Présentation de l'éditeur

While many lists of plants occurring in certain restricted localities have been published, as far as I am aware no manual with full descriptions and keys devoted to but one county and professing to include all the species found in that county has ever been published in the United States. That I have attempted here. The book is intended for the use of students, and has been made as easy and as simple as possible. For that reason no attempt has been made to use natural keys, for such keys are always so full of exceptions as to make them worse than useless to the beginner. Therefore artificial keys have been constructed and used. The results obtained by the use of these keys can in each case be verified by the more enlarged and technical descriptions appearing under the families, genera and species respectively. It is hardly necessary to dwell upon the manifest advantages possessed by a manual of this character for local use over those which deal with areas embracing many states. Two-thirds or three-fourths of the species described in such works will not be found in any given locality, and the pupil cannot fail to be hindered by the necessity of studying the descriptions of these species in order to differentiate them from those species which actually occur in his vicinity. This, added to the fact that in a local manual the exact locality in which any certain species can be found is given, is sufficient to show the advantages of such a work. The descriptions here given are in most cases drawn from specimens collected in this county bymyself and others. Where that has not been possible specimens collected elsewhere have been resorted to, and in one or two cases published descriptions have been used, specimens of these species not being available. These descriptions have been further compared with those of the standard manuals and are believed to be accurate as a
