INTRODUCTION
The first part of this work, dealing with Africa, Australasia,
North America, South America, and the islands of the Atlantic,
Indian, and Pacific Oceans, was published in 1942.2 It contained
about 2,597 primary and 428 subsidiary titles, a total of 3,025,
and covered approximately 82,252,955 square kilometers (31,757,
897 square miles)3 of land surface.
The present part, dealing with western Europe from Finland to
Spain, Italy, and Switzerland (thus covering Europe with the
omission of Germany, the old empire of Austria-Hungary, the
Balkans region, Poland, and European Russia as now constituted)
‘Sidney 1“. Blake, world-known botanist and expert blbiiographer, completed verifying the
bibliographical data contained in Part II prior to his death on December 81, 1959. Alice Cary
Atwood, coauthor of Part I, also an expert bibliographer, continued to assist Dr. Blake in
the preparation of the manuscript from her retirement in 1942 until only a few weeks before
her death in 1947.

contains approximately 3,757 primary and 3,084 subsidiary titles,
a total of 6,841, and treats an area of about 3,044,174 square
kilometers (1,175,357 square miles). Thus, it has one primary
title for each 810 square kilometers (313 square miles), while
the first part had one for every 31,672 square kilometers (12,228
square miles), or a ratio of 39 to 1 in favor of the present part;
if the subsidiary titles are included in both cases, the ratio rises
to 61 to 1.
The purpose of this publication is essentially, as in the pre
viously published part, to furnish an annotated, geographically
and alphabetically arranged catalog of all the now useful floras
and floristic works, including those in periodical or serial litera
ture, that list or describe the complete vascular flora (or the
phanerogams or pteridophytes only) of any region or locality.
The work also includes all essentially complete publications on
useful, \veedy, poisonous, or woody plants, vernacular names, and
botanical bibliography; and for each country (but mostly not for
parts of a country) one or more works on ecology and phy
togeography, when these are available. For the most part only
the later works relating to a given area or subject are treated in
full, although earlier publications of the same scope are nearly
always mentioned under the titles of works that have replaced
them. In general, all available local floras (such as the floras of
towns or equivalent districts), regardless of age, are entered
even though there may be later works (such as county floras) of
wider scope that cover their territory. A considerable proportion
not only of the very local floras but also of those of counties,
provinces, and similar regions are old and by modern standards
inadequate, but they are included because they will be of use to the
local student and because they are needed to give a complete
picture of our present knowledge. Publications dealing with only
a part of the phanerogamic flora, such as a single family or larger
division, or a single group of useful plants, such as those produc
ing dyes or resins, are excluded, except for complete papers on
edible or medicinal plants. No attempt has been made to evaluate
the titles listed, but the presence of an item may be regarded as
an indication that it has some current utility. Publications that
are primarily ecological or phytogeographical have been excluded
unless they contain fairly complete lists of the plants of the area
discussed. Works of the “popular” type, intended for beginners
in botany, have been omitted except for a few that provide a
sufficient number of illustrations to be of value to the scientific
worker.
Except for unintentional omissions, this work contains all the
available nominally complete publications on the vascular flora
and the useful (including cultivated) and injurious plants,
vernacular names, and botanical bibliography of the countries
treated, as well as a considerable number of incomplete publica
tions on the same subjects, which for one reason or another have
seemed worthy of inclusion. It differs in scope from the first part
principally by including all complete works on pteridophytes,
weeds, and poisonous and cultivated plants; by giving a few
FLORAS or THE WORLD—PART n 3
general works on ecology, phytogeography, and related subjects;
and by indicating the libraries in which all works not available in
Washington were examined or the name of the correspondent who
supplied information about them. Parenthetically, it may be
stated that only about 64 of the works given in part I were not
then available in Washington, and that some of them have since
been added to libraries here.
Like part I, this list is fundamentally based on the subject card
catalog of botany in the library of the United States Department
of Agriculture, begun in 1906 under the direction of the late Dr.
Frederick V. Coville by Majorie F. Warner and Alice C. Atwood,
and continued by them and their assistants and successors until
July 1952.‘ However, the smaller and the more local publications
on European botany are so much less completely represented in
the catalog, and so many of them are not available in this country,
that much more extensive research has been necessary both in
literature and in American and foreign libraries to attain the
essential completeness of the first part. As before, not only the
Washington libraries (Department of Agriculture, Library of
Congress, Smithsonian Institution, National Library of Medicine
(formerly Surgeon-General’s Library), and Geological Survey),
but those of the Gray Herbarium and the Arnold Arboretum (now
in process of combination into one) and the New York Botanical
Garden have been examined. In addition, in the summer of 1950,
the author examined the libraries at the Muséum National
d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris; the Botaniska Avdelningen of the
Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum in Stockholm; the Universitetets
Botaniske Museum, Copenhagen; the Botanisch Museum en
Herbarium, Utrecht; the Rijksherbarium and the collection of the
Koninklijke Nederlandse Botanische Vereniging, Leiden: the
British Museum (Natural History), South Kensington; the Royal
Botanic Gardens, Kew; and the private libraries of N. Douglas
Simpson and George Taylor, in England. The authorities of the
Lloyd Library, Cincinnati, have lent many volumes and afforded
help in other ways, and Rogers McVaugh of the University of
Michigan has looked up many French publications in the Uni
versity library.
In nearly every country the author has benefited by the
assistance of one or more botanists, without whose help the work
would be much less complete. The following merit particular
mention in this connection: In Belgium, Walter Robyns; in Den
mark, J. B. Hansen; in Finland, Hans Luther; in France, Georges
Dillemann of Paris, Bernard de Retz of Versailles, and Paul
Jovet of the Muséum National; in Great Britain, D. H. Kent of
London, H. S. Marshall, E. J. Salisbury and George Taylor of Kew,
and N. Douglas Simpson of Bournemouth; in Iceland, Askell Love,
now of Montreal, Canada; in Italy, Luigi Fenaroli, Valerio Gia
comini, Rodolfo Pichi-Sermolli, and the late Francesco Sappa; in
Luxembourg, F. L. Lefort, now of Montreal, Canada; in Nether

