This’ book deals chiefly with the distribution of the flora near
New York. Taxonomy and nomenclature are considered only as
fundamentals upon which the phytogeographical structure of the
book has been reared. This has been done because of the belief
that local flora lists and manuals are significant chiefly as they are
projectors of ideas rather than mere records of species, be those
records ever so accurate. The attempt to explain the origin of
the flora centering near the city, and the factors that have played
their part in shaping its present composition, has, it seems to the
writer, greater value than any enumeration of the species could
possibly have.
The opportunity for deductive reasoning on the distribution of
our flora can be rightly based only on a complete and accurate
record of the occurrence of individual species, authenticated by
herbarium specimens and reliable field notes. Our knowledge,
therefore, is limited by the amount and the availability of such
information, and, in the present instance, no one is so conscious
of the scarcity of such material as the writer. The book, therefore,
is not so much a local flora as a method of writing one,—in some
ways it is little more than a record of the incompleteness of our
present knowledge.
The work was begun at the New York Botanical Garden, in
January, 1909, and continued until March, 1911. Since then it
has been carried on at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, where a
division of time between it and increasing administrative duties
became necessary. To the directors of both institutions grateful
acknowledgement is due for much help and encouragement.
The book has been greatly strengthened by many notes on
distribution and other matters contributed by Messrs. E. P.
Bicknell and K. K. Mackenzie and by Dr. Britton, all of whom
have read the proofs. Without their help the book must have
been deficient in many respects, and the writer gratefully acknowl-
edges their cooperation.
vi PREFACE
To others who have also helped by the collection of specimens,
notes and other information, the writer is glad to make acknowl-
edgments. Among those who have helped in various ways are:
Professor M. L. Fernald, Stewardson Brown, Bayard Long,
Dr. Witmer Stone, Miss F. A. Mulford, Harold W. Pretz, Dr.
F. W. Pennell, Dr. Roland M. Harper, Dr. Philip Dowell, and
Dr. G. E. Nichols. To Dr. Arthur Hollick the writer is under
great obligations for much aid in the considerable geological data
used in the book. He is also indebted to Mr. Sereno Stetson for
making the original base map which has been used in a number of
ways in the book. Several genera and families, and a bibliography,
have been contributed by specialists and such contributions are
noted in the text. Mr. Percy Wilson, of the New York Botanical
Garden, has kindly aided in the determination of many specimens,
and in other ways.
In order to base the book on a descriptive illustrated work, the
taxonomy and nomenclature have been brought into substantial
accord with the second edition of ‘Illustrated Flora of the Nor-
thern States and Canada,’’ which was published about the time
the manuscript of the present book was completed, and to which
reference is made for additional synonyms. ‘This does not imply,
however, that the writer favors all the generic and specific de-
limitations of that work, nor all the nomenclatorial changes there
proposed.
The interest of Dr. N. L. Britton has been continued until the
completion of the work, and the author takes great pleasure in
acknowledging his help and valued criticism, without which the
book could scarcely have been written.

INT RODUCTION*
I. The range covered by this book is that laid down by the
committee on local flora of the Torrey Botanical Club in their
Preliminary Catalogue of 1888. It comprises all of the state of
Connecticut; Long Island; in New York the counties bordering
the Hudson River up to and including Columbia and Greene, also
Sullivan and Delaware counties; all of New Jersey; and Pike,
Wayne, Monroe, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Northampton, Lehigh,
Carbon, Bucks, Berks, Schuylkill, Montgomery, Philadelphia,
Delaware and Chester counties in Pennsylvania. (See map, fi. 1.)
When making a botanical survey, an area such as this, determined
wholly by political boundary lines has many disadvantages over
purely natural vegetation-regions, such as the pine-barrens, for
instance. But it has seemed advisable to adopt the range as
outlined by the committee in spite of obvious drawbacks.
2. The method of working out the problem of the distribution
of our local plants has been, after determining what species
actually occurred in the range, to list all the localities for which
specimens were extant. Published records, of whatever sort,
have been closely studied, and the results of such studies have been
added to the records substantiated by specimens, wherever, in
the judgment of the writer, these records were deemed reliable.
Such published records have, however, been very sparingly used
in the grasses, sedges, Crataegus, Rubus, Rosa and Viola. Recent
studies in these groups make it unsafe to base conclusions upon
the old records of species, many of which are not today tenable
or are regarded in a new or restricted sense. The writer has made
no effort to include records published since January 1, 1914, although
some of these recent records are noted. All of the native and
introduced species contained in the manuals have been included,
besides many more, mentioned in notes, that are little more than
waifs. All the genera and species are provided with keys, which
have been omitted for waifs and other plants mentioned only in
* Much of this introductory matter was completed with the aid of a grant from the
Esther Herrman Research Fund, of the New York Academy of Sciences.

