Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Catalog of Ohio Vascular Plants, Arranged According to the Phyletic Classification: With Notes on the Geographical Distribution in the State, Based Mainly on Specimens in the State Herbarium, Botanical Laboratory, the Ohio State University
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 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 elusion 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.
