustifolia. De Candolle followed Lessing in the use of the
genus Llephantoszs and included in it Swartz’s Alephantopus an-
gustifolius without recognizing its identity with Alephantoszs
guadrifiora. Schultz, in Linnaea 20: 517 (1847), left Elephan-
topus angusttfolius in Hlephantosis, which he regarded as a sec-
tion of Llephantopus, and created the new section Zlephantopsis
for Lessing’s Llephantosis biflora. In the last treatment of the
genus C. F. Baker (Trans. Acad. Sci. St. Louis 12: 43. 1902)
also includes Elephantopus angustifolius under Elephantosés,
and is obviously in error when he states (page 45) that it is the type
of the genus.
As a matter of fact the name Zlephantosis belongs to EZ. biflora,
and Elephantopsis is merely a synonym. Accordingly Elephan-
topus angustifolius of Swartz, here considered generically distinct,
is left without a generic name, for which Orthopappus is now
proposed.

The Chareae of North America
By CHARLES Bupp ROBINSON
The Characeae form a group of slender aquatic plants of very
wide distribution, inhabiting fresh, brackish, or very rarely salt
water. They are of varied size and habit, their color depending
to a considerable extent upon the absence or presence of incrusta-
tion, ranging thus from an intense bright-green or dark-green to
grayish. They generally form large masses and grow submerged
at depths up to at least 12 meters, but most often 2 meters or less,
frequently in pools of such a nature that they completely dry at
some seasons, the plants accordingly being subjected to extreme
changes in environment. They are often very fragile, both when
living and dried, whence one of their common names, Brittle-
worts; they are also frequently called Stoneworts. Most forms
have an unpleasant odor, resembling that of sulphuretted hydrogen.
They constitute an extremely natural group, with no very near rela-
tives. Among themselves with a comparatively simple structure
they present a great variety of differences, which have made their
specific limits difficult to ascertain.
Sexual reproduction takes place by means of antheridia and
odgonia. The odgonium originates as a naked cell which elongates
and divides by horizontal walls into three, of which the apical be-
comes ultimately the odspore, and the middle or stalk cell under-
goes no further division, but is usually concealed in the developing
sporocarp. The basal cell of thethree forms five superficial cells,
from each of which a cell begins to grow upward to envelop the
odsphere. Each enveloping cell divides into an upper and a lower;
the latter elongates and becomes spirally twisted, but does not again
divide.
These cells of the lower tier closely invest the odsphere, which
after fertilization b the odspore, their lines of contact showing
in later development asa series of more or less distinct ridges or striae
upon the spore. The number of striae thus seen is accordingly
five times the number of turns made by the spiral envelope in the
length of the spore, this number ranging from one to three or very
rarely more, though nearly definite for a given species. In prac-
tice it is always more convenient to count the striae. The five cells
(245 )
of the upper tier elongate but little and form the crown-cells, which
are however raised above the odsphere by the growth of the lower
cells, and sometimes again divide by transverse walls, thus forming
two superimposed rows, each of five cells. This is taken as the
primary basis for dividing the Characeae into two subfamilies, the
Chareae with five crown-cells and the Nitelleae with ten. These
are further separated, the former into four and the latter into two
genera, according to the relative positions of the antheridia and
oégonia. Both genera of the Nitelleae, Witel/a and Tolypella, are
well represented in North America, the latter perhaps attaining its
best development here, though of the Chareae the typical genus
Chara has alone been reported.
Characeae are either monoecious or dioecious. In Chara the an-
theridia are the terminal cells of metamorphosed leaflets, while the
odgonia arise from the basal cells of the leaflets, on their upper side.
In the monoecious species both kinds of organs are thus in close
proximity to one another, except in a few where the antheridia and
the odgonia are at different leaf-nodes though borne on the same
plant. Inall cases the antheridia tend to develop first, and often fall
off before the odspores mature; great caution must therefore be ex-
ercised in calling species dioecious. After fertilization the odgonia
increase greatly in size, owing to the growth of the oédspore and the
enveloping cells; the resulting body is here called the sporocarp.
The absence or presence of cortication, often a conspicuous fea-
ture, was originally considered the chief distinction between the
genera, but this has been found misleading. Cortication is never
found except in the Chareae, but even in this subfamily many species
are entirely uncorticated, one of these apparently having its closest re-
lationships with one of the highest groups of Chara
e development has long been known. On germination, the
odspore divides transversely to its long axis into two cells, a larger
which has no further function than to part with its contents to serve
as food for the young plant, and a smaller which again divides into
two by a wall parallel to the long axis of the spore. One of these
two becomes the primary root. The other elongates and divides
into a few cells, two of which become nodes, and from the lower
of these a number of rhizoids are formed, The upper node divides
into two cells, each of which separates off a superficial layer of cells.
The first cell of the latter to be formed produces by its successive
divisions the entire permanent plant, which thus obviously origi-
(246)
nates not as a direct growth from the spore, but as a bud from the
pro-embryo. The remaining cells of the upper node give rise
merely to rudimentary leaves.
The development of new cells from the growing point proceeds
uniformly throughout the entire plant, from the first division in the
first formed pro-embryonic superficial node-cell until the cessation
of growth, which is more or less indefinite, especially in perennial
species.
The growing point or apical cell first divides transversely into two,
a new apical cell, and what is known as the segment-cell, the former
enlarging somewhat and again dividing similarly an indefinite num-
ber of times.
The segment-cells thus formed have a uniform history. Each
divides by a transverse wall into two, and the lower of these be-
comes elongated, its ultimate length being most often from 2 to 10
cm., but it never undergoes further division. Such cells are the in-
ternodes. The node or upper division of the segment-cell elongates