2 INTRODUCTION
notes. The keys and general ranges have been copied from “‘Illus-
trated Flora,’’ except where simplicity demanded a different key
owing to the limited number of species in our area. There are
2,651 species admitted into the work, excluding waifs. Subtract-
ing also the 613 weeds of introduction we have 2,038 native species
in the area. No species are described as new.
3. With this information as a basis, the distributional trends
of each species, except the commonest or those introduced,
have been given for the states of Connecticut and New Jersey,
and for those parts of the states of New York and Pennsylvania
contained in the range. Wherever a state or part of it is omitted
from the discussion of the distribution, it is understood that the
species has not been recorded from the omitted area. Besides
this, the distribution of each species as affected by the geological
history, the temperature, and the altitudinal limits of the area
has been given. The latter features of the work will be explained
subsequently.
FACTORS AFFECTING THE DISTRIBUTION OF OUR LOCAL FLORA
4. The composition of the flora of a region such as ours has
been determined by many agencies, some now operative, many
of them long since inactive, but leaving indelible traces of their
former importance. For all practical purposes, these agencies
may be divided into (I) edaphic factors and (II) climatic ones.
Under the first category must be considered all questions of the
relation of our flora to the soil and available water supply, both
past and present,—which ipso facto have been determined by the
geological history of the region. Thus it is only by some knowl-
edge of the geology of the area that we can arrive at conclusions of
value in regard to the complexion of our flora as affected by these
historical factors. Under the second category (climatic factors)
will be considered the relation of our flora to temperature, rainfall
and winds, although in a temperate region such as ours the last
two are of very little significance. We have, then, the edaphic or
historical factors, which may be said to have exercised more in-
fluence in the past than now, and the climatic factors which
are still operative. The mental convenience of considering these
two sets of factors by themselves is apt to create the feeling that
there is some rather sharp line of demarcation between them. Of
INTRODUCTION 3
course, any such idea is wholly inaccurate, and the difficulty of
determining, in any given instance, which factor has been most
potent must be obvious to those who appreciate the complexity
of the relationship between these historical and present-day
agencies.
I. Epapuic Factors (GEOLOGY OF THE RANGE)
(a) The Glaciated Region
5. Perhaps nowhere in eastern North America are there so
many features of geological interest as within the area covered
by this work. Within forty miles of the city the terminal moraine,
the upper edge of the coastal plain, the northern edge of the Cre-
taceous deposits all converge. On Long Island is the unique
juxtaposition of the coastal plain and the glaciated country. The
variety of conditions and immensity of age differences postulated
by these facts help to explain the fact that more than 400 species
reach their distribution outposts within the area covered by this
book.
6. For the purposes of the phytogeographer the range covered
by the work may be divided into glaciated and unglaciated. The
extreme southern limit of the several encroachments of the dif-
ferent continental ice sheets, known as the terminal moraine,
extends, roughly speaking, from Montauk, through Long Island
and Staten Island, to upper New Jersey and Pennsylvania. (See
map, pl. 2.) Everything north of this line was once covered by
ice, varying in thickness from almost nothing near the edge to
some thousands of feet in the north towards the centers of glacia-
tion. It is obvious that this ice sheet, being approximately the
most recent geological phenomenon, nullifies completely what
might have been the very considerable effects of the much older
geological formations north of the terminal moraine on the vege-
tation. Geologically the area north of the moraine is of greater
antiquity than anything else in our range; practically, so far
as vegetative covering is concerned, it is the most recent, for the
recession of the ice is the last major geological phenomenon opera-
tive hereabouts. An exception to the statement that the ice-
sheet nullifies the older geological formations north of the moraine,
are the somewhat extensive limestone areas in the glaciated
4 INTRODUCTION
country, notably in Columbia, and Dutchess counties in New York,
Sussex Co. in New Jersey, and some parts of Connecticut and
Pennsylvania. While it is true that these peculiar limestone out-
crops maintain a characteristic flora, it is doubtful if there are any
species of plants endemic upon them. ‘The limestone thus appears
rather as maintaining an aggregate of characteristic species than
as definitely controlling the distribution or evolutionary history
of any particular species. I think there is no species in our area
that has been collected only on limestone, but many that seem to
predominate there, notably some Crataegus, Amelanchier, sedges,
Camptosorus, Asplenium, and a few others.
7. The glaciated part of our range contains many ponds,
swamps, and bogs and it is the latter that are of chief interest
to the botanist. These undrained areas, usually, though not al-
ways, deficient in lime, and exhibiting a high degree of acidity,
maintain a flora quite characteristic. It has been shown that
that section of our area which was neither glaciated nor on the
coastal plain does not contain the plants characteristic of the
glacial bogs of the north and also found in the typical cranberry
bogs of the coastal plain. It is certainly true that bogs are un-
known in this region (see map, pl. 2), and that it contains no lakes
or ponds of any size. It is significant that the following plants
are found in the bogs of the coastal plain, mainly in the pine-
barrens, and also north of the moraine, but unknown in the inter-
vening unglaciated Piedmont Plateau in New Jersey; in Penn-
sylvania further study is necessary on this point.

There are many others,* and future studies may be able to show
that there is some other reason for the non-occurrence of these
plants than the failure of this unglaciated area north of the
coastal plain to develop bogs and ponds.

8. It will give some idea of the profound influence the conti-
nental glacier has probably had on the vegetation in the range to
record the large number of species that are now found only north
of the moraine. The following are unknown, in our area, south
of this line, although some are found further south in the moun-
tains outside of our region. Those marked with an asterisk have
been found only at elevations in excess of 1,000 ft.

Of the 2,038 species, excluding weeds, in the range, the above
constitute 8.22 per cent. of the total.
9. The glaciated portion of our range, besides being the home
of so many native plants not found elsewhere, is typified by the
large percentage of hard-wood trees, the relative scarcity, numer-
ically, of coniferous trees, and above all by the great number
(595) of species that are introduced. Perhaps three fourths of all
adventive and naturalized species find their greatest development
in this area. That there is some relation between the vegetative
newness of this region and the preponderance of these adventive
weeds seems likely, and the much greater agricultural develop-
ment has undoubtedly had something to do with the weediness
of the region. It is significant that, in our range, the percentage
of weeds on the coastal plain is nothing like so great as in the
glaciated region.
10. In speaking of the distribution of the species from a geo-
logical standpoint, it has seemed best to refer to all formations
north of the coastal plain simply as ‘‘Older Formations,” notwith-
standing the fact that the glaciated part of the area thus char-
acterized is more recent phytogeographically, than the coastal
plain. (See paragraph 6.)
8 INTRODUCTION
(b) The Coastal Plain
11. The area comprising the coastal plain, includes all that
territory lying south of a line extending approximately from
Trenton, N. J., through Staten Island to Long Island. (See
map, pl. 2.) All of this region is geologically the most recent in
our area, having been the last to be laid down before the era of the
ice which directly affected, with exceptions already noted, only
the area mentioned in paragraphs 5-10. An exception to this
statement is Long Island, where we have the terminal moraine
abutting directly on the coastal plain for nearly the whole length
of the island,—a geologically unique feature in this country.
12. Whether the region south of the moraine on Long Island is
mostly overlaid by overwash material from the glacier or whether
the sands and gravels of the ‘South Side’”’ are the underlying
Tertiary formations may be matter of doubt. It would make an
interesting future study to determine the effect, if any, of the
distribution of these different sands and gravels on the distribu-
tion of the plants on the island. A study of this sort was found
to be too intensive for this work and the writer has usually con-
fined himself to a statement as to whether the species is found
north or south of the moraine.
13. It is in New Jersey that the coastal plain exhibits its chief
interest to the botanist, for this is the region of the pine-barrens.
the peculiarly characteristic features of which have always at-
tracted the interest of botanists and zoologists. Indeed, the
region is so unusual that the ordinary traveler is at once struck
with the difference between these sandy plains and pine-tree vege-
tation, and the richer flora further north. The excellent flora* of
this region by Dr. Witmer Stone has renewed interest in this
botanically unique country.
14. The true limits of the pine-barrens are perhaps for the first
time clearly drawn by Stone in this work, there having been
previously considerable difference of opinion as to how far south
in New Jersey the true pine-barren element extended. Formerly
the pine-barrens were supposed to consist of all the remainder of
the state south of their northern edge, but explorations of the
botanists of Philadelphia have resulted in a final delimitation of

