Nic the numerous useful and interesting objects of
al history discovere on the vast extent of the New
Continent, none claim our attention ín a higher degree -
than the vegetable productions of North America. Her
forests produce an endless variety of: useful and stately
timber trees; her woods and hedges the most ornamen-
tal flowering shrubs, so much admired in our pleasure
grounds; and her fields and meadows a number of ex-
. eeedingly handsome and singular flowers (many of them
i possessing valuable medicinal virtues), different ` from
those of othe countries, All these are more or less capa-
ble of being adapted to an European climate, and the
greater part of easy cultivation and quick growth;
which circumstances have given them, with much pro-
priety, the first rank in ornamental gardening.
À country so highly abundant in all the objects of my
favourite pursuits, excited in me, at an early period of
- life, a strong desire to visit it, and to observe in their
natural soil and climate the plants which I then knew ;
and to make such discoveries as circumstances might
throw in my way. This plan I carried into execution
in the year 1799; when I left Dresden, the place where.
J had received my education, and embarked for Balti-

more in Maryland, with a determination not to retur
to Europe until I should have examined that country to
- the utmost extent of my means and abilities. In 1811,
after an absence of nearly twelve years, I returned to
Europe, with an ample stock of materials towards a
Fron4 or Norra AMERICA, an attempt at which I
now venture to lay before the publie, with the flattering
hope, that a generous allowance will be made for its un-
avoidable imperfections, when the extent of the under-
taking is considered ; and. that it will be accepted asit
really is intended, as only the groundwork of some future

advanced in age and deprived of his eye-sight, con-

then new to me, which strongly proved his attachment
and application to the science in former years, when his
vigour of mind and eye-sight were in full power. This

and from him I received considerable information
about the plants of that country, particularly respect-

trees. It is with the liveliest emotions of pleasure I
call to mind the happy hours I spent in this worthy
man’s company, during the period I jen in his neigh-

Not far from the latter place are also the extensive _

parts of the world, but particularly so in rare and new
American species. Philadelphia being a central situa-)
tion, and extremely well calculated for the cultivation of-
plants from all the other parts of North America, I
found. this collection particularly valuable for furnishing
me with a general knowledge of the plants of that coun-
try, preparatory to more extensive travels into the inte-
rior, for the discovery of new and unknown subjects.

| -Soon after my return from the hind] jour-
ney, I had the pleasure to form an acquaintance with
Meriwether Lewis, Esq., then Governor of Upper Loui=
siana, who had lately returned from an expedition across
the Continent of America to the Pacific Ocean, by the
way of the Missouri and the great Columbia rivers, ex-
ecuted under the direction of the Government of the

when [ eonsider that the small collection communicated
.. to me, consisting of about one hundred and fifty speci-
mens, contained not above a dozen plants well known to
me to be natives of North America, the rest being either
entirely new or but little known, and among them at
least six distinct and new genera. This may give an -
idea of the discerning eye of their collector, who had
but little practical knowledge of the Flora of North

calls “ the Osage Apple," or ** Arrowwood of the Mis-
souris," This is a tree, or wes shrub, with leaves re-
sembling those of a pear-tree, but broader in propor-
tion ; they are alternate, and have a recurved thorn near
their base; the flowers are of separate sexes, and appear
axillary, peduncled, globular catkins, which produce

and handsome foliage, must be highly ornamental : the
wood, being excessively hard, is preferred by the natives
to any other for making their arrows ; and as it does not
spontaneously grow in their neighbourhood, they travel
annually to a considerable distance South-west, to pro-
eure it. About the village of the Osage Indians a few _
trees have been planted, from which one has been in-
troduced into one of the gardens at St. Louis on the
Mississippi. Perfect seeds from the last-mentioned tree
were given by Mr. Lewis to Mr. M*Mahon, nursery and
seedsman, at Philadelphia, who raised several fine plants
from them, and in whose possession. they were when I
left America. The other plant alluded to is called by
Mr. Lewis “ A bulbous Rush, which serves the Indians
for bread.” Of this: I have only seen the root, whieh is
of a yellowish-brown colour, about the thickness of a fin- ,
ger, and jointed ; on each joint, which are about three
inches asunder, several tubers of about an inch and a
half long are produced, of an oblong ovate shape, ta-
pering into a point towards the end; these tubers are
filled with an exquisite white and fine farina, resembling
starch ; these roots are used in the same manner as those
of Dinala esculenta, vid. vol. ii. p.475. I. take this
to be a larger species of tuberous Cyperus. | 3
While I was thus engaged in describing id. i figuring
those new acquisitions to the American Flora, another
opportunity offered to augment my resources, Mr.
Aloysius Enslen, who had been sent to America by
Prince Lichtenstein of Austria, as a collector of new
and i interesting subjects of natural history, returned to
Philadelphia from his extensive travels through the
Western Territories and Southern States... This gentle-

