Excerpt from Phytogeography of Nebraska: General Survey This work is the result of nearly five years of active study of the floral covering of Nebraska, carried on by the members of the Botanical Seminar in the Botanical Survey of the State. The study of the vegetation of Nebraska, begun when Dr. Bessey came to the University, in 1884, was carried on, chiefly from the floristic side, by members of the Seminar from 1886 to 1892, with zeal and effect. During that time Messrs. Smith, Webber, Williams, and Woods, together with one of the authors of the present work, devoted a large portion of their botanical energies to the determination of the flora of the State and of the distributional boundaries of species. When the Botanical Survey was organized in 1892, both of the authors became members, and from that time, assisted at times by Mr. Smith, Mr. Woods, Mr. Rydberg, Mr. Saunders, Mr. Shear, Mr. Bell, and Mr. Ernst Bessey, they have directed the work of the Survey with a view to the ultimate publication of a report, or a series of reports, in which the floral covering of the State should be treated from the phytogeographical standpoint, and a series of monographs dealing with it from a floristic standpoint. A beginning has been made in the latter direction by the publication of three parts of the Flora of Nebraska. The time seems ripe for putting forth the first installment in the former series. A great deal remains to be done in many directions, such as phenological observations in regions III and IV, for example, that will render a complete phytogeography of Nebraska impossible for many years to come. But the work of the Survey has progressed far enough to enable us to present the general portion of such a phytogeography in an adequate manner, and to deal with detain in many of the more important subjects.