this interesting region. The map (fl. 3) copied from Stone’s book
well shows the limits of the pine-barrens. The darker colored
portion surrounding the white is not pine-barren in character,
and maintains a very different flora from the pine-barrens.
15. The writer in 1912 (Torreya 12: 229-242) has attempted —
to show that the pine-barrens are the result of geologic processes,
and part of that paper is here utilized. Dr. Stone in his flora of
the pine-barrens, perhaps the best local flora ever written in
America, has said: ‘“‘Some attempt has been made to correlate
these areas or parts of them (the coastal plain, including the pine-
barrens) with the underlying geological formation, but . . . such
correlation is not possible.”
16. It is the firm conviction of the writer that notwithstanding
this assertion, it will be found that a geological explanation is
the only one that will fit the facts and serve to elucidate the pe-
culiarly local, often endemic, nature of the pine-barren flora.
Others have also sought geological explanation for the origin of
this region, and a paleobotanist was the first to suggest the possi-
bility of there being any relationship between the flora and the
geology of southern New Jersey.* It was Hollick’s suggestion
that the pine-barrens are co-extensive with the Tertiary sands
and gravels that Stone has shown must be revised. Recent |
collections, the significance of which was, of course, unknown to
Hollick in 1899, have led to the abandonment of his theory that
the pine-barrens or ‘“‘coniferous zone’’ are co-extensive with the
Tertiary sands and gravels.
17. Much later, we find Harshberger} attributing the vegeta-
tion about the edges of the pine-barrens to the “post Pensauken
uplift of the New Jersey geologists.” But he follows Hollick in
saying that “the Tertiary soils extend southward along the
Atlantic Ocean to Florida and are occupied by a pine-barren
flora.”{ This, as Stone’s work has shown, must be modified.
But this statement of Hollick’s, subsequently used in Harsh-

upon presentation of a theory more nearly fitting the known facts.
While the pine-barrens do occupy Tertiary soils, they do not
occupy all of them. It is just this lack of co-extensiveness of the
pine-barrens in New Jersey with the Tertiary that has led to Dr.
Stone’s scepticism.
18. At the risk of burdening the present work with more of
technical geological matters than are usually found in a purely
botanical survey, the writer feels it is only by a knowledge of what
the geological changes have been, on the coastal plain in New Jersey,
that we can arrive at the facts in the distribution of the plants
of the region. For here, it seems, the whole make-up of the flora
is directly attributable to the geological processes that are de-
scribed in the next succeeding paragraphs.
19. Going back to the time when all the coastal part of New
Jersey south of a line from Jersey City to Flemington (see map,
pl. 1) was under water, owing to the last great general sub-
mergence of the continent, we find that during this period a great
deal of erosion of the unsubmerged land took place. This sinking
of the coastal part of New Jersey, and of course elsewhere, known
to geologists as the Miocene sinking,* had a profound influence on
the configuration of the lower part of the state. All the material
from the north and northwest that was washed down, or eroded,
went out with the water and was finally deposited over this sub-
merged area, and this deposition went on for countless ages. Ul ti-
mately this Beacon Hill formation, as the deposited material is
called, became very thick, covering practically all the lower part
of the state.
20. “After the deposition of the Beacon Hill formation, the
area over which it had been spread was again elevated, and the
history of the topography of all that part of the state, which was
covered by the formation, . . . dates from this reémergence of
the surface covered by the Beacon Hill formation.”} This emer-
gence of the land is spoken of by geologists as the Post-Miocene
uplift or Pre-Pensauken cycle of erosion. Whatever the termin-
ology used, the result was to bring above water most of the land
that had been previously submerged. Not quite all of it, however,
for the land was not perfectly level, and only the highest portions