mat, with whom I had previously beeri on terms of in-
‘timate friendship, was now in possession of an extreme-
ly valuable collection of living and dried plants, to which
I had unrestrained access. To his liberality I am in-
debted for many new and scarce specimens, which filled
üp a desideratum in my collection, particularly in the -
plants of Lower Louisiana and Georgia. Those species
exclusively received from his collection I have distin-
guished by ** v. s. in Herb. Enslen.”
At the same time I had frequent opportunities of
seeing the herbarium and collection of living plants of
Mr. John Lyon, a gentleman through whose indu
and skill more new atid rare American plants have lately
been introduced into Europe than through any other
channel whatever. Those plants particularly adopted
from his collection I have marked with “ v. s. in Herb,

unnecessary to mention here, added to my own occa-.

nearly double the tiumber of those described in Mi-

tremely scarce in America, I determined to publish a Com-
pendium of it, executed on the plan of Hoffmann's
— Flora Germanica, which work I had no doubt would be
acceptable to the botanist, and particularly so to the
cultivator. I communicated my design to Messrs. Brad-
ford and Inskeep, booksellers at Philadelphia, who gave
me every encouragement towards the —
xiv PREFACE,
While I was. engaged in arranging my materials for
this publication, I was called upon to take the manage- -
ment of the Botanic Garden at New York, which had
been originally established by the arduous zeal and ex-
ertions of Dr. David Hosack, Professor of Botany, &e,
as his private property, but has lately been bought by
the Government of the State of New York for the publie -
service. As this emplovment opened a further prospect
to me of increasing my knowledge of the plants of that
country, I willingly dropped the idea of my intended pub-
lication for that time, and in 1807 took charge of that
establishment. .
Here I again endeayoured to, pay. ie itmost attention

Dr. D. Hosack I had engaged to publish a periodical
work, with coloured plates, all taken from living plants,
and if possible from native specimens, on a plan similar -
to that of Curtis’s Botanical Magazine; for which a
great number of drawings were actually prepared. But —
at this period I was attacked by a serious and obstinate
intermitting fever, which made a change of air and cli-
mate absolutely necessary to me ; I therefore, in 1810, T
took a voyage to the West Indies, visiting the islands of
Barbadoes, Martinique, Dominique, Guadaloupe, and

St. Bartholomew's, from which I returned in the au-
tumn of 1811 in a perfect state of recovered health.
The vessel in which I returned landed at the town of
Wiscasset in the province of Main, This being a coun-
try I had never visited before, I examined its vegetation
with all possible attention ; and although the season was
too far advanced for making any new discoveries, I
gained considerable information respecting the geogra-
phy of plants, a point I always considered highly in-
teresting to the science. During my journey towards
New York, I had an opportunity of visiting Professor
Peck of Cambridge College near Boston, and seeing his Ț
highly interesting collection of plants, collected on a
tour to the alpine regions of the White Hills of New -
Hampshire. , As the season was too far advanced when
Iwas in that country to suffer me to think of ascending
those mountains, this collection. was highly gratifying
to me.