very slightly, but is capable of division and from it all the remaining
parts are produced. It first divides into two, then each of these sep-
arates off a superficial cell, which divides into a variable number of
cells. These latter, following the same plan of division as the apical
cell of the stem, proceed to form long slender organs, called leaves,
which maintain the same succession of nodes and internodes, but
their number is usually fairly definite in any given species. In the
genus Chera,a cell segmented off from the inner side of that node-
cell which forms the first of these leaves, often gives rise to a branch,
which exactly repeats the history of the stem. Branches may be
formed at any node, and may even in their turn give rise to branches,
in which case the plants may appear bushy in spite of the slender-
ness of their stems. This appearance is also, and much more fre-
quently, due to luxuriant growth of the leaves or leaflets. From the
leaf-nodes leaflets are produced, but these do not divide and are
never corticated. On the anterior side of the leaf-nodes, too, the
sexual organs, antheridia and odgonia, are borne, and the leaflets
surrounding these, known as bracts when the Characeae were con-
sidered to be flowering plants, are perhaps better called (though
this name too is unsatisfactory) bracteoles. They are usually larger
than the leaflets at the sterile nodes. aking any individual node
into consideration, leaflets or bracteoles may be similar or very dif-
ferent; when the latter is the case, the posterior are nearly always
the smaller, often greatly reduced, or even wanting.
( 247 )
From the superficial nodal cells of the stems of the Chareae two
other classes of outgrowths may arise, simultaneously with the
leaves. Outside of the basal cell on which the leaves are borne, a
whorl of cells is cut off, which in some species remain undivided,
in others form two whorls, or in one non-American species three,
lying superimposed in the direction of the axis of the plant. These
are here called stipulodes. They sometimes remain quite small;
more frequently they elongate without division, resembling the leaflets
and the spine-cells.
All of the Nitelleae and some of the Chareae are entirely without
cortex, but the great majority of the latter possess one of varying
complexity. Sometimes both stem and leaves are corticated, less
often the stem only. When present, this cortex originates from the
node-cells at the same time as the leaves or leaflets, and completely
surrounds the internodes, growing step by step with them so that
they are completly enclosed. In extremely rare cases cortical cells
are produced which incompletely cover the internodes, as regards
either length or circumference.
In its most perfect development the cortex of the stem is formed
in the following way. From the basal nodal cell of each leaf one cor-
tical cell grows upwards and one downwards on the surface of the
stem-internodes, meeting similar cortical cells from the stem-nodes
above and below. The number of these cortical cells is thus the
same as that of the leaves, except that no ascending cell is produced
by a leaf in whose axil a branch is formed. The original cortical
cells cut off nodes and internodes from a terminal cell as in other
cases, and, as before, the internodes elongate, often very consider-
ably, but do not divide. The cortical node-cells divide into a deeper
one in contact with the stem-internode, and three lying side by side
on the surface. The two lateral of these form secondary cortical
cells which grow both upwards and downwards, separating the pri-
mary ones, meeting corresponding cells from the cortical nodes
above and below, and contiguous to similar secondary cells pro-
duced by the primary nodes of the rows to the right and the left. It
is obvious that the total number of rows of cortical cells is then three
times the number of the leaves; the stem is therefore said to be
triply corticated. This fact can be ascertained by actually counting
leaves and cortical rows. Further, the secondary cortical cells never
divide, hence nodal cells are found only in the primary rows, and
in most cases the nature of the cortex can be quickly learned by as-
(248)
certaining how many rows of secondary cells, if any, lie between
two successive primaries. There is yet another aid. The central
one of the three superficial cortical node-cells sometimes is small,
sometimes large, but very often grows out into a papilla or by
further elongation into a spine-cell which may be very long and
conspicuous. Spine-cells are never borne except at a cortical node-
cell, hence they are often of assistance in locating the latter. Spine-
cells usually occur singly, more rarely in pairs or threes, and become
more scattered as the cells become mature through the elongation of
the intervening cortical internodes. They can never occur except
upon corticated stems.
It is unusual to find such perfect or regular development, and
deviations from this type are of high diagnostic value in separating
species or at least groups of species. In some cases secondary cells
develop on both sides of a primary but grow very much more in
one longitudinal direction than the other ; sometimes they are formed
on one side only ; sometimes no secondary cells occur, in which case
the spine-cells are usually very well developed. The first of these
is undoubtedly a case of abnormal triple cortication, but as the num-
ber of cortical cells seen in a cross-section would be about twice that
of the leaves it has sometimes been described as double; the second
case is true double cortication; the last single. All these would
cause a reduction in the number of cells seen in a transverse section;
at times, however, the ends of two secondary cells slip past one
another, thus increasing the number between the primaries for a
part of the distance. In most species when they differ the primary
cells are larger or more prominent than the secondary; sometimes
the reverse is the case.
The cortex of the leaves is much simpler. The number of rows
is either once, twice, or thrice that of the leaflets; but all the
cortical cells of the leaves are derived from the leaf-nodes, for the
cells sent upwards and downwards do not form nodes and inter-
nodes but remain undivided, meeting similar cells from the next
underlying or overlying nodes near the middle of the internodes.
No cortical cell, however, grows upwards on the leaf from its basal
node, so that the lowest leaf-internode is corticated only by the cells
descending from the leaf-node above it; in some cases these too are
wanting and the lowest node of the leaf remains uncorticated. The
terminal internodes of the leaves are often uncorticated.
The permanent plants are anchored by long hyaline rhizoids
1 ch grow downwards from the lower nodes of the stem.