INTRODUCTION If
came out of the water. Some of what is now the coastal strip of
New Jersey, all the Cape May region, some of the territory just
north of the pine-barrens, and much of the lower Delaware Valley,
was either not above water at all, or only slightly so, and in the
latter case was soon considerably eroded. This cutting down of
the emerged Beacon Hill by erosion, particularly to the south and
east, was very great, so that finally it was a very different region
from the great upland plain it is supposed to have been immedia-
tely after the Post-Miocene uplift.
21. This erosion of the Beacon Hill formation was brought to
an end finally by the gradual subsidence of the whole region.
Little by little the lower part of New Jersey sank so that ulti-
mately everything except the then upland Beacon Hill formation
(the present pine-barrens) was submerged (Pensauken Submer-
gence). It is curious to note, by the way, that the encroachment
of the sea thus occasioned by this submergence has been marked
by several plants that are normally salt-marsh species, which seem
to have followed this ancient marine shore-line. On the northern
and southern edges of the dotted area on the map (Pl. 4), have been
found Hibiscus Moscheutos (see pl. 9) and Ptilimnium capillaceum,
and there may be others. ‘This dotted area is the old Pensauken
Sound and it is significant that these maritime species should be
found today miles from the sea and evidently relics of their
migration along the shores of Pensauken Sound. At least, the
Hibiscus has spread so that it occupies some stations in the middle
of the old Sound bed, notably near Spotswood, Middlesex Co.,
and near Princeton Junction.
22. The map (fl. 4) shows the extent of this submergence, as
everything covered by the dotted area was under water. The
undotted light area was not submerged, and has never since been
submerged. After an indefinite period of subsidence the whole
dotted area was again raised so that all of lower New Jersey as we
know it today came out of the water. The Pensauken formation,
which is the geologists’ name for most of the material eroded from
the uninterruptedly emerged Beacon Hill, was itself subject to
erosion, giving us the present characteristic stream beds of the
coastal plain in the state.
23. The next step of serious significance was the encroachment
of the ice-sheet, which came down to Perth Amboy, not more
12 INTRODUCTION
than 12-20 miles north of the Beacon Hill formation. At the
final recession of the ice there is some evidence of another slight
subsidence of the lower part of the state and the coastal region,
but not enough to have brought the Beacon Hill formation any-
where near down to sea level. This last subsidence of the coastal
strip and the Cape May region had a significant influence upon the
distribution of the plants of the area. It seems very probable
that a gradual sinking of this region has been going on ever since,
as the sea has constantly encroached upon the land throughout
maritime New Jersey, as indeed it has in Staten Island, Long
Island, and further north.
24. Whether one follows Johnson* in believing that this sub-
sidence of the coastal part of our area is not recent or continuing
or Bartlett} that it is both recent and continuing, does not matter
so much for our present purposes. Both agree, and the evidence
is of such a nature that it appears incontestable, that there was a
great deal of ancient subsidence. In Cape May County this has
been of such an extent that whole regions covered by forests of
white cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides) have been submerged,
emerged, and submerged again. This, repeated several times, has
resulted in a great accumulation of buried forests. ‘‘ Trunks of
trees are found buried at all depths beneath the surface, quite down
to the gravel.”’t This and ‘‘numerous facts of the same kind
. collected along the shores of the Delaware Bay and River, in
Salem and Cumberland Counties, and on the sea-shore in Atlantic,
Ocean, Monmouth, and Middlesex Counties,’’ all seem to point to
a decided ancient submergence of the area surrounding the Beacon
Hill formation.
25. So much for a brief outline of the geological sequence of
events in the pine-barren area. For the phytogeographer, the
salient features of these changes are that Beacon Hill has been
uninterruptedly out of the water since upper Miocene times, and
that it has several times been partly, and often entirely surrounded
by water. These facts, together with the encroachment of the
glacier, and its recession, with the probable deposition of a great

deal of morainic material around Beacon Hill, makes this forma-
tion the oldest in New Jersey, either on the coastal plain or in the
glaciated regions northward, that could have been continuously
covered with vegetation. This, it would seem, is why the Beacon
Hill formation is the controlling factor in the origin and present
distribution of the pine-barrens. The area of the pine-barrens
(see pl. 3) is not exactly coextenive with Beacon Hill (see pl. 4),
but the differences are so slight that recent and local erosion of
the formation would account for the failure of the two regions to
superimpose, as it were.
26. In other words, the New Jersey pine-barrens exist exclu-
sively on this Beacon Hill formation, an area isolated by geological
processes, and maintaining a relict or climax flora, the antiquity
of which greatly antedates any of the rest of our vegetation here-
abouts, so far as permanency of position and phytogeographical
isolation are concerned. This undoubtedly accounts for the com-
position of the flora, and it is interesting to note that zoologists
have found this same apparent isolation, the same endemism
noted above. The sphagnum frog, Rana virgatipes, described by
Cope and collected only thrice since, is unknown outside of this
region,* and the late John B. Smith in his work on the insects of
New Jersey has figured the ‘“‘entomological pine-barrens”’ as very
nearly coinciding with the floral pine-barrens.t
Effects of the Geologic Changes Described Above
27. In the light of this historical outline it should be easy to
trace the development of the vegetation of the coastal plain from
the Miocene uplift until the present. Ancestrally it must have
consisted of purely American plants, and many of these, in all
probability, were of southern extraction.{ Of the 565 species
found growing here, not counting weeds, 386 are listed as truly
pine-barren. This does not mean that they are found nowhere
else, but that so far as New Jersey is concerned these plants find
their greatest development in the pine-barrens. There is a small
element among them practically unknown outside of the pine-

29. It would seem that many of these, and some northern species

coastal plain, have spread there since the release of the Beacon Hill
formation from its last isolation. There are many species found
now on the coastal plain of New Jersey and on Long Island whose
distribution center, so far as our range is concerned, seems to have
been the pine-barrens. Among those that- give indication, by

30. At the advance of the ice there must have been a great
invasion of this region by northern species, many of which are
still to be found within our area. Just what the character of these
plants was it is impossible to say with any degree of definiteness,
although specimens of Canadian inter-glacial fossils indicate many
genera, perhaps even species that exist in the north today. In the
absence of any definite information, as to what this pre-glacial
flora consisted of, it seems best to append a list of plants that while
not certainly referable to pre-glacial conditions, are now known
only from the north, reaching their southerly distribution point,
at the present time, within the area covered by this work.