ation very unfavourable to the publication of scientific

all my materials to England, where I conceived 1

compiled, is in possession of the Messrs, Frasers of
Sloane Square, whose father was the intimate friend of
Mr. Walter. "They very kindly permitted me to make
use of it whenever I had occasion to refer to it.
I am also highly indebted to William Roscoe, Esq.,
who very obligingly communicated to me Mr. Bradbury's
Plants collected in Upper Louisiana, This valuable
collection contains many rare and new species, having
been collected in a tract of country never explored be-
fore: those which were entirely new I have described
in the Supplement to the present work.
Besides these general collections, there were a num-
ber of interesting new plants in the Banksian Herbarium
collected by different persons in North America, Among
them I found a number of those collected by Archibald
Menzies, Esq., during the famous expedition under
Vancouver, on the north-west coast of America. As
several of them had been described by me from the
Lewisian collection, I requested permission of Mr. Men-
zies to adopt such as were immediately connected, with
my plan, which he very obligingly complied with.
The number of American plants in the different nur-
series and private collections in the vicinity of London,
contributed considerably to my resources, and I am
highly indebted to those who gave me their assistance,
particularly to Messrs. Lee and Kennedy, whose exten-
sive collections exceed any other in Europe. .
The accounts I had frequently heard of the celebrated
- Sherardian Herbarium at Oxford, made me particularly
je ae b
xviii PREFACE,
anxious to examine it. Dr. G. Williams, professor of bo-
tany in that University, received me with that kindness
so congenial to the true friend of science, and supported
my researches to the utmost of his power. Besides the
entire Herbarium of Morison, and other valuable collec-
tions, I found a general collection of North American.
plants, among which I was particularly gratified to find
all those sent by Mr. M. Catesby to Dr. Sherard. This
collection, though made a century ago, is in very fine
preservation, and contains specimens of most of the
new species of Walter, Michaux, &c. and even some,
entirely new ones, with the remarks and synonyms of
Dr. Sherard, and frequently aceompanie "wg :
ginal letters of M. Catesby. pinn T
also a number of rare specimens collected by a Mr.
Tilden at Hudson's Bay, and those of John Eartram
and other correspondents of Dr. Sherard. In fine, I
consider this thé most complete collection of North
American plants now extant. The notes and remarks
made here are given in the Appendix and Addenda, as
. 3t was not until the body of the work was printed that I
had the opportunity of seeing this valuable collection. .
Having thus given a general view of the means and
resources I had in composing the present work, I shall
only add a few remarks respecting its execution. —
On a slight inspection of the work, it will be readily
perceived that my chief object has been, throughout, to
comprise as much matter as possible in the smallest
space which attention to perspicuity would allow. _
In respect to nomenclature I have followed Willde-
now's “Species PLANTARUM" and Michaux's Fiona
PREFACE, xix
BoRBALI-AMERICANA” as near as possible, avoiding
carefully to change old established names, however
faulty, unless in cases where good authority furnished a
more appropriate one. As for example, I have adopted
Fraxinus acuminata of Lamarck, instead of Fraxinus
americana, Linn., and Cynoglossum amplexicaule of
Michaux for OPtopldium virginicum, Linn. But F
have never approved of such changes as Juglans alla
and cinerea of Linneus to Juglans squamata and ca-

long established species, and sometimes even without
the least hint respecting their names in other authors,
"The specific characters in most instances have been mo-
¿lled anew or altered asit was found necessary. Where-
ever any alteration had been made it was necessary to
quote the author from which the species had been taken
: ate line, as page 16 Monarda didyma ; after
the specifie description I had to repeat that it was the
same with M. didyma; ‘Willd. sp. pl. 1. p.125. To
avoid this superflaous repetition, and save as much room.
as possible, I found it expedient to adopt, from page 72
to the end, the following mark (—), to be placed after
the specific character whenever it had been amended ;
so that Stipa avenacea, page 72, is the same species de-
— ribed 5 Willd. sp. pl. 1. p. 442, but the character is
iugmented. Wherever the author follws ‘thie

xx PREFACE,
In some of the more intricate genera, as Monarda;
Vaccinium, Andromeda, Salix, &c. the specific charac-
ters have been extended to a rather unusual length,
which may be objected to by some, but I am persuaded
will be approved of by most. The beauty of a short
and perspicuous character is without doubt preferable
toalong one, which the more it is extended the more
ambiguous it will become; but the nature of certain
genera will absolutely not admit this conciseness, and
the works of some of the most celebrated authors
have lately proved that it is inconvenient to be limited
by a certain number of words in forming the specific
character. Among many others I only need to mention
Willdenow's last volume of the Species Plantarum, par-
ticularly the genus Aspidium, and Mr. Robert Brown's
excellent “Treatise on the Proteacez," in the tenth vo-
lume of the Transactions of the Linnean Society. In
both these works examples will be found, where the
length of the specific character equals if not exceeds in
number of words the longest in the present work. :
It would have been needless to encumber the work
with a superfluous number of synonyms, which can be -
found in the authors referred to ; but those of alate date,
or any way illustrative toward the true determination of
the species, have been carefully collected, as the means I
was possessed of were particularly favourable to the as-
certainment of those points, which may be of the high-
est utility to future publications on the same subject.
In respect to the figures referred to, care has been
taken to quote the most correct whenever there was a
choice. The plates which accompany the work have
PREFACE. xxi
been carefully selected, either from highly interesting
new plants, or those which will not admit of cultivation,
as some of the Rhexias, Lupinus, Gerardia, &c. As
the plates were executed during the progress of the
work through the press, references to them could not
be inserted in the proper places ; but as the plates
themselves refer to the pages of the work, it will be
easy to supply this deficiency,
Particular attention has been paid in describing the
soil, situation, and range of country each species is
found in, which will be found very useful to the practi-
cal botanist, and especially so to the cultivator of those
plants.
After the usual sign of duration, and the time, of
flowering, each species has been faithfully marked
whether I have seen it myself in a living state (v. v.),
or only in a dried specimen (v. s.) ; in the latter case the
name of the herbarium I had it from is generally men-
tioned. Those I have adopted without seeing them
myself in either state, and which ape Yat tey; I have
marked (+).
To each species a short pote hen heon lide; respect
ing the colour and size of the flower, the habit of the
plant, or some other interesting subject illustrative of the
species.
— Very full descriptions have been given of only so some
of the most interesting new species, as the limits of the
work would not admit of it in general. The careful
to authors and good figures will amply supply
In the alteration made in the systematie arrangement,
I have been guided by the hints given by the leartted
Dr. J. E. Smith, in his excellent “ Introduction to Bo-
tany.” The classes Dodecandria and Polyadelphia are
entirely omitted, and their genera inserted in their pro-
per places in the other classes.. Asarum next to Aris-
tolochia, in Gynandria, Bejaria, Portulacca, Talinum,
Calligonum, and Hypericum, in Polyandria. Hudso-
nia next to Helianthemum, with which it is closely
related in the same class, Decumaria, Lythrum, Cu-
phea, and Agrimonia; in Icosandria. Halesia near
Styrax, in Monadelphia. Euphorbia in Diclinia, where
it forms; with its other genera, a natural as well as d
Ciel order: The pines seme Dicis

