By JOHN H. SCHAFFNER, M. A., M.S. Published by THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY Columbus 1914 6S eS E 7 CONTRIBUTION FROM THE BOTANI- CAL LABORATORY OF THE eEre STATE UNIVERSITY, No. 83. PREFACE This catalog of the vascular plants of Ohio is based on specimens for the most part in the State Herbarium of the Ohio State University, although some records have also been obtained from other collections. The State Herbarium is at present a collection of about 30,000 sheets, and represents the labors of many Ohio botanists. The distribution by | counties is in many cases not the known distribution, but it was thought advisable to give only such data as could be verified by specimens. A list* of 254 species and varieties was published with a view to their ex- clusion from the state catalog if no evidence of their presence in the state were forthcoming. As a result of this publication, numerous records and specimens were obtained. The present catalog contains 2065 numbered species, about one-fourth of which are non-indigenous. Three additional species have been inserted in their proper places since the list was numbered for publication. A considerable number of varie- ties and supposed hybrids are also included. “‘The Fourth State Catalogue of Ohio Plants,’’ by W. A. Keller- man, 1899, was based on specimens in the State Herbarium at that time. However, a large number of species was included for which there was no direct evidence. Most of these, together with some species wrongly identified, have been omitted. A large list of contributors of specimens from various parts of the state was published in the ‘‘Fourth Cata- logue.’’ Many of these have greatly increased their collections in the State Herbarium and a number of other botanists have sent important specimens. The species in the State Herbarium have been carefully deter- mined, in the more difficult groups by the best experts in the country, and it is believed that there are few mistakes in the list as now pub- lished. Any errors, however, can be definitely corrected in the future. Several species became uncertain through the shifting of names and have been omitted until more and better material can be studied. The species are numbered serially, and the varieties, forms, and supposed hybrids are indicated by letters. Additions of species will *Plants on the Ohio State list not represented in the State Herbarium. Ohio Nat. 9: 4138-415. @ 127 be made by means of the decimal system. For example, if a new species is to be added after No. 1866, it will be numbered 1866.1. Additions will only be made on the basis of good herbarium specimens. It is much better to have a small, reliable list than a large one with many doubtful entries. The introduced species have been designated by some phrase by which they can be distinguished from the indigenous species. The nomenclature used is that of Britton and Brown’s ‘‘ An Illus- trated Flora of the Northern United States, Canada, and the British Possessions,’’ second edition. The few names which differ because of a different conception of the genus will cause no special trouble in reference. ‘‘Kellerman’s Fourth State Catalogue of Ohio Plants’ was based on the first edition of the ‘‘Illustrated Flora,’’ and thus the names following the ‘‘American Code’’ on the principle of priority have been used very generally in Ohio since that time. The author sees no reason for abandoning the principle of priority at the present stage of progress of botanical knowledge. The arrangement of the species and larger groups follows strictly the phyletic classification. The time has come when taxonomy must readjust itself to the more modern conceptions in regard to morphology and evolution. The map of Ohio by counties will enable one to see, at a glance, the distribution indicated, and whether a given species is considered rare or unusual in any locality. It will now be possible to concentrate attention on the exact distribution of our more interesting plants and in the near future data should be at hand to definitely delimit the natural plant regions of the state. When this can be done, a consider- able advance will have been made in the knowledge of the natural agri- eultural and horticultural regions. of Ohio. A number of useful lists have been published in the past which are still available. Among these may be mentioned the following: Poisonous and Other Injurious Plants of Ohio.

Kellerman and Mrs. Kellerman. 128 To the many botanists and collectors who have aided in the prepa- ration of this catalog during the past five years, the author wishes to express his hearty thanks. It is hoped that all who take an interest in Ohio plants will continue to send collections and rare specimens to the State Herbarium. In this way alone can a truly great collection be accumulated. J.
