Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Plants of Los Angeles County, Vol. 1: Phaenogamia Some of the species have one or two asterisks prefixed. One indicates those recorded of which we have seen no authentic specimens, some of which we feel assured have been wrongly identified. The original authority is appended. Two indicate those recorded in the Botany of California, Brewer Watson's second edition, which have not, so far as we are aware, been collected in recent years. The names printed in italics indicate those species believed to be non natives of this county. Local lists without a collection to indicate exactly the plants referred to are Of doubtful scientific value. While we are without a museum or other public institution in which to deposit the collections on which this list is founded, the species indicated may be found in the herbaria of the collaborators. In the present disturbed state of botanical nomenclature neither the method of arrangement nor the specific names chosen may be considered either modern enough, or ancient enough, to suit the pedagogues. For thisthe author is alone to blame, his aim in this work having been to produce a useful field guide for the botanists of this coast, and not a critical treatise on species or varieties.
