The Forest Trees of New England not found in Vermont are,
The Tulip Tree. Liriodendron Tulipifera.
Sweet Guin. Liquidambar Styraciflua. Black Walnut. Juglans nigra.
White Hickory, Carga alba.
White Cedar of Middle States. Cupressus thyvides.
Chestnut Oak. Quercus Castanca.
Post Oak. Quereus obtusiloba.
Cotton Tree. Populus heterophylla.
There are three species found in Ver- mont, and not elsewhere in N. England. The Overcup White Oak. Quercus ma- crocarpa.
The Northern Cork Elm. Ulmus racemosa .. The Heart-leaved Balsam Poplar. Popu- lus candicans.
The Overcup White Oak belongs to the states ofthe West, and has not been found even in New York. It was found in 1829, by Dr. Robbins, in many towns on the western border of the state from St. Al- bans to Bennington. It is distinguished by the great size of the acorn, and the fringed border of the cup.
The Northern Cork Bark Elm was first found in the state of New York, and was described by Mr. Thomas, in Silliman's Journal, in the same year (1829) that it was found by Dr. Robbins in Bennington and Pownal. It is easily distinguished from the other New England species by the broad plates of cork on its branches.
Three fine species of Poplar, the two Bal- sam Poplers, and the magnificent Vermont Poplar, Populus monilifera, are scarcely found unless cultivated, in any other of the New England states. Neither of these three Poplars, nor the Cotton Pop- lar, have been found native in New York by the Botanists of that State, according to the late Report and Catalogue of Dr.
Torrey. (According to the younger Mi- chaux, the Cotton Poplar is found nativo in the west of New York.)
The Vermont Poplar, and the Heart- leured Balsam Poplar, which Dr. Robbins found wild in many parts of Vermont, were not seen native in North America by either the elder or younger Michaux, and do not appear to have been previous- ly seen in a wild state by any Botanist in the United States.

NUMBER OF PLANTS.
WESTERN PART OF VERMONT.
Slipper, only two, Cypripedium acaule and arictinum, are found in the eastern part of New England.
Four species of Trillium are also found in Vermont, of which one, the magnili- cent Great flowered Trillium, is found no- where else in New England. In the eas- tern part of Massachusetts, no species is found'except Trillium cernuum.
Vermont is peculiarly rich in Orchideæ. The rare and beautiful Calypso has been found no where else in the United States, and Listera convullarioides in no other New England state. All the species of New England are found in Vermont, ex- cept two, Tipulariu discolor and Orchis rotundifolia.
Of the beautiful order of Ferns, Ver- mont contains two species not found else- where in New England, Pteris gracilis and Aspidium oculcatum, and several fine species which are wanting or rare in the east of New England, are common in Ver- mont. It has all the species of New Eng- land except Lygodium palmatum and Woodwardia onoctroides.
On the other hand Vermont is wanting in a great number of plants common in the south and east of New England. Of course it is destitute of all the species peculiar to the sea shore, and of all the numerous and beautiful " Weeds" of the Sea. The ele- gant Tulip Tree, common in the south- west of New England, the splendid Rose- bay, and the fragrant Magnolia, are not found in Vermont. In the whole there are more than 500 New England species which it does not possess, of which we will only mention Berberis nulguris, Silene Pennsyl- tunica, Tephrosia Virginianu, Rheria Vir- ginica, Liatris scariosa, Clethra alnifolia, Euchroma coccinea, Anagallis arvensis, Hyporis erecta, Aletris farinosa, Lilium enperbum, Poa Eragrostis, and Baptisia tinctoria.
The number of known phanogamous plants of' New England, with the addition of the Ferns, is nearly or quite 1500, ex- cluding a great number of nominal spe- cies generally admitted. The number of plants of Vermont of the same Orders, in the present catalogue, is 929. The whole number of species of the same orders ex- isting within the limits of the state, is doubtless as many as 1100 or 1200, so that there is still a very ample field for the discovery of additional species. Many species, indeed, exist on the very borders of Vermont, in New Hampshire and Mas- sachusetts, which we have no authority for inserting as natives of the state, and have not admitted into the catalogue, al- though we have no doubt that they are also Vermont plants.
We must not forget to mention that the vegetation of the castern part of Vermont is greatly inferior in beauty and variety to that of the western border. The pines and firs prevail more at the east, and the species of forest trees are not so numer- ous. While the west has nearly every plant of the east, the east is destitute of a vast number of those of the west. Among the species of Vermont plants wanting at the cast, we may mention the Vermont Poplar, both the Balsam Poplars, the Cotton Poplar, the Northern Cork Elin, the Orcreup White Oak, Viola Cona- densis and rostruta, Dielytra Canadensis, Uculariu grandiflora, Asplenium angusti- folium, rhizophyllum, and Ruta muraria, &e., besides others to be immediately no- ticed.
The western ridge of the Alleghany mountains, which at the head of lake Champlain ceases to exist, is broken and interrupted in the state of New York op- posite the southwestern border of Ver- mont, and thus an indirect and difficult entrance is opened to some of the plants of the west and northwest. The western border of Vermont thus appears to be- come the castern limit of a considerable number of plants, of which the following is a pretty complete list.
Anemone Pennsylvanica,
Corydalis aurea,
Symphoricarpus racemosus,
Justicia Americana,
Flærkea proserpinacoides,
Ceanothus ovalis, Nasturtium natans,
Viburnum pubescens,
Zanichellia palustris,
Carex eburnea,
Lathyrus ochroleucus,
Ulmnus racemosa, Quercus macrocarpa,
Aster ptarmicoides, Pterospora andromedea, Pteris gracilis, Zizia integerrima,
Lonicera hirsuta,
Polanisia graveolens, Trillium grandiflorum,*
Many of the above species, though not found more eastwardly in the United States, may possibly extend farther to tho east along the banks of the St. Lawrence.
The smomits of Mansfieldl and Camel's Hump Mountains, the highest mountains in the state, have been pretty thoroughly examined by Dr. Robbins, Mr. Tucker- man, and Mr. Macrae. These mountains, though destitute of trees at their very summits, from the violence of the winds

