Excerpt from Flora of Nebraska: A List of the Conifers and Flowering Plants of the State With Keys for Their Determination In making this list the aim has been to include all conifers and owering plants, both native and introduced, which grow without culti vation in Nebraska. The known range of each species in the state is given, followed by a list of the localities from which it has been reported. These localities are mostly based on specimens in the herbarium of the University of Nebraska. The arrangement of the larger groups is 'that of Dr. C. E. Bessey in his Synopsis of Plant Phyla. Within the families the order is usually that of Britton's Manual. As this list contains no descriptions it should be used in connection with a descriptive manual. For this purpose Britton's Manual of the Flora of the Northern States and Canada is recommended as it is the only one covering the entire state. It is published by Henry Holt and Company, New York. Each group is preceded by analytical keys and at the beginning of the book keys to the orders will be found. The aim has been to make these as simple and non-technical as possible. As the number of plants treated is much smaller than in the larger manuals the keys should be much easier to use. In order to make it easy to find the descriptions, after the name has been found by the keys, the page in Britton's Manual where the genus is treated is given after the name of each genus, thus Bromus 148.
