Abstract

I did finally conclude in 1900 that in the West here, we had a species that seemed by general consent to be P. cormutaturn, while in the East there was something or some species that no one understood or knew anything about. This opinion of mine is found in the Manual of the Flora of Jackson County, Missouri, which was published in 1902. After the publication of the Manual, I put the whole matter of the species of POLYGONATUM into the pile of unsolved problems, and it remained there until I saw Farwell's paper on the Michigan species of Plygonatum.1 This paper of Farwell's which presented five species and six varieties, threw some light on hitherto obscure places, and made more obscure some things already too dark for me.