This northern element constitutes 8.32 per cent. of the wild flora.
31. Besides all these, there are hundreds more that are to be
considered as of northern extraction, but are today found further
south than our range. At the encroachment of the ice south-
ward, all of these northern species or their progenitors must have
been driven, so to speak, south of the edge of the terminal moraine,
INTRODUCTION 21
there mingling with the then native flora, which in the case of the
pine-barrens was isolated upon the Beacon Hill formation.
32. If, as seems probable, no very great refrigeration took place
in this area,* it is within the realm of probability that the pine-
barren vegetation existing then on the Beacon Hill formation
was not very seriously disturbed climatically. We have geological
evidence that this area was never subjected to any deposition
of glacial material or over-wash; it contains no glacial terraces,
for its elevation, perhaps greater then than now, precluded this.
But the region surrounding Beacon Hill was in no such fortunate
position. Having only recently emerged, comparatively, and-
boasting only a meager altitude it was more or less overrun with
the material from the ice. The glacial terraces of the lower
Delaware, the nature of the material deposited near Cape May and
in Cumberland County all point to a local, or widespread subsi-
dence of the region, which, however, did not affect the Beacon Hill
formation as far as possible glacial influence is concerned. Fur-
thermore, there is evidence in the sunken forests at Cape May
mentioned above, and in the character of the present vegetation,
of the effects of the encroachment of glacial material from the
north, by way of the Delaware Valley.
33. In the region of these glacial terraces of the lower Delaware
Valley and near Cape May, a few northern plants have been
collected that seem to argue their glacial or at any rate northern,
origin. Among the following list it is doubtful if any of the species
are truly wild in the pine-barrens, but they have all been detected
by Dr. Stone at Cape May.

* This is a conclusion warranted by our knowledge of modern glaciers. While the
refrigeration must be very great near the source of glaciers, it is a well-known fact that
at the edges, refrigeration diminishes greatly, particularly where the ice is thin, as it was
in all probability near the moraine in New Jersey. It is a common characteristic of
glaciers that plants are found almost up to the edge of the ice and sometimes on it. See

34. The distribution of T’suga canadensis in lower New Jersey is,
it seems to me, directly attributable to the glacial terraces found
along the small depression areas in the lower Delaware River
where the tree is now found. It is known only at one other station
elsewhere on the coastal plain, in Maryland, but is, of course,
common northward. There are a few more plants with a some-
what similar distribution in southern New Jersey, notably Cercis
canadensis, which ranges southward, east of the Alleghanies, from
these New Jersey and Pennsylvania stations.
35. Of the peculiar flora of the eastern side of the pine-barrens,
called by Stone the ‘‘coastal strip,” it is difficult to do more than
give the list of species found there. None of these are known
in the pine-barrens, some are found in the region of glacial terraces
in the western part of the Cretaceous region, and others further
north. That the coastal strip was ever affected by glacial material
in any way seems very doubtful, as the drainage from the front
INTRODUCTION 23
of the ice-sheet seems to have been via the Delaware. It is
significant that so many northern plants have been found on this
strip, and it seems very probable that all those ‘‘West Jersey”’
species found along the coast are migrants around the Beacon
Hill formation since the final rising of the coastal plain as described
in paragraphs 20 and 21. The list of these apparently extra-
territorial species as detected by Dr. Stone follows:
Ophioglossum vulgatum, Fragaria virginiana,

Potamogeton pectinatus, Rosa virginiana,

So much for the probable effects of the glacier on the coastal
plain excluding the pine-barrens.
36. If the ice did not affect the pine-barrens geologically, so
much as it did the surrounding country, there seems little doubt
that it was at this time that many additions were made to the
flora of that region. All of the following species, ranging as they
do from the north to the pine-barrens of New Jersey show un-
mistakable evidences of having come down with the glacier.
Many of them became isolated in bogs and other edaphically
favorable places, such as were probably only to be found on or
24 INTRODUCTION
near Beacon Hill at that time. Some have since spread from the
true pine-barrens, but, as shown in paragraph 29, this was to be
expected. The list of these northern species follows:
Scheuchzerta palustris, Mitella diphylla,
Panicularia obtusa, Nemopanthus mucronata,
Carex exilis, Zizia aurea,
Malaxis unifolia, Gentiana crinita,
Anemone canadensis, Aster nemoralis.
37. There are doubtless other species and the same phenomenon
has been noted by entomologists. Professor Smith writes of
Trechus chalybeus, and a few other insects, ‘‘that the only trace of
real boreal species has been found in the deep cold swamps (bogs)
of Ocean County.”
38. In this connection the distribution of the most remarkable
plant of the pine-barrens, Schizaea pusilla, is very interesting. It
is found only in the pine-barrens and in Nova Scotia and New-
foundland, and is unknown between these points. If Dr. Scharff’s
recently proposed theory* that perhaps parts of Nova Scotia
and Newfoundland remained unglaciated through all the period
of the Pleistocene is correct, then it is not impossible that Schizaea
is a relict in the pine-barrens of its southern migration, and that
it is also a relict in the north, all the intervening territory having
been preempted first by the ice, secondarily by more “‘aggressive”’
plants after the recession of the ice. This is little more than
interesting speculation, but Scharff, whether wrong or right in his
contention, has opened up a wide field of discussion. It is cer-
tainly significant that Schizaea is not found in the unquestionably
glaciated country, and is found only in the pine-barrens and in the
[probably] unglaciated northeast. An almost similar distribution
is that of Aster nemoralis, which is lacking in the intervening
territory between its northern outposts in northern New York
and Newfoundland and its southerly stations in New Jersey. All
of these evidences—the geological history of the country, the isloa-