( 249 )
Reproduction is normally sexual. In some of the dioecious spe-
cies, antheridia are very rarely found and development must in many
cases be parthenogenetic. Vegetative multiplication also takes place
in various ways: by bulblets, formed upon either stem or rhizoids,
by branches with naked base, or by branches similar in all respects
except origin to the pro-embryos.
The systematic eccentricities of the family are of this nature.
When thoroughly understood a great majority of the plants collected
will fall with perfect distinctness into a few well-marked groups,
though more than one under the prevailing nomenclature is spoken
of as aspecies. Yet within the limits of these groups the differ-
ences may be very considerable and of the most varied nature.
Even a so-called variety may come to comprise plants which show
many distinguishing characters. Further, the grouping thus pro-
duced sets at defiance all laws of geographical distribution. Chara
fragilis Desv. is reported from all of the continents; Chara
gymnopitys A. Br. was originally described from Tasmania,
C. gymnopitys keukensts Allen from Lake Keuka in New York
State. Here the species and so-called variety are very different,
though certainly in the same group; in the other case plants from
Asia and America greatly resemble one another.
Again, the dioecious C. cazescens Loisel. is widely distributed in
Europe, but male plants have been collected on extremely few occa-
sions. It occurs in eastern America, although here male plants
seem unknown. But in the west of America, from the Saskatche-
wan to California, there occur two extremely similar species, C. Azr-
suta Allen and C. evoluta Allen, unquestionably monoecious, and
another species frequently identified with the last has been collected
in central Asia. C. canescens, generally known by its later name
C. crintta Wallr., in its European acceptation is an aggregate spe-
cies, but were it not for this one seemingly constant character C. evo-
Zuta would certainly not be the first species to be segregated from it.
It is at present the custom to divide these blanket species into
‘¢ forms,” and when this is done the latter are almost always found
to have a well-marked distribution, limited only too often to a single
pool. But so far as evidence is available, there is every reason to
believe that each form retains its peculiarities constant for long
periods of time. It might seem that the proper course of procedure
is to raise these forms to specific rank, but to this there are objec-
tions. The number of resulting species not only would be very
(250 )
great, but it would be impossible to characterize them. The aim
here has been to take a middle course. The wide view of species
seems entirely untenable, but the effort throughout has been to make
the segregations conservatively. Definite measurements are essen-
tial to the descriptions and often afford valuable characters. But a
Chara has but a few nodes and internodes, of necessarily different
ages, and the upper ones almost always have different dimensions
from the lower and more mature. The data given here are intended
primarily to represent the latter, but also to include all parts which
have assumed a quasi-final form. Much emphasis has been laid
by others upon the size of the spore, and this is often a good char-
acter. But spores, like other things, are of different sizes at dif-
ferent ages, and it is extremely desirable to have perfectly mature
material. Unfortunately it is often impossible to tell whether a
spore is fully mature or not, as the final appearance is reached
before it attains its full size.
The observer should guard against another source of error. Be-
sides the normal sporocarps there are found in many species others
of a different shape, usually nearly globular except for the crown-
cells, the odspores yellow or orange in color, often glistening, and
crowded with starch. Their true significance is not clear, but they
afford no characters of systematic importance, except that as a rule
the crown-cells resemble those of the normal sporocarps, and the
striae upon the odspore, though fainter, seem to be of the typical
number forthe species. Odspores which are either globular or yellow
should be viewed with suspicion. A few species in other respects
quite distinct are here described with such odspores. In these
cases it is believed that although the species will prove good, and
can be recognized by the vegetative characters, the description wil
require future emendation. The brown oéspores of some of the
best-known species are not to be confused with the yellow ones
above mentione
The most plaucible explanation of the name Chara is that it was
used in ancient times in southern France and northern Italy for Ca-
rum and other allied plants. From the resemblance of its whorled
leaves to the inflorescence of the umbellifers, the true Chara was
first included, and now monopolizes the name. It is much more
often said to be a literal rendering of, the Greek yapd, joy or
delight, supposed by some to indicate their fondness for water, by
others their effect when observed by the eye alone; others connect
(251)
it with the idea of a star, as it had previously been given to a con-
stellation. All are guesses, as no explanation was given by Vaillant,
who, in 1719, introduced the name.
The species were previously and indeed subsequently included in
other groups, Agu7setum and Hippuris especially, now known to
be very different, but all plants of more or less similar habitat and
habit. The first mention is by Pliny in his Natural History as an
Lquisetum ‘* with leaves like a pine”; but the more modern history
of the genus dates from Caspar Bauhin’s Pixax Theatri Botantct in
1623, where it is called ‘‘ Hgutsetum foetidum sub aqua repens,”
