INTRODUCTION. The growing interest in botany during the last ten years has created the necessity for a manual for local work in botany, espe- cially as regards the Cape Fear region. The pamphlet, published by Dr. Curtis in 1832, has long since become a rarity, aud was not up to the recent date as regards the newer discoveries, and abounded in old synonyms. An attempt was first made to rewrite this catalogue, substituting the accepted syn- onyms of to-day, but ‘t was found best to re-write it entire. This pamphlet, therefore, has for its basis the work of Dr. Curtis. To it has been added all the plants which he subsequently added in his catalogue of the plants of the State, and the few other plants which have been added since that work was issued. We have given the date of flowering of plants, founded as much on personal observation as possible, but still we feel that this part of the work can be much improved. for the sake of many begin- ners, we have also added the color of flowers, knowing, of course, that to the scientific botanist, such a slight aid would be so imper- fect as to be of little use to him; but, for beginners, who are puz- zling over plant analyses for the first time, such a slight knowledge as the color of a flower would often be of help. Furthermore, am- ateur botanists, of whom there is an increasing number all over the State, appreciate such slight aids, and for these considerations we think the trouble has been well spent. We have added a map of the Cape Fear region which is accurately drawn to a seale (one mile to } inch), and will be found valuable to botanists and others. The basis of this map was one drawn by Capt. W. H. James, of the Confederate States Engineers, after a complete topographical survey during the war. Corrections and ad. ditions have been made to date, as nearly as possible, excepting a a ¢ 4 WILMINGTON FLORA. that the names of the proprietors of farms have been in many in- stances unaltered. It is easy enough, with this map, to go to any locality in the county, and botanists and amateurs, seeking the quite numerous local plants of this favored region, could hardly go amiss. Dr. Curtis’ original catalogue enumerated species found within a radius of two miles of Wilmington; but we have extended our search over the entire county, even extending to what is now a part of Pender county, especially including the region of Rocky Point, and of Smithville and Smith’s Island, and the part of Brunswick coun- ty immediately adjacent to Wilmington. ‘‘ Wilmington is situated in latitude 34° 17’, and longitude 78° 10’, about thirty miles from the mouth of the Cape Fear river, on which it stands, and eight miles from the sea, in an easterly direction. Its precise elevation above the ocean I have not learned,* but it is so small as to deserve little or no consideration in regard to botanical geography. Indeed much of the lowland in the vicinity is but little above the level of the ocean. The climate may be pretty well de- termined from the following table of temperature, made from ob- servations taken in 1832. The thermometer was placed in the shade on the north side of a house. Observations were taken six times a day from 8and 9 o’clock A. M. to11 P. M. Fractions omitted: J an.|Feb./Mar Apl.|May Ju’e |July/Aug |Sept!Oct.|Nov Dec.

I venture a short notice of this interesting plant, as 1 am not aware that any popular description of it has been published in this country. The leaf, which is the only curious part, springs from the root, spreading upon the ground, or at a little elevation above it. It is composed of a petiole or stem with broad margins, like the leaf of an orange tree, twoto four inches long, which at the end suddenly expands into a thick and somewhat rigid leaf, 2 ie the two sides of which are semi-circular, about two-thirds of an inch across, and S blue-white fringed around their edges with somewhat rigid ciliz or long hairs like eye-lashes.
