PREFACE.
The following list has been compiled at the request of the Metropolitan Park Commission in order to put on record the present condition of the vegetation of the new public reservations as a basis for comparison in the future. The acreage of Blue Hills Reservation is about 4,000 acres, Middlesex Fells Reservation 3,000 acres, Stony Brook Reservation 450 acres, Beaver Brook Reservation 58 acres. The diversified character of the lands embraced — in the reservations gives rise to a most interesting flora. The height of Great Blue Hill is 635 feet, and throughout the reservations hills alternate with valleys and swamps, and clearings with woods, while ponds and brooks afford a rich aquatic vegetation. Pogonia verticillata, Nutt., Habenaria fimbriata, R. Br., Epigza repens, L. and Kal- mia latifolia, L. in the Blue Hills, and Conopholis Americana, Wallroth, in the Fells, are of the greatest interest, while in Monatiquot Stream which skirts the southern base of the Blue Hills are found the rare Lemna Valdiviana, Philippi, and the polymorphous Sum Car- sonzz, Durand. The public should be exhorted, if they come across such plants as these, to preserve them rigidly. The true botanist and lover of nature needs no such exhortation.
Direct botanical work in the reservations has been systematically prosecuted during the past two years only, and the record of plants is necessarily far from complete. This is especially true of Stony Brook and Beaver Brook Reservations. It has, nevertheless, been deemed best to
Vi. PREFACE.
publish the list at this time, in order that it may be used as a basis on which to build an exhaustive edition.
To enable me to compile the present list, the collections of the past two years, forming the nucleus of a Reserva- tions Herbarium, have been placed in my hands, together with a large card catalogue of valuable notes by botanists who have studied the flora about Boston for years. Mr. M. L. Fernald kindly took charge of naming the Com- posite, and Dr. C. W. Swan the Junci, Cyperaceze and Graminee. Dr. Swan has been much aided by Prof. F. Lamson-Scribner in the grasses, and Prof. L. H. Bailey in the genus Carex. I hold myself responsible for the rest of the Phanerogams, as I have examined them all with the exception of a few which were submitted to Dr. B. L. Robinson and Mr. M. L. Fernald. In the naming of these plants I have been assisted especially by the co-operation of Dr. G. G. Kennedy, Judge J. R. Church- ill, Mr. L. L. Dame and Mr. E. F. Williams. Mr. George E. Davenport has taken charge of the Pterido- phyta, Mr. E. L. Rand of the Bryophyta, Mr. J. W. Blankinship of the Characee, Mr. F. S. Collins of the Algeze, Miss Clara E. Cummings of the Lichens, and Prof. A. B. Seymour and Mrs. Flora W. Patterson of the Fungi. The list of Thallophytes is a small one, as but little work has as yet been done in this direction. Mr. K. L. Rand and Dr. B. L. Robinson have rendered most efficient assistance in regard to the form of the list, and Miss Mary A. Day, Librarian at the Gray Herbarium, has been most courteous in facilitating the work done in the Library. Mr. Warren H. Manning’s large collections of plants, and his notes on the trees and shrubs have been of great service; and the general field notes of Mr. W. P. Rich, added to his extensive contributions to the
PREFACE. Vii.
herbarium, have been of especial value in regard to the habitat and distribution of the plants, particularly of the Fells. Judge J. R. Churchill, Dr. G. G. Kennedy, Messrs. C. E. Faxon, E. Faxon, L. L. Dame, F. S. Col- lins, E. F. Williams, H. A. Purdie, Dr. J. R. Webster, and Mrs. P. D. Richards have aided by their notes on the flora of the various reservations. To all the above and to those who have assisted by collecting in the reservations, contributing to the herbarium, or in any other way, my hearty thanks are extended.