and placed between Starganium and Arundo. In the first edition
of the Genera Plantarum, 1737, Linnaeus places them in the
Algae between Pilularéa and Fucus; and in the first edition of
the Speczes Plantarum, 1753, they are so retained, with four
species, though now between Lichen and ZYremella. In 1478,
however, Linnaeus transferred them to the flowering plants among
the Monoecia Monandria, and this view became very prevalent and
persisted for many years. Most of his immediate successors, how-
ever, followed his earlier opinion and treated them as cryptogams.
By Adanson, in 1763, they were included in his family Ara
(aroids), which comprised such genera as Potamogeton, Isoétes,
Alga (= Zostera), Callitriche, Myriophylion, Ceratophyllon,
and Pluvialis (= Natas), between the two last of whic ara
was placed. In 1789, A. L. de Jussieu put them in the Naiades,
between Aztpuris and Ceratophyllum; Ventenat, in 1799, in the
ferns after Hguzsetum. The first author to separate them into a
family by themselves was Richard, in the botanical account of the
voyage of Humboldt and Bonpland, 1815, where they were placed
between Marsileaceae and Piperaceae. Their affinity with the
Algae has now long been conceded; not universally, however, as
Lindley and others have placed them with the mosses, while several
writers have considered them to belong to the vascular cryptogams.
As a matter of fact they do not approach very close to any other
group, but probably find their nearest affinity with the Coleochae-
taceae among the Chlorophyceae, and they should either be made
the ee order of this group, as is done in Engler and Prantl’s
diez, or made into a separate subkingdom, as by
ee He
The researches which led to a correct understanding of the family
were carried on by Wallroth, 1815; Waucher, 1821 ; Kaulfuss, 1825 ;
(252)
Bischoff, 1828; Pringsheim, 1862; Nordstedt, 1865; and de Bary,
1871. Especial reference must be made to Alexander Braun, who
illuminated every phase of the subject. The species were previ-
ously very imperfectly understood; many of them were aggregates
of little-related forms, but his investigations laid a firm base for all
future work. Unfortunately, when a former species or specific name
seemed unsatisfactory to him, he promptly discarded it, dealt sim-
ilarly with names given by himself, and counted mere herbarium
names and casual mention as the equivalent of publication. The
names adopted by him are still in general use, though in many cases
they have been departed from in this paper. More recent works
of taxonomic importance are by Migula upon the Characeae of
Europe; by H. and J. Groves upon those of the British Isles; and
by Nordstedt, whose descriptions include several American forms.
The first generic division was by Agardh in 1824, who separated
Nitella from Chara, taking as the distinguishing character the ab-
sence of cortex, still often, though wrongly, so considered. The real
nature of these two genera was first shown by Braun, who at a later
date, separated Lamprothamnus from Chara. He also made
Tolypfella a subgenus of Vitella; this was raised to generic rank
by von Leonhardi, in 1863, who at the same time similarly treated
Lychnothamnus, first recognized as a section of Chara by Ruprecht
in 1845. Chara obtusa Desv., placed subsequently in Vetella and
Lamprothamnus, was the last of the accepted genera to receive
recognition, which came from Hy in 1889, as Mtellopszs, and
Migula in the succeeding year applied to it the name Zolypellop-
szs, which, however, as a subgenus dated back to von Leonhardi
in 1863.
One other genus, Charopsis, to comprise uncorticated Chareae,
was proposed by Kiitzing in 1843, with Chara Braunii as the type,
but this character did not justify segregation, as he himself speedily
saw.
The first American reference to this group dates back as far as
1696, when Sloane, in his catalogue of plants of Jamaica, identifies
a plant from that island as the Aguzsetum foetidum sub agua
repens of Caspar Bauhin, already mentioned. His species was
probably C. haztensis Turpin.
The first continental American species to be recognized was
Chara foliolosa, sent under this name from Pennsylvania by Muhlen-
berg and described by Willdenow. American botanists confused
(253)
with this the widely different C. Schwednitzd7, distributed by the
collector after whom it is called. Braun was from an early date in
correspondence with American collectors, especially Engelmann,
and almost all publications here have been profoundly influenced
by him. Dr. T. F. Allen of New York has been by far the most
assiduous collector and student of the family on this side of the At-
lantic; he accumulated a very large herbarium, which has made the
present paper possible. He projected an extensive work, to include
all American representatives of the group, but was unable to com-
plete it. Many species were collected by Charles Wright, botanist
of the Mexican Boundary survey, in 1851-2. These passed through
the hands of Engelmann, Braun, and Allen, and have often been
cited.
The only paper yet published, intended to comprise all North
American representatives of the family, was by Halsted, in 1879.
The collections upon which it was based were mainly from New
England and the total was only 24: JV2tella 8 species, Tolypella 1
species, and Chara g species and 6 varieties. In Fragmente einer
Monographie der Characeen, compiled from Braun’s notes by
Nordstedt after the death of the former, and published in 1882, there
are North American identifications under 39 specific headings, 21
in Witella, 3 in Tolypella, and 15 in Chara, besides which many
varieties and forms are recorded.
n important paper covering a limited range is that of Woods in
the Flora of Nebraska, in which 5 species of JVétedla and 7 of Chara
are described and figured.