tion of Beacon Hill and the consequent isolation of the ancient
pine-barren flora upon it, the post-glacial migration of some of
the pine-barren species, and finally the present distribution of the
pine-barrens—coinciding as it does so closely with the Beacon Hill
formation—seem incontestably to point to a geological explana-
tion of the origin and present distribution of the pine-barrens.
Such a conception of the origin of this phytogeographical region
entails a readjustment of our ideas as to the relative age of the
flora and of some related phenomena; for, if this theory is correct,
then the pine-barrens can no more be considered as a new or
pioneer vegetation, but rather as an old and climax condition,
ancestrally infinitely more ancient than anything in the surround-
ing area.
39. Another feature of the flora of the coastal plain that seems
to owe its existence to the action of the glacier is the finding on
Long Island of Pyrola chlorantha, Caltha flabellifolia, Linnaea
americana and Campanula rotundifolia. Whether there existed
on Long Island, at the time of the glacier’s extreme southern
movement, any vegetation or not, is a matter that will be con-
sidered presently. But it is significant that these northern plants
should have been found on the island. They are, or were, all rare
on Long Island, but not so northward.
40. The extra-territorial distribution of some of the typical
pine-barren plants throws some additional light on the theory that
the pine-barrens are a phytogeographically isolated and ancient
region. Particularly the finding of Xerophyllum, Helonias, and
Oceanorus, to mention only a few, on the mountains of eastern
Tennessee, is of interest. These and many more were found by
Kearney* and more recently by Small, in geologically the most
ancient area in America (Archaean). The hiatus in the distribu-
tion of these plants between the pine-barrens and these very old
mountains is easily explainable by the isolation theory above
advocated. The fact that they are wanting or very rare in the
intervening territory would seem to present strong evidence of
the unavailableness of this intermediary area (most of it was under
water), during the geological changes described above, for the
perpetuation of the species now so far isolated. Furthermore, this

INTRODUCTION
southern isolation strongly favors the statement made above that
most of the pine-barren flora was of southern extraction, for it is
quite reasonable that the species found on the Tennessee moun-
tains and in the pine-barrens of New Jersey are simply relicts of
an ancient American southern flora that must, at one time, have
covered a vastly greater area than it does today. The present
nearly complete isolation and the post-glacial distribution of this
southern flora, both it seems to me, favor this view.
41. There remains still to be considered the “ pine-barren”
plants of Long Island and Staten Island, not to mention regions
further east. As Stone has shown, a good many of these alleged
““pine-barren”’ plants are only coastal plain plants,* which are
found, it is true, in the pine-barrens; but more commonly in the
area surrounding them, frequently throughout the Atlantic sea-
board from Massachusetts to Florida. It should be remembered
in this connection that neither Long Island nor Staten Island are
in the same geological category as Beacon Hill. For both the
former were in part covered by the glacier and both were more or
less within the influence of glacial activity.t It is, of course, a
matter of pure speculation whether any vegetation persisted on
Long Island during the Pleistocene or not, but the evidence, except
for a few minor exceptions, seems to point to a negative probability.
The admittedly fanciful picture drawn by Dr. Nichols of a sup-
posed post-glacial tundra vegetation on Long Islandt has practically
nothing to support it. While it is true the three plants mentioned
in paragraph 39 suggest a glacial origin, they may well have
followed a regular migration path via Staten Island. The fact
that Linnaea, Pyrola chlorantha, Caltha flabellifohia and Campanula
rotundifolia are not now found on Staten Island means nothing,
as they might readily have traversed the island long ago, and
have been destroyed by conditions that are now unfavorable.
42. If, as seems probable, Long Island was without vegetative
covering just after the final recession of the ice, then all of the
New Jersey flora now found on Long Island must have had a post-
glacial origin. The distribution of Pinus echinata, and the red

squirrel may throw some light on the post-glacial chronology of
events on Long Island. This pine is found in the region surround-
ing the pine-barrens, but is unknown, or very rare in them. Pinus
rigida, the predominant tree of the barrens, is common on Long
Island, but Pinus echinata mentioned above and the red squirrel
are not known on the island.* From the geological outline given
above it is very probable that P. echinata must have occupied the
region surrounding the pine-barrens long after the last effects of
the ice were past. This may also have been true of the red
squirrel. At any rate, after a large post-glacial migration of
alleged ‘‘pine-barren”’ plants, the avenue of migration must have
been broken. The discontinuance of this passageway must, it
seems to me, in all probability have been the controlling factor
in the failure of Pinus echinata and the red squirrel to reach
Long Island. It is curious in this connection that the pine, but
not the animal, are found on Staten Island. There are, of course,
many more species than this pine, which apparently reach their
northern distribution point in the region surrounding Beacon Hill,
or in Staten Island, never having been reported from Long Island.
It seems probable that they came northward in post-glacial times,
too late to avail themselves of the already destroyed avenue of
migration. The following list gives some idea of the variety of
plants that are found on Staten Island but are not definitely known
on Long Island. That all these cases are attributable to the
agency sketched above, may be doubtful, but at any rate the list
is suggestive of what variation there is in the flora of the two islands.

The much smaller size of Staten Island, and its consequently
limited diversity of habitat, undoubtedly accounts for the failure
of most of the plants in the above list to be found on the island.
More knowledge on this point is, however, necessary, before we
can assume mere chance or accident to have played such a large
part in this curious relationship between the flora of Long Island
and Staten Island.
47. There are still some features of the coastal plain vegetation
that demand attention. One of these, the Hempstead Plains,
near the western end of Long Island, forms an’ almost unique
30 INTRODUCTION
region in the eastern states. There has been some difference of
opinion as to whether this treeless area should be called a prairie
or not, but at any rate the natural condition of the tract seems to
be without shrubs or trees, except along the few water courses, both
glacial and modern, that are found there. It has been suggested
that the peculiar soil conditions are to be accounted for by an
ice-jam, just to the north of the area in glacial times, which at the
recession of the ice debouched a great amount of sand and gravel
over what is now the Hempstead Plains. There seems to be some
evidence of a congestion of morainic material towards the north,
through which, owing to the great pressure of water and ice to the
northward, a glacial stream, loaded with sand and gravel, is as-
sumed to have forced its way. That such an assumption may be
gratuitous in no way disposes of the very remarkable soil condition
now found on this area, supporting as it does a flora that is char-
acteristic. As in the case of the limestone regions in the north,
it is doubtful if there are any endemic plants on the plains. But
that there are many plants on this treeless area that are rare or
perhaps wanting on other parts of our coastal plain is the fact.
Some of these include the following, which are more common on
or near the plains than in the surrounding region:
Panicum lucidum, Cathartolinum medium,
Panicum aculeatum, Kneiffia riparia (2),
Fimbristylis puberula, Dasystephana Saponaria,

