Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the State Botanist: Made to the Regents of the University, Pursuant to Chapter 355 of the Laws of 1883 Gentlemen. - I have the honor of communicating to you the following report, covering the time from September, 1893, to July, 1894. Specimens of plants for the State Herbarium have been collected by the Botanist in the counties of Albany, Clinton, Essex, Oneida, Rensselaer, Suffolk, Ulster and Washington. The number of species of which specimens have been added to the Herbarium is 115, of which 24 were not previously represented therein. The species described as new are 10. A list of added species is marked A. Correspondents to the number of 11 have contributed specimens. Most of these specimens represent extra limital species, but live species new to the State are represented by them and four new to science. A list of the contributors and of their contributions is marked B. A record of species not previously recognized as belonging to our flora, together with descriptions of new species, is marked C. Notes and observations on species already recorded will be found under D. The genus Carex is one of the largest, and at the same time one of the most distinct and most easily recognized, of all our plant genera. In the Flora of the State of New York, Dr. John Torrey records 91 species belonging to this genus. In 1881 the number of New York species had increased to 119. At the present time we have more than 130 species. Only 29 are recorded in the Manual that have not been found in our State, and six of these are introduced species and yet quite limited in their range.
