CHAPTER VI. FLORA OF WASHTENAW COUNTY.
BY ELIZABETH C. ALLMENDINGER.
In the accompanying list, when plants have been reported by other persons, the name of the finder is in each case given. The list is probably nearly complete for the country embraced within four miles of Ann Arbor. Where plants have been found in other parts of the county, the localities are given in connection with them: where no location is given it is to be understood that the plant has been found within the limits first mentioned. A great majority of the species given have been found within these limits. Undoubtedly, many are yet to be discovered in other parts of the county, but, notwithstanding this fact, the list shows the region to be one of surprising richness in variety.
Dr. Gray, in his Botany of the Northern States, gives 130 orders. In Washtenaw county 101 are represented, leaving only 29 ot which we have no representatives.
Three hundred and eighty-one genera and 850 species are given in the list, which showing justifies the statement made above as to the wonderful variety found in the county.
A number of species, formerly found, are now extinct. All of these are marked with a star ( *) in the list; some are worthy of note on account of rarity or being confined to small localities. These are designated by a dagger (+); and still a few others, marked (), should be noted as having made their appearance within 15 or 18 years.