The Chareae are alone included in the scope of this paper, and
of the four genera, Chara is the only one so far collected in North
America.
The genus, as here divided, is represented in North America by
50 species, besides many aberrant forms, some of which will
doubtless be shown by further study and better material to be
worthy of addition to the number. Of these 50 species, 1 is known
from Greenland, 11 occur in Canada, 37 in the United States, 17
in Mexico or Central America, and 8 in the West Indies. No
one species is however known from all of these divisions, and this
remains true even if Braun’s specific limits be accepted, in which
case the nearest would be his C. gymnopus, which has its northern
limit in Lake Champlain, is well represented in the United States
and Mexico, and is much the predominant form in the West Indies
and in Central America.

The common American species of this group is C. Schweznztzit,
typical specimens of which are quite distinct from the European
Brauntt in several important characters. here are also
puzzling intermediate forms, but most of these are referable to
. Schweinttzit, to which also belong several of the plants placed
by Braun and Allen under C. Braunz?. There remain a few of
northern distribution which seem practically identical with Euro-
pean specimens. The southern hitherto assigned to this species are
here somewhat tentatively separated.

This species was originally based upon material sent to Europe
by Schweinitz, wrongly labeled C. foléolosa Muhl., which is very
different. A sheet so named in his handwriting, now in the her-
barium of the New York Botanical Garden, is however a Vitella,
while another labeled by him C. xdifica is C. Schwetnitztt.

characters belongs to the coz¢rarza group, but some portions of
the description were based on C. crénttiformis.

Many of the most glaring discrepancies of this description are due
to the difference between the two forms, but not all, as great varia-
tion may occur upon a single leaf. Both forms may be abnormal,
and the species, even with C. crénttiformzs excluded, is of very
doubtful value.
( 267 )
Chara intermedia A. Br. (not ‘the oldest name) has been re-
ported from America by several authors, and many sheets so named
are in the Allen herbarium, the range thus assigned being from
Maine, Quebec, and Alaska, to New Jersey, Texas, Mexico, South-
ern California, and even Chile. A careful examination of every
determinable sheet so named in the Allen herbarium has enforced a
profound conviction that this species is not found in America. The
true C, zxtermedia should be characterized, as distinguished from
C. contraria, by better developed stipulodes and spine-cells, by
having all the leaflets at sterile nodes nearly equally developed, and
the posterior at fertile nodes not greatly reduced; the odspores
should be dark-brown, 0.66—0.82 mm., very rarely under 0.7 mm.
long, 11-striate. The American plants usually have inconspicuous
stipulodes; spine-cells are extremely rare ; the leaflets can very rarely
be considered equal, and then only when all are very small; the pos-
terior bracteoles are greatly reduced; repeated measurements of
odspores, apparently fully mature and from widely separated local-
ities, gave lengths from 0.51-0.665 mm., mostly 0.58-0.65 mm.,
only two getting within the minimum limits for the species. They
are, moreover, much more slender than the European plants. On
the contrary, so far as can be judged from dried material, the plants
have the pinkish-green color of C. zztermedia, the odspores are
dark-brown and never have the sooty color so common in C. con-
trarta, and there are 11 or 12 striae. None of the three collection
numbers doubtfully assigned to this continent by Braun have been
seen, but from his description, and the examination of plants un-
doubtedly similar from kindred localities, it is believed they also are
to be excluded from the species. It is hard to believe that they
really represent C. contrarza, but that is certainly their nearest
affinity, and they are so placed for the present.
C. hispida L. is reported from New York State, but no Ameri-
can material so assignable has been seen, and it is not here included.

Distribution: Rhode Island to New Jersey and Illinois.
Exsiccatae: Allen, Char. Am. Exsicc. zo.
The species as here conceived is somewhat polymorphic, the New
Jersey plants being considerably more robust than those from
Rhode Island and Connecticut. Agreement on the more essential
characters seems however sufficiently close to warrant their union.
Nordstedt identifies with this a plant from Vera Cruz, Mexico,
which appears from the description to be somewhat different.
Turckheim 606, Alta Vera Paz, Guatemala, is also somewhat
closely allied, but too imperfect for accurate determination and
description.
Chara Martiana Wallm. Kong). Vet.-Akad. Handlingar 1852:
294. 1854, would certainly be, from the description, a species of
this group. Wallman published it supposing it to be C. Mar-
tiana A. Br., a dioecious species of the gymnopus group from
South America, which, however, had not then been published,
though casually mentioned. The name therefore belongs to Wall-
man’s plant and Braun’s must be renamed. Wallman’s description
is as follows:
‘©CyH. MarTiana: Caule subtilissime striato, striis rectis, in
sicco collapso, plano, inferne subnudo, superne aculeolato, aculeis
sparsis, minutissimis, diametro caulis multo brevioribus; involucro
densissimo, spinulis uniserialibus, patentibus, acicularibus, caulis
diametro longioribus; verticillis discretis, patenti-divaricatis, 10-12-
radiatis ; ramentis caule duplo augustioribus, 7—-8-articulatis, genicu-
lis constrictis, nodosis, obscurioribus, usque ad apicem bracteiferis ;
internodio basali proximis 2~3-plo breviori, monosiphonico, nudo,
ceteris inordinate alternatim simpliciter et composite tubulosis;
ramulis intercalaribus brevissimis ; bracteis angustissimis, cuspidatis,
interioribus 4: 2 longioribus, aequalibus, nuculam subaequantibus,
2 minoribus itidem aequalibus, nucula multo brevioribus, aversis
abbreviatis, saepe obsoletis. Monoica.