Owing to the fact that this list is in reality a record of the plants growing in four separate reservations, a plan embracing. clearness and brevity had to be considered. The list rests upon the authority of the Reservations Herbarium, various private herbaria, notably those of Messrs. C. E. and E. Faxon, W. P. Rich, F. 8. Collins, EK. F. Williams, Dr. G. G. Kennedy, Judge J. R. Churchill, the Gray Herbarium and my own, and lastly the reports of a few botanists, already mentioned, who have spent much time in studying the distribution of. the plants of the reservations. I have also used my own field notes made during the past few years.
The names of plants indigenous to the reservations are printed in heavy full-faced type, while the names of plants introduced either into North America, or into the reserva- tions from this country, or cultivated in old gardens, by roadsides and the like, are printed in small capitals. Synonyms are printed in italics.
After each species and its common name, if it has any, follows a statement of the general habitat of the plant as it occurs in New England. This ends with tke period, separate observations being divided by semicolons. Then follow observations on each reservation. The following
Vili. PREFACE.
abbreviations for the reservations are used: JB, for Blue Hills, M, for Middlesex Fells, S, for Stony Brook, BB, for Beaver Brook, and this order is followed, where pos- sible. The other abbreviations needing a word of explan- ation are nat. for naturalized, adv. for adventive, int. for introduced, and cult. for cultivated. The letter indicating the reservation is followed in each case by the remarks on that reservation, separate remarks being divided by semi- colons. The remarks on the different reservations are separated by a colon and dash. Every observation on the phanerogams made in the list is on record with the author’s name and can be referred to in case of need. An asterisk following any letter standing for a reservation indicates that a specimen of the plant under discussion is found in the Reservations Herbarium; otherwise, the authority rests on private herbaria or on reliable reports.
The nomenclature is in general that of Gray’s Manual, Sixth Edition, but in some cases a more recent revision of genera has been followed. In such cases the Manual synonymy, where possible, is given, and reference is made to the work containing the revision. With scarcely an exception the names of plants recorded as growing in old gardens are to be found in the last edition of Gray’s Field, Forest and Garden Botany. It seems best to record these plants, as several old gardens are included in the reservations and it will be interesting to note the persistence or decay of the plants growing in them.
Let it be fully understood that this list is a preliminary one and that much work must be done in order to make it truly representative. The work of collecting and observing ought to be carried on with vigor so that a com- plete flora of the reservations may soon be forthcoming.

(By George E. Davenport.)
The diverse character of the Reservations justifies expecta- tions of finding a liberal representation of the vascular crypto- gams in their flora, and these expectations will no doubt be fully realized when all parts of the Reservations shall have been thoroughly worked over. As the present report is based wholly upon specimens actually collected, or known to exist in reliable herbaria, a necessarily somewhat incomplete report must be expected. An examination of this report will show
108 METROPOLITAN PARK FLORA.
that the Blue Hills and Middlesex Fells Reservations have been more thoroughly worked over than the Stony Brook and Beaver Brook Reservations, although the latter can scarcely be any the less interesting to a botanist studying the Ferns and their Allies.
The arrangement adopted here is that of the late Prof. D.C. Eaton, in the 6th edition of Gray’s Manual, and comments are made in connection with the different species for the purpose of calling attention to certain points that may lead to a more thorough investigation, and result in restoring under proper guidance many species once common, or fairly plentiful, but now nearly or wholly extirpated from various causes now happily within control and future prevention.

-Drvytsion I. MUSCI. MOSSES. (By Edward L. Rand.)
The list of mosses here given is based mainly on the valuable collections of Messrs. Edwin and Charles E. Faxon. As these collections, however, were made mostly in the Blue Hills and Stony Brook Reservations, the moss flora of the other Reserva- tions is most imperfectly represented in the list,— in fact only two species have been reported from the Beaver Brook Reservation.
The list of Sphagnacez is arranged in accordance with the articles of Dr. Carl Warnstorf in Vol. XV of Coulter’s Botan- ical Gazette. Synonyms, however, have been given when pos- sible to facilitate reference to Lesquereux and James’ ** Mosses of North America.” The lists of Andreseaceze and Bryaceze are arranged in accordance with the Manual of Lesquereux and James just mentioned, in the absence of a standard work of ready reference of a more recent date.
