This is intended to be a nearly complete list of the Phoenogamotis Plants (;ind Filices) growing in the immediate vicinity of OQUAWKA, ILLINOIS. 709 species are enumerated, (not including Mosses,) and of these I have found 654 within three miles of OQUAWKA. During the last three years I have kept a careful record of the time of flowering of many of our plants, and thinking this record might be of interest to my correspondents, I give the dates. The record for each year was made without any reference to the dates of other years. January 1, 1874. HARRY N. PATTERSON. 467690 The ! affixed to dates in the column of "first fls." signifies that the plant was in flower at that time, perhaps a few days earlier ; in the column of "last fls." the sign denotes that the plant remained in flower until that date, perhaps a little later.