There are many others and future exploration of this very interest-
ing region will doubtless bring to light more information in regard
to the origin of this peculiarly local prairie-condition.f
49. A peculiar condition has been noted in Connecticut by
Dr. Nichols,{ in regard to some coastal plain species. He has
recorded among others the occurrence of the following in or near
coastal Connecticut that are unknown on Long Island. They
are all coastal plain species found southward, but not recorded
from Long Island: Meibomia sessilifolia, Myriophyllum pinnatum,

and Schwalbea americana. There are perhaps others and it has
been suggested that these coastal plain species together with many
more that are also found on Long Island, have reached Con-
necticut via a land bridge that is supposed to have stretched from
Long Island to the Connecticut mainland in post-glacial times.*
That such an assumption is necessary seems doubtful. It is
easily understood how such coastal species found in Connecticut
and not on Long Island might have followed along the north side
of the Sound.
50. One other extra-territorial occurrence of coastal plain species
should also be noted. Dr. N. L. Britton was the first to show that
there existed in northern New Jersey and adjacent New York a
small group of plants that are usually considered only coastal
plain or pine-barren species.} This paper has been widely quoted
as illustrating the distributional instability of some pine-barren
species, but careful reading of Dr. Britton’s paper shows that all
the plants mentioned there, with one exception, are not pine-
barren plants, strictly speaking, at all. They are all merely
plants of the sandy coastal plain, Corema Conradii, a true pine-
barren plant, being the one exception. The distribution of this
species and of the many others now found isolated outside of the
pine-barrens or the coastal plain is to be sought in the post-glacial
history of the region to the north. In the general vegetative
scramble, so to speak, to cover the country uncovered by the
retreating ice, it seems natural that those plants whose ancestral
home had been in sand, should ‘‘choose”’ sand as a stopping place.
It would, in reality, be strange if they had done anything else,
and it is significant that all the plants mentioned by Britton are
sand plants. A list of those species that are found on the coastal
plain and in locally sandy areas in the Kittatinny mountains in
northwestern New Jersey and adjacent New York follows:
Pinus rigida,t Polygonella articulata,
Scleria pauciflora, Cracca virginiana,

32 INTRODUCT ON
Of course some of these are found in the intervening territory
between the sandy stretches of northern New Jersey and adjacent
New York and the coastal plain. But they are relatively scarce
in this intermediate country.
51. That the distribution of all of the species mentioned in the
preceding paragraphs has been controlled entirely by edaphic or
historical factors is very doubtful. So many other minor con-
siderations, such as methods of seed dispersal, longevity of seeds,
the relative percentage of annuals, biennials, perennials, shrubs
and trees, and so forth, may have been contributory factors that
it would be dogmatic to assign the distribution trends of any one
of them wholly to edaphic factors. But it seems as if these earth
and water factors have been, on the whole, most active in deciding
the general composition and complexion of the vegetation in our
area. There are a few species that appear to be endemic in the
range, but as to the factors contributing to this endemism nothing
is known. ‘The following are the species endemic in the area:
Amphicarpon Amphicarpon, Hypericum Bissellit,
Calamovilfa brevipilis, Ludwigiantha brevipes,
Savastana Nashii, Kneiffia Allenti,
Sporobolus Torreyanus, Pyrola oxypetala,
Juncus caesariensis, Vaccinium caesariense,
Uvularia nitida, Dendrium buxifolium,
Salix squamata, Stachys atlantica,
Dentaria incistfolia, Eupatorium resinosum,
Dentaria anomala, Euthamia floribunda,
Prunus Gravesit, Helianthus Dalyt.
Hibiscus oculiroseus, Senecio Crawfordit.
It is of interest to note that of these 22 endemic species, 7 are
peculiar to the pine-barrens, 9 to the glaciated region and 6 to
the coastal plain, but the latter are not pine-barren species.
However, the frequency of occurrence of these endemic species is
greater with the pine-barren and coastal plain species than with
those of the glaciated region, many of which have been collected
only once or twice. Asa criterion of endemism in our area the list
is open to the objection, of course, that some plants here recorded
as species would not be accepted as such by all writers. But as
INTRODUCTION 33
illustrating a tendency towards the production of new forms the
list is open to no such objection.
II. Crurmmatic Factors
52. In considering the effect of climate on the distribution of our
flora we have to remember the salient fact, that, while it has not
been so much of an ancient factor in deciding the general composi-
tion of the area as edaphic influences have been, it is very much
of a controlling agency at the present day. Even in such a
limited area as this there appear to be well marked climatic
barriers, through which certain species are scarcely ever known to
- go.
53. To dispose at once of rainfall and the winds, which, in a
temperate climate such as ours, are almost negligible, it is only
necessary to record that the amount and distribution of the rain-
fall is such that, in any one part of our area, as against any other
part, the differences are so slight, so much above minimum
requirements, and so far below a maximum of the rain-forest
conditions of the tropics, that it can be ignored; and that we
have nothing in any way suggesting an aeolian influence affecting
the distribution of our plants, with the possible exception of the
purely local sand-drifting along the coast dunes. The highly sug-
gestive results obtained by some observers, on the distribution
of our native flora as affected by the varying degree of evaporation
of available water, are not yet sufficiently comprehensive to be
used in the present work.
54. The chief climatic factor then is temperature, and in at-
tempting to arrive at some conclusion as to its effect on the dis-
tribution of the plants growing within the area many interesting
problems have arisen. The most obvious method of taking the
annual mean temperature as a basis of calculation comes to nothing
as the differences in this are too slight to account for the very
different vegetation in the Catskills where the mean temperature
is 45°, and at Cape May, N. J., where the mean temperature is
only 53°. The comparative similarity in the temperatures of the
two places mentioned does not begin to express the great dis-
similarity in the vegetation, nor does this similarity of mean tem-
perature imply anything like a sufficiently operative climatic
barrier, to maintain the status quo of the vegetation, so to speak.
4
34 INTRODUCTION
55. Following the method used by some investigators of similar
problems, who have held that the average maximum temperatures
were the controlling factors, these were taken. But here again
the comparative equality could offer no satisfactory solution, as
in both places the maximum is about 90°. Then, too, the
maximum temperatures in a region such as ours are so much
below the physiological optimum, that it is difficult to conceive
of their being operative on a sufficiently large scale to affect the
distribution of the flora.
56. Reversing the process, and taking the average minimum
temperatures, a procedure followed by still others, netted more
suggestive results. The differences here are considerable, as the
average minimum at Windham in the Catskills is — 12°, while at
Cape May in southern New Jersey it is 8°, a discrepancy of about
20°. This, however, is vitiated by the protective nature of the
snow blanket which covers the colder region for the greater part
of the winter; an advantage lacking in lower New Jersey, where,
however, the increased temperatures during winter about equalize
matters. Then, too, it has been shown that seeds can stand
artificial temperatures enormously lower than are ever found in
nature, so that plants which rely on their seeds for perpetuation
must be indifferent to any natural minima. Against this average
minimum temperature as a delimiting factor in the distribution of
our local plants, also, is the protective dormancy of all the woody
plants in the region, during the cold weather.
57. Merriam’s “‘life zones,’’ an attempt to plot out the more
prominent belts of animal and vegetable life in North America
upon the basis of temperature, was found to come more nearly to
the known facts of the distribution of our local plants, than any
of the above hypotheses. But while its general principles were
found to hold good, the difficulty of using a scheme of continental
scope upon a limited area was such that accuracy seemed unlikely.
58. Many investigators have thought that some method of
reckoning the accumulated temperatures of a part of a season, or
of all of it, would throw light on the problem, but the dangers
here are many. Such a scheme, particularly when there is a large
percentage of woody plants in the flora under consideration, leaves
out of the calculation the stored up effect of heat units, generated
during the previous season, when the very important operation
INTRODUCTION 35
of the ‘“‘setting’’ of the buds is originated. The writer regrets
that he has not had the necessary time to apply, for at least a
part of our flora, the very interesting results of Raunkiaer’s
“Growth Forms”’ to the present book. The recent appearance of
this work and the great labor necessary for its application to our
area, precluded what, it is hoped, may be the most effective study
of the relationship between a flora and the climatic factors that
has yet appeared.* It may form the basis of a future study.
59. During 1905 Dr. Cleveland Abbe brought out his work on
the effect of climate on crops,} in which he treated the temperature
factor from a somewhat different viewpoint. He satisfied himself
that maximum and minimum temperatures, and that any method
of reckoning accumulative temperatures were not the vital factors
in this problem. His method, in short, was to take account not
of the severity of the frosts but of the length of the growing season.
60. Experimental proof of the very close relation between the
length of the growing season and crops is not lacking. The
government, by moving northward certain strains of wheat to
regions with a progressively diminishing growing season, has been
able to get crops in regions, that, if the move had been made in one
season, would have been impossible. The method of determining
this length of the growing season is to add the number of days
between the last killing frost in the spring and the first killing
frost of autumn.
61. The application of this idea to our local flora range has
brought out some interesting points. Examination of the map
(pl. 5) shows that the length of the growing season in the Catskills
and mountains of Pennsylvania is 117-123 days, at Cape May it
is 220 days. Here is a difference of over three months in the grow-
ing season. All the figures have been determined by averaging
the number of days between the killing frosts, for every station in
the range, where records have been kept for ten years or more.