ferred to their proper classes. The genus Diotis more
properly belongs to Tetrandria, but had been omitted in
that elass, Najas and Valisneria are genera of an
order of this class, to which probably might be added
all the Aroidee. How far these alterations may meet

period in a more perfect shape than the limits of this
work would admit; it. being absolutely necessary. to
illustrate those minute objects with correct figures, with-
out which mere words are useless in describing them. _
At the end of the work I have given a Table of Ano-
malous Flowers; great pains have been taken to make
it as correct as possible, This will be found of infinite
service, particularly to the young botanist. For this
. purpose I shall give an example of the use of it. Should
‘the young beginner, unacquainted with the genus Ga-
dium, happen to find Galium trifidum, vol. i. p. 103,
he would in vain look for its genus in Triandria; but by
referring to this table among the anomalous genera, he
will very easily find its proper genus. Again, by ex-
amining a flower of Asclepias, he might very probably
consider the ten pollen masses for as many anthers,

the correctness of this work, the author is well aware
that it will not be found free from those errors which are
“unavoidable in (nay almost inseparable from) publica-
tions of this nature, where so great a number of autho-
tities are to be referred to. But he still consoles him-
self with the idea of having given to the world a work

-= "This very curious shrub, of which I have likewise ob-
served a specimen in the museum of A. B. Lambert,

affinity to. Paltoria ovalis Flor. per. 1. p. 44. t. 84.

little did [ suspect it to be the true Convolvulus Ja-
lapa, till two circumstances convinced me thereof.
The first was seeing a paper on this subject in the An-
nales du Museum d' Histoire Naturelle, by Desfontaines ;
and the other, on seeing the living plant recently
raised out of a collection of seeds brought from Mex-
ico, in possession of A. B. Lambert, Esq., which in -
every respect proved to be Convolvulus Jalapa of
Linnzus, as well as [pomeea macrorhiza of Michaux,
with only the small difference of colour, which was
alight purple: but this is of no consequence in this
family of plants.

Cinchona only makes it excusable to keep it separate -

that if Pinckneya is not united with Cinchona, tl
will be some of the latter genus found belonging

This singular and beautiful perennial I discovered
about the year 1805, and considered it as a species of
rgolasia of Jussieu or Lanaria of Aiton, until I
had the opportunity of seeing Mr. Brown’s Prodro-
mus, in which the genus Conostylis is the nearest of
any genus I know, thoügh it even differs from that
genus materially by the germ being almost entirely
superior, and not half inferior.

I have had the opportunity of seeing the Menispermum
of the above authors frequently in flower, I am eon-
‘vinced that all the above synonyma are correct : the
number of stamina being variable, brings the ge-
“pus so neat to Menispermum, that T sbould not have -
taken it from it, if it were not on the authority of

June, July. v.v. JÉa€—
I have frequently observed a ingali y in this plant,
and it might be interesting to make further inquiry
into its cause; it is, that in a dark night, when no
objects can be distinguished at an inconsiderable di-
stance, this plant when in full flower can be seen at
a great distance, having a bright white appearance,
Which probably may arise from some phosphoric pro-
perties of the flowers.

the publication of that gentleman's Tour across the
Continent of America to the Pacific Ocean. In 1812,
Mr. Nuttall, on bis return from a journey in those
parts, brought seeds and specimens of this and another
species to London; and baving by those means the
living plants, I agreed with Mr. Nuttall to dedicate
it to the memory of Dr. B. S. Barton, of Philadel-
phia, our mutual friend ; under which name it was
published in the Botanical Magazine, Since that pub-
lication, Mr. Nuttall, whose name bas occurred in se-
veral pages of this work, with all the credit due to bis
valuable discoveries, has found himself rather offend-

of discovery, which with justice and propriety to the
memory of M. Lewis, Esq. I never could do.