Nordstedt, however, has seen the original specimen, and says that
the description is partially wrong; that the stipulodes form a double
whorl, and that the plant really is C. sejumcta. It is not here cited
as a synonym of that species, because two specimens from re-
(277 )
lated regions, one from Mexico, the other from Colombia, while
both too fragmentary for description, are yet clearly sefusctae in a
wide sense, but if here described would be treated as distinct.

0.6-0.72 mm. long, 0.32—-0.44 mm. wide, with 5-7 prominent striae.
Type locality: Lakeside, San Diego County, California.
Distribution : Only known from type collection, and a species of
very doubtful validity. Many of the measurements relied upon by
Dr. Allen to separate it from C. Hornemannii were erroneous, and
if further collections should show that the narrowness of the fruit is
due to immaturity, it must be reduced to the status of arather luxu-
riant form. The fruit of both species is insufficiently known and
for that of C. Hornemannii Dr. Allen may have relied upon Braun’s
figure, which does not resemble any fruit on plants of this species
in the herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden. Braun de-
scribes the odspore of C. Hornemannii as i0-striate. :

sporocarps, and by having well-developed stipulodes in spite of the
short bracteoles.

seems very probable that both are forms with abnormal sporocarps.
If one or both are identical with C. fragzlzs the latter name must
be replaced, but without absolute certainty it is here considered in-
advisable to make any change in what is perhaps the longest-estab-
lished and most widely accepted specific name in the genus.

Originally considered a distinct species by Dr. Allen, but he was
persuaded to reduce it to a variety of C. aspera, which is its nearest
ally. It seems to be distinct, however, by having shorter stipulodes,
by the reduction of the spines to papillae, by the similar reduction
of the posterior leaflets, and by shorter bracteoles. Probably also
the striae upon the odspore are fewer than in any form of genuine
C. aspera.

Sometimes very luxuriant forms occur which seem referable to
this species, though the vegetative organs have dimensions much in
excess of the maximum figures given above. Those so seen were
not in mature fruit, and exact determination was impossible.
This was the first species of the gymnopus group to be described,
making its appearance in 1805, simultaneously with, but placed be-
fore C. zeylanica Willd. As C. compressa (the identity is very
probable, but not quite certain), it was again described in 1815. C.
haitensis appeared in 1826, C. ¢ndica in 1827, C. verticillata in
1832, C. armata and C. polyphylla in 1835. No species of the
group has ever been found in Europe, but as the other continents
were explored botanically each yielded new forms, all closely allied,
but still a little different. At first Braun believed that they could be
kept specifically distinct, but by 1844 he changed his views and
ranked them as subspecies, choosing as the specific name C. poly-
phylla, which thus in his hands temporarily acquired a wider mean-
ing, only to drop out of nomenclature altogether, except as a syn-
onym. In 1847, casual reference is made by Braun to a C. gymno-
pus, in 1849 this is located as Egyptian, but no description appeared
before 1868, when the name was published with a “double sense,
First the Egyptian plant is given this name and then reduced in a
note to varietal rank, and Chara gymnopus extended to cover all
triply corticated plants having the lowest leaf-internodes uncorti-
cated. If any regard at allis given to priority of publication, C.
fymnopus is antedated by 63 years, and numerous names. Yet H.
and J. Groves seem to be the only writers who do not use it to-day,
their choice being C. zeylanica. If, as here, the units are consid-
ered to be species, much of the nomenclatural difficulty vanishes.
Allen, at first following Braun, accepted all forms as varieties of
C. gymnopus, later he emphatically asserted their specific rank,
finally he seems to have reverted to his original position.

There seem to be two forms in this, represented by the two spe-
cific names by which the species was first known, C. haztensts
having somewhat longer leaflets and posterior bracteoles than C.
polyphylla. The extreme forms are fairly distinct, but there is
considerable variation on single plants and many intermediates
occur. Still longer leaflets and bracteoles would bring the plant
within the limits of C. folzolosa, and this in turn links though
not closely with C. elegazs. More difficult are some forms most
frequent in the Mississippi valley, which lie between typical C.
( 293 )
polyphylla and C. trichacantha, and are here doubtfully assigned to
the former. They may not unlikely prove different from both.
C. hattensts is well represented by Nash & Taylor, no. 7470,

The measurements given above are taken in part from Braun’s
descriptions, partly from Miller zo. 354, Orizaba, Mexico. Plants
more or less referable here have been collected from as far north
as Lake Erie. They are probably better placed with C. haztensis,
and may be distinct from both. No South American material of
this species has been available for examination.