36 INTRODUCTION
this line has a growing season of 153 days or less, everything south
of it a growing season of 164 days, or more, usually much more.
This arbitrarily drawn line seems to separate, roughly speaking,
the northern plants from those more generally distributed. Of
course there are many exceptions, but, so far as our area is con-
cerned, it marks the southern limit of present distribution for
many of our plants. The list of plants in paragraph 8, that are
marked with an asterisk, are all plants that are found to the north
of this line. They are all plants of the higher elevations of our
range which, as it happens, are correlated with the shorter growing
season. ‘There are, however, no true alpine conditions to be found
in this area.
63. In making use of this factor of the length of the growing
season in the body of the work, the writer has added to the treat-
ment of the distribution of each species on the different geological
formations, two figures, thus: 117-220 days. ‘This indicates that
the species under discussion has been found, in our area, in regions
with these extremes of growing season. It actually means that
this particular species has been found from the Catskills to Cape
May. In many species, one of these figures will be in bold faced
type which, throughout the book, indicates that the species is more
common in the region where the growing season approximates the
bold-faced figure than elsewhere. The map (pl. 5) will have to
be consulted, until one becomes familiar with these figures, in
order to properly interpret this data.
SUMMARY
64. The relationship of the edaphic and climatic factors treated
in the preceding paragraphs is an exceedingly complex one. To
what proportion of either of these sets of factors, or to their
combination, is to be attributed the distribution of any particular
species, it is practically impossible to say. All that can be at-
tempted is to set down the facts so far as we now know them. It
is quite obvious that in a book such as this, the introduction to
which is mostly, and the body of the work wholly, devoted to
floristic plant-geography, the minute study of smaller categories
of vegetation, such as associations and the like, must be omitted.
The study of a flora from the standpoint of its fitness for its
environment, and the intimately related study of the environment

as fitted to the existing flora, must help our understanding of the
problems of agriculture and horticulture. For cultivated, as well
as wild plants, respond to their environment, and any study of
such response and the conditions that cause it, will help to solve
the many, unsolved problems of cultivation. The relation of local
floras to crop possibilities lies outside the scope of this book, but
that there is such a relation and that our local flora can be useds
to some extent, as a crop indicator, seems quite certain.
LIST OF LOCAL FLORAS OF THE TORREY CLUB RANGE

EXPLANATORY NOPE
Bold face type, used as a designation for a region or part of one,
indicates greater frequency of occurrence than in regions not so
designated. The terms Tertiary, Cretaceous and so forth do not
apply to fossil species, only to the distribution of the present flora
on the different geological formations as exposed in the area.
