BIOLOGY LIBRARY G BULLETIN OF THE STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY PLANTS OF IOWA A PRELIMINARY LIST OF THE NATIVE AND INTRODUCED PLANTS OF THE STATE, NOT UNDER CULTIVATION COMPILED BY WESLEY GREENE, SECRETARY BULLETIN OF THE STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY PLANTS OF IOWA A PRELIMINARY LIST OF THE NATIVE AND INTRODUCED PLANTS OF THE STATE, NOT UNDER CULTIVATION COMPILED BY WESLEY GREENE SECRETARY DES MOINES BISHARD BROTHERS, PRINTERS 1907 3IOLOGY LIBRARY G PREFACE. This bulletin is dedicated to the young people of Iowa. Every boy and girl who has commenced the study of botany should have a copy of it. The bulletin will not take the place of the regular text-book on botany, but as soon as the student has become fa- miliar enough with plants to analyze them, it will serve as a check-list to those found growing in this state. This preliminary list of more than three thousand species in- cludes only the native plants and those that have been introduced from other sections of this country, or other continents, and have escaped from cultivation, and become naturalized and are now a part of the flora of the state. When the list is completed it will contain more than five thousand species. The cultivated plants will receive attention in a later issue. The limits of this bulletin would not permit extended notes •on species, or synonyms; but the habitat of the plant; the fre- quency of its occurrence, and common name, when known, are given ; but, unfortunately, many of the Thallophytes are known only by the professional botanist and have no common names. The study of plant life is world-wide, and botanists of dif- ferent languages have accepted a common standard, which is still in use. We hope the day is not far distant when the De- partment of Agriculture at Washington will take up the matter through its experiment station botanists, in cooperation with the colleges and universities of the country, and give the American people an English translation of the accepted Latin classifica- tion, then the study of plants in the common schools will be as simple as any daily routine in school work. However, until that time arrives, we must accept the situation as it is, and fa- miliarize our tongues with these Latin names as best we can, until a better system is evolved for the use of the millions who will speak of plants only in their mother-tongue. I have changed the order of arrangement of classes in the % 274400 1 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY Thallophytes from that followed by the systematic botanist, who usually begins with the Algag and then places the degraded forms called Fungi, after the orders to which they are allied. I have given more prominence to their functional differences than to their structural arrangement, and have placed these parasitic and saprophytic plants first, because they do not contain chloro- phyll and are unable to convert dioxide of carbon into starch under the action of sunlight, which substance enters so largely into the composition of the cell structures in higher plants, but must secure this organized matter for growth and development from living or dead plants and animals. This order of arrange- ment does not take into account any theory of evolution or degra- dation, but is for the convenience of the student who studies plants only from an economic standpoint, to have those of a sim- ilar habit grouped near each other. We have placed the slime moulds first, though they are not the least in size, but are cer- tainly low in the scale of organized matter. Botanists have often been in doubt whether they belong to the animal or vegetable kingdom. Next in order are the bacteria ; among these are some of the smallest vegetable organism, but with a good microscope we can find them in almost every substance. They live in animals and plants, often causing troublesome diseases, which sometimes prove fatal to the animal or plant attacked. They are in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat; they live in us, on us, and about us everywhere. The smuts, rusts and mushrooms are larger and more easily seen. Many of these are, however, quite destructive to our crops and are of special interest to the farmer. What are called Imperfect Fungi are not de- fective in themselves, but are healthy, active organisms, as every gardener knows, from the attacks they make on his plants. Leaf spot on roses, beets and beans, scab on apples, rot in tomatoes, and mildews, are common in the orchard and garden. Their life histories have not been as thoroughly studied as some of the other classes. After the Fungi come the Algag. Some of the smaller species of this group can swim as gracefully as a fish. People who have always considered a plant to be something with roots, stem and leaves, that grows out of the ground, will be surprised when they see the gyrations of some of these minute organisms. We have placed the lichens at the end of the group for they PLANTS OF IOWA 5 seem to be a happy blending of Algae and Fungi into a mutual copartnership, each working for the benefit of the other. I have followed Prof. T. H. Macbride in the arrangement of the Slime Moulds; Prof. F. D. Chester in Bacteria; Ellis and Everhart in Pyrenomycetes ; and Britton's Manual in the Pteridophytes and Spermaphytes. We obtained much of the material for the bulletin from "Contributions to the Flora of Iowa," by Dr. J. C. Arthur, published in 1876; "Bulletin of the Agricultural College," by Dr. C. E. Bussey, 1884; "Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Sciences ; " " Proceedings of the Daven- port Academy of Natural Sciences;" "Bulletins of the Labora- tories of Natural History of the State University ; " " Reports of the Iowa Geological Survey, ' ' and its ' ' Bulletin on Grasses, ' ' and from the "Journal of Micology. " I wish to express my gratitude to the botanists of the state for their pains-taking and unselfish labor in publishing the names of plants they have found growing in the state, and my obligation to them for material used in compiling this bulletin: To Prof. T. H. Macbride for the list of Slime Moulds and Mush- rooms ; to Harriet Vandivert, Alice W. Hess and Nora Allen for lists of Basidiomycetes ; to F. J. Seavers for list of Dis- comycetes; to Prof. B. Shimek for Liverworts; to Prof. T. B. Savage for Mosses; to Prof. B. Fink and R. E. Buchanan for Algae ; to H. S. Hitchcock for Peronosporeaa ; to Dr. Henry Albert and R. E. Buchanan for Bacteria; to Prof. Bruce Fink and Kate Miller for Lichens, and to Prof. L. H. Pammel for list of Grasses and Fungi. For County Floras that have been used, I wish to express my thanks to C. R. Ball, E. M. Olsen, M. P. Somes, M. E. Peck, H. A. Mueller, R. J. Cratty, T. J. Fitzpatrick, M. J. Fitz- patrick, W. D. Barnes, Fred Rupert, A. A. Miller, J. E. Gow, J. P. Anderson, C. M. King, and many others whose work has been examined and checked in preparing this bulletin. Many changes have been made in classification of species in recent years. I have not always taken kindly to some of these changes. The names learned from Gray's and Wood's Manuals more than thirty years ago still have a warm place in our memory. We will probably continue to say Ampelopsis instead of Parthenocissus, in speaking of the Virginia creeper, and 6 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY Nymphcea sounds better to my ears than Castalia for our sweet- scented White Water Lily. There are many other changes like these in this list, that we do not like to make, but believe it best to do so, rather than fol- low my opinion, as it makes it easier for the student who is using the manual of one author, to get the synonyms, than to follow different authors on the same subject. We have also aban- doned the use of capital letters for species. This I believe is a move in the right direction, for it gives a better form than to use capitals when the name of a person, country or substantive is given to a species. This bulletin has been written in the hope it might prove helpful to the young people who are anxious to learn the names of the plants, many of which they see daily while working on the farm or strolling through the woodlands of the state.