An Enumeration of the Plants Collected in Bolivia by
Miguel Bang. Part 4*
With Descriptions of New Genera and Species
By HENRY H. RUSBY
The publication of this part completes the enumeration of all de-
terminable specimens of Mr. Bang’s Bolivian collections, with the
exception of the Gramineae and a considerable number of species
represented by scraps only, or by single specimens, and which do
not represent distributions. Among the last are a number of un-
described species, which may be published in connection with the
extensive Bolivian collections of Mr. R. S. Williams.
The determination of Bolivian grasses demands critical study
by specialists, which cannot now be given them, and the publication
of these plants must be deferred.

very loose, the branches strongly angled, the angles lightly winged ;
bracts about 1 mm. long and rather broader, ovate, keeled, whitish,
thick and rigid; pedicels similar, about 4 mm. long, 2-bracted at
the middle and at the summit, thickened upward ; buds subglobular,
about 3 mm. broad; outer sepals 3 mm., inner 6 mm. long; petals

489 is not ‘‘ EROTIUM SUBINTEGRIFOLIUM,” but a distinct species.
In the Kew herbarium the specimen of the same collected by
Pentland is labeled ‘* Preztera subdimidiata Planch.,” but I
cannot find that this name has been published.

Dr. Britton applied the name BZ. bolzvzana to Rusby’s xo. 2577,
but by an inadvertence my publication referred it to Mr. Bang’s
specimen of B. Ol¢vertt. I have thus unfortunately reduced the
name ‘BL. boltviana” to a synonym, and my zo. 2577 must be
described under a new name.

(314)
393, ‘*CLETHRA BRASILIENSIS,” I now regard as C. TINIFOLIA
Sw. Prodr. Veg. Ind. Occ. 74
4403 is probably the same as the preceding, and is the same as
specimens collected by Pearce at Sandillani, 7000-8000 ft., April,
1865. Itis not clear as to how great is the variation in length of
bracts in the same species, in this genus. Apparently, the char-
acter is extremely variable.
717, ‘* CLETHRA BREVIFOLIA,” is
Clethra cuneata sp. nov

pistil about as long as the calyx, lance-ovoid.
(315)
Vic. Cochabamba, 1891.
1720 is MANDEVILLA Bancitt, as published, but it now appears that
Mr. Bang sent a second species under this number. If an
of these were distributed, they can be recognized by the following
description. They appear identical with specimens collected by
Lorenz at Tucuman and labeled in Herb. Kew ‘ chttes
funtformis Griseb.” But there is an Lchétes funtformzs Vell.,
which is not Mr. Bang’s plant.
Mandevilla subcordata sp. nov.
Glabrous except the finely puberulent ae and lower leaf-sur-
faces; branches slender, the internodes elongated; petioles 1.25-3
cm. long, slender ; blades 6-8 cm. long, 4-6 cm. wide, oval to ovate,
lightly cordate, abruptly short-acuminate and acute, membrana-
ceous, slightly shining above, puberulent underneath, the reddish
secondaries 14-16 pairs, the venation finely reticulate, not promi-
dibular, the anthers about at the middle or a little higher; a
lobes 3 cm. long and nearly as te. obovate; anthers 6 m
long; fruit not seen
Near snow-line, Mt. Tunari, 1891.
r065, omitted, is MANDEVILLA Banei.
249, omitted, is (?) DipLapEentA 1LLusTRis A. DC. Prodr. 8: 483.
e same form was collected by Pearce at Pintobamba, 6000-
yooo feet, November, 1863. The form is less tomentose than
Brazilian specimens, Glaztou 17134.
985, ‘*SARCOSTEMMA INCANUM A. DC.,” is
Oxystelma Vailiae sp. nov.
Finely canescent throughout; ee very slender, purplish-
green, finely striate; petioles 1-2 . long, slender, lightly chan-
neled above, faintly keeled inoue blades 1-3 cm. long, 0.7-1.5
cm. broad, triangular-ovate or slightly hastate, cordate by a a
shallow sinus, the lobes rounded, acute at the apex, thin, pale-gree
the venation slender, inconspicuous, slightly 3 -nerved by the rong:
basal secondaries; peduncles 1-2 cm. long; umbels 5—10-flowered ;
pedicels sna mostly longer at maturity ‘tan the peduncles; calyx
green, rotate, about 8 mm. broad, divided nearly to the base, the
lobes Cage acuminate a and acute; corolla sulphur-
yellow with a purple eye, 2 cm. broad, subrotate, shallowly 5-
lobed, the lobes triangulate ; outer crown purple, closely adnate to
the corolla; scales of the inner crown about 2 mm. long, saccate,
(316 )
panied laterally compressed, minutely 2-ligulate upon the inner
Vie. Cociubano 1891. (Mos. 985, type, and 2005.) Thesame
collected in Bolivia by Brzdges.
479, ‘* DITASSA LANCEOLATA,” is certainly not that species, and is
apparently not described, but the inflorescence is too young for a
determination. It was first regarded as identical with A/andon
354 and Holton 456, so-called, but these represent still another
species, which is undescribed.

