The Botanical Section of the Rochester Academy of Science has for many years entertained the plan of eventually publishing the flora of this region, and the members of the Section have individually and collectively labored earnestly toward that end. About four years ago the Section appointed a Committee, consisting of the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, to compile and prepare for publication the flora of Monroe county and adjacent territory. The Committee have collated all the lists of plants of this vicinity which they have been able to obtain, have examined the specimens in the herbarium of the Academy, and have used all available sources of information. Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Serials Collection i894.] PLANTS OF MONROE COUNTY. 3 SCOPE OF THK LIST. The list aims to include the names of plants which grow without cultivation in Monroe and adjoining counties. While it is believed to be nearly complete as regards Monroe county, it is not claimed to be so for the adjacent counties. The list includes phanerogams and vascular acrogens. Much care has been exercised in the determination of specimens, and all those concerning which there have been reasonable doubts have been excluded. TERRITORY INCLUDED. The territory included, as seen by the accompanying map, com­ prises the whole of Monroe county and parts of Genesee, Livingston, Orleans, Ontario and Wayne counties. The area in general is the lower drainage basin of the Genesee river, with that of Irondequoit creek and smaller streams upon the lake border. THE MAP. The map, Plate 1, was drawn expressly to accompany this list, and is designed to be a guide to all parts of the region, locating as it does the roads and streams, and points of especial botanical interest. In lack of any definite geographic boundaries, the outlines of the map were fixed somewhat arbitrarily. AUTHORITIES AND COLLECTORS. EARLY BOTANISTS OF THE REGION. The work and records of some of the early botanists have been of great assistance to us. Among these botanists DR. CHESTER DEWEY, whose work in Rochester extended from 1836 to 1867, is the most eminent. His great work on the Carices had been commenced in 1824, and he brought to Rochester an established reputation as a botanist.

  • Checklist Flora of the Former Carden Township, City of Kawartha Lakes, on 2016
    Hairy Beardtongue (Penstemon hirsutus) Checklist Flora of the Former Carden Township, City of Kawartha Lakes, ON 2016 Compiled by Dale Leadbeater and Anne Barbour © 2016 Leadbeater and Barbour All Rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or database, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, without written permission of the authors. Produced with financial assistance from The Couchiching Conservancy. The City of Kawartha Lakes Flora Project is sponsored by the Kawartha Field Naturalists based in Fenelon Falls, Ontario. In 2008, information about plants in CKL was scattered and scarce. At the urging of Michael Oldham, Biologist at the Natural Heritage Information Centre at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Dale Leadbeater and Anne Barbour formed a committee with goals to: • Generate a list of species found in CKL and their distribution, vouchered by specimens to be housed at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, making them available for future study by the scientific community; • Improve understanding of natural heritage systems in the CKL; • Provide insight into changes in the local plant communities as a result of pressures from introduced species, climate change and population growth; and, • Publish the findings of the project . Over eight years, more than 200 volunteers and landowners collected almost 2000 voucher specimens, with the permission of landowners. Over 10,000 observations and literature records have been databased. The project has documented 150 new species of which 60 are introduced, 90 are native and one species that had never been reported in Ontario to date.