Other species, almost alpine, are Poa alpina, Empetrum nigrum, Sulix Uva-ursi, Bartsia pallida, Lycopodium Selago, &c.
The materials upon which the present Catalogue is founded, are the following.
The Catalogue of the plants of Middle- bury, published in 1221 in Professor Hall's " Statistical Account of the town of Mid- dlebury," and which was subsequently republished in the first edition of the pres- ent work, with the addition of the com- mon cultivated plants, and about 30 indi- genous and naturalized species, some of which were probably collected in other parts of the state, making in the whole 569 indigenous and naturalized species. The author of this Catalogue was Dr. En- WIN JAMES, the well known botanist in Long's Expedition to the Rocky Moun- tains. It was probably made almost en- tirely from his own collections, and though literally a mere list of names, it bears the marks every where of the great accuracy and research of its author, then a young botanist .. It is still the only au- thority for several rare species.
The collections made by JAMES W. ROBBINS, M.D., of Uxbridge, Mass., who in the year 1829 examined with the great- est care and success the whole western border of Vermont, from Massachusetts to Canada. Dr. Robbins entered the state at Pownal, on the 20th of May, and pass- ing slowly along the western border to the Canada line, examined the large isl- ands of lake Champlain, and afterwards visited Camel's Hump Mountain, leaving the state at Windsor on the 10th of June. On the 20th of July he again entered the state at Guildhall, and after examining the southern border of lake Memphrema- gog, and the towns in that vicinity, he visited Mansfield Mountain. From thence he proceeded to Burlington and Colches- ter, where he first discovered the remark- able botanical region at High Bridge and Winooski falls, so rich in rare and inter- esting plants, and after examining the shores of the lake and the islands of South and North Hero, he visited the mouth of Otter Creek, and, proceeding along the western range of towns from Shoreham to Pownal, left the state at Brattleboro' on the 23d of August. Dr. Robbins found
The collections of JOHN CAREY, Esq., of the city of New York, well known to Botanists by his contributions to the Flo. ra of Torrey and Gray, who resided at Bellows Falls during the five years pre- ceding 1836, and who also made frequent visits to the northeastern counties of the state. Though Mr. Carey's examinations were principally confined to the eastern part of the state, which is very inferior as a botanizing region to the western border, yet he collected very many rare and inter- esting plants, among which we may men- tion Calypso bulbosa, Listera concullarioi- des, and Equisetum variegatum. Mr. Ca. rey has also added to the catalogue a large number of common species, espe- cially Grasses and Cyperaceæ.
The collections of W. F. MACRAE, Esq. of Montreal, Canada, who, while resident at Burlington a few years ago, as a stu. dent fin the University of Vermont, examined with great zeal the Botany of that vicinity, and besides the more com- mon plants of that region, collected ma- ny rare and interesting species, among which were Pteris gracilis, and Druba arabisans, the first new to New England, the last collected there only by Michaux. Mr. Macrae also, in 1839, in company with EDWARD TUCKERMAN, JR., Esq., the author of several valuable papers on the Lichens of New England, visited Camel's Hump and Mansfield mountains, where, besides other rare species, they collected, on the sides of Mansfield, Aspidium acute- utum, found in the United States only by Pursh, and by him in the same region. Mr. Tuckerman has also communicated other species collected by him in various parts of Vermont.
Several very interesting species were added to the Flora of Vermont by the late J. CHANDLER, M. D., of Bennington, Vt., who also accompanied Dr. Robbins du- ring a part of his first tour, and several are given on the authority of ISAAC BRANCH, M. D., of Abbeville District, S. C., JEREMIAH BERGE, M. D., of Drews- ville, N. 11., M. M. REED, M.D. of Jack- souville, Ill., and P. T. WASHBURN, Esq. of Ludlow, Vt.
All the rarer species collected by Dr. Robbins, and many of the common ones, are ascertained from specimens received from him-the remainder rest on the au- thority of his journals in my possession, which were made daily during his tour. From his thorough acquaintance with the

plants of New England, and our mutual knowledge of each other's species, deri- ved from long intercourse and inter. change of specimens, I believe that very few if any mistakes have occurred as to the species received from himn.
I have received specimens from Dr. Chandler of all the plants given on his authority, and Dr. Robbins saw and ex- amined the species derived from Drs Branch, Burge, and Reed, in the herba- ria of those gentlemen.
I have also seen specimens from Mr. Macrae, of nearly all the species given on his authority.
I have seen only a few specimens from Mr. Carey, but have not hesitated to de- pend on his known accuracy, and intimate intercourse with Drs. Torrey and Gray. | ble to Botanists.
In preparing the Catalogue, I have gen- erally followed, especially as to the nom- enclature of the species, the truly excel- lent North American Flora of Torrey and Gray, now published as far as Vol. 2, No. 2. which corresponds with the first part of the Catalogue as far as the genus Bi- dens, inclusive. As to the remaining part, I have preferred such names and syno- nyms as are most certain and familiar to American Botanists, not always follow- ing my own opinions, as such a catalogue affords no room for their explanation and support. Owing to the excellent mate- rials at my disposal, the Catalogue is doubtless as complete as that of any state of the Union yet published, and I hope that it will be found useful and acceptu-