enumeration was going through the press, Dr. Gilg (Bot. Jahrb.
22: 301-347. 1896) published a large number of new species of
Gentianaceae from Bolivia, and a number of my new species were
among them. Being in the country, I did not learn of the publica-
tion in time, and a number of synonyms resulted, as follows:

mentum, under side lighter-colored ; larger leaves on specimen about
20 cm. long, 10.5 cm. broad, the smaller 8-12 cm. long, 3.5-8.5
cm. broad; petiole of larger leaves 10-11 cm. long; panicle leafy;
pedicels not so long as in W. her nandioides ; fruiting pedicels

This plant has ovate-lanceolate, ie aida leaves which are
(329)
about twice as long as broad. The pedicels are shorter than those
of W. hernandioides Garcke. It is quite different from W. decora
recently described by Mr. Spencer Moore (Trans. Linn. Soc. II. 4:
312) from Puerto Pachico; but may be identical with W. gymnan-
themum K. Sch., a plant which I only know from description, but
the petioles here are more than double the length given by Dr.
Schumann (FI. Bras. 12%: 446). The lamina of the leaf also
appears to be very much larger.

to Bombax longiflorum K. Schum. and B&B. cyathophorum K.

coverer, Dr. H. H. Rusby.
(Mr. Bang’s specimens of this number were accompanied by the following
note: ‘‘ More flowers and fruits to be sent next. The leaves all dropped off
now, and buds already coming out.”” This note doubtless refers to the cor-
iaceous leaves, which fall just as the next year’s growth commences, The
specimens were followed, according to promise, by others, but the latter
were evidently taken from a different tree and present marked differences.

This very interesting plant differs from the meager descriptions
of the little known genus Lazéertza in the presence of the ligules
of the calyx, which may very easily have been overlooked in pre-

may develop something very different from the slender follicles de-
scribed. When better known it may be found to represent an un-
described genus.

A large herb (?) with simple, membranaceous, flaccid leaves and
lax, terminal clusters of cymes which elongate by the successive
evolution of the branches of one side. he rachis is nodose by

are nearly those of Poeczlochroma, but the habit, and eee
the foliage and inflorescence, are totally different.

This fine species is more nearly allied to A. ornatum Schott,
than to any other at present described; it differs from that plant in
having the sinus of the leaf enclosed by the overlapping basal lobes,
and by the much broader spathe which has overlapping basal
auricles, whilst in A. orzatum, the spathe is decurrent at the base.

A Percutiar Group or SOLANACEAE.
Since the printing of the preceding signatures, I have learned that
Mr. Bang’s zo. 1270 was a mixture of two species. One of these is
said by Dammer (Bot. Jahrb. 37:639. 1906) to be Brachistus
tetrandrus (Br. & Bouché) B. & H., a plant that I do not know.
The other agrees exactly with the figure of Ruiz & Pavon of their
Solanum anceps. It is the same as Rusby 766 and Bang 2513
and 2526. This species I transferred (Bull. Torrey Club 26: 197)
to the genus Bassovia. No one with a modern knowledge of the
genera of Solanznae could regard this plant as a Solanum. In
general habit, anthotaxy, calyx, corolla and fruit, it is a perfect
Bassovia. Its stamens show a partial tendency to be separate as in
Bassovia, but they end in pores, and these pores are exceptionally
large and conspicuous, and of peculiar appearance, and are con-
tinued into sutures, as in Cyphomandra. e anthers, moreover,
are somewhat enlarged upward. These characters would exclude
the plant from every genus except Solanum and Cyphomandra,
and the latter is outside of consideration here.
n page 420 of this paper, I have described ‘+ Solanum (?)
bassovitcarpum,” and have said that I placed it in Solanum with
reluctance. A comparison shows it to have exactly the same
anther-characters as those of S. anceps.
In Bull. Torrey Club 26: 194, I have described ‘+ S. psédézfol-
zum.” When Dr. Britton first received this plant, he called it
“‘Bassovia Rusbyz” (MS.), but I could not admit it to that genus,
because of its anther-characters, now seen to be the same as those
of the plants above discussed. My ‘+S. Lindent?” (Mem. Torrey
Club 6:88) is so close to the last-named that it may be only a
variety of it. My ‘+S. clavatum” (i. c. 87) has the same anthers, as
has “+.S. brevipedunculatum” (ante, page 421). There are other
peculiarities in which all the plants above named agree. They
have scorpioid pseudo-racemes, the rachis nodose with the pedicel-
bases of the fallen flowers. However different the foliage of the
species, there is also a similarity, indescribable perhaps, but be-
speaking relationship. There is a very strong similarity between
these plants and the genus Bassovza, and one is inclined to regard
them as forming a section of that genus, but the striking anther-
characters appear to forbid this course. The other course is to
regard them as forming a distinct genus. This is probably what I
(470 )
shall do, but the subject requires more study than I can bestow
upon it before publishing this paper.
The puzzling and contradictory characters of the Bassovia—
Brachistus group have led me into other errors, and I must now
make the following admissio
Bassovia Fendlert Rusby “(Bull. Torrey Club 26: 197) is Bra-
chistus Fendleri. Bassovia inaeguilatera Rusby (Mem. Torrey
Club 6:90), as to Bang 1708, but probably not Rusby 765, is
Brachistus inaequilaterus.
In the genus MiconiA, in the present paper, are several unfor-
tunate typographical errors in the citation of collection-numbers.
These should be corrected as follows:
