Francis Daniels' Flora of Columbia, Missouri

Abstract

In a previous paper, (Amer. MidI. Nat. 12: 185, 343, 1931) I reported the results of my examination on the grasses as well as on the Carices of Daniels' Flora of Columbia, Mo. (Univ. Mo. Stud. Sci. Ser. 1 (2), 1907). This report covers the greater number of specimens upon which Daniels based the remaining part of his Flora. Since this work appeared in print, some changes have been made in specific names. Further research on certain genera, especially on Crataegus, Malus, Rubus, Rosa, Prunus and Carya, has resulted in additions to the number of species known to occur in the state. It has also been discovered that many species supposed to occur in Missouri are not found in the state, and, consequently, have been falsely reported from Boone County. This is especially true of species of the genera Equisetum, Tradescantia, Polygonatum, Celtis, Aesculus, Acer and Viburnum. In this report, I am presenting Daniels' generic and specific names and his numbers just as he has given them in his Flora, so that reference to the species can be readily made.