Department of Agriculture library and now (1959) in its 23d volume. but no additions are
made to the botany card catalog. The botany subject catalog is now published in book form.

gal, A. R. Pinto da Silva; in Spain, Antonio de Bolos, the late
Arturo Caballero, and E. F. Galiano; in Sweden, Eric Hultén and
the late Gustaf Haglund; in Switzerland, Alfred Becherer.
The principal bibliographical sources utilized in thepreparation
of this work have been The Bradley Bibliography (coveringworks
through 1900) ; the Bibliographical Contributions from the Lloyd
Library; the bibliographies of Saelan for Finland; Krok for Swe
den; A. Blytt and others for Norway; Christensen for Denmark;
Love’s manuscript bibliography for Iceland; Druce for Great
Britain; De Wildeman and Durand for Belgium; Béguinot, Sac
cardo, and the Bullettino bibliografico della botanica italiana for
Italy; Eduard Fischer, the Schweizerische Botanische Gesell
schaft, and the Schweizerische Landesbibliotek for Switzerland;
and the following serial publications: Biological Abstracts (v. 1—
34 (4)), Bohnensieg's Repertorium annuum literaturae botanicae
periodicae (v. 1-8), Botanical Abstracts (v. 1-15), Botanisches
Centralblatt (from v. 174, Zentralblatt; v. 1-179 (us, 37), h.
1-8) and its Beihefte (v. 1-9), Bulletin de la Société Botanique
de France (v. 1-106(1/2)), Engler’s Botanische Jahrbiicher (v.
1—78(4)), Fortschritte der Botanik (v. 1—20), International
Catalogue of Scientific Literature (v. 1-14), Journal of Botany,
British and Foreign (v. 1-80(956)), and Just's Botanischer
Jahresbericht (v. 1-63, which cover literature through 1935).
The arrangement adopted is an alphabetical-geographical one,
summarized in the table of contents. Except in a few cases, each
publication has been listed in full only once, but all necessary
cross-references have been supplied. Under each geographical
heading (except Scandinavia, the provinces of France, and a few
other special cases), works covering the whole region are listed
first (under the heading General), followed by the local and
partial titles (under the heading Local); works relating to a
large part of a country not readily placed under its geographical
subdivisions have been either combined with the general titles or
separated (under the heading Partial). Wherever desirable, the
geographical information given in the title has been supplemented
in the annotation; in Sweden the name of the lan is given wher
ever it does not coincide with that of a landskap, in Denmark
the name of the amt (county), and in Italy and Spain, where
the arrangement is by regions, the name of the province is added
in each case. Figures of longitude always refer to the Greenwich
meridian.
Authors’ given names, when more than one, are cited only as
initials, but the full names and dates, whenever ascertainable,
have been given in the index; for this information the writer is
under great obligations to many of the cooperating botanists listed
in a paragraph above (especially, for Finland, H. Luther; Swe
den, E. Hultén, T. E. Hasselrot; Norway, J. Lid; Denmark, J. B.
Hansen; Iceland, A. Love; Great Britain, D. H. Kent, N. D. Simp
son, G. Taylor; Netherlands, S. J. van Ooststroom; Belgium, W.
Robyns; Spain, E. F. Galiano; Portugal, A. R. Pinto da Silva;
Switzerland, A. Becherer; for France and Italy no source of such
FLORAS OF THE WORLD—PART II 5
information was found). Spanish names are given in the usual
form; Portuguese names are alphabetized under the final one, but
the preceding family name or names are also written out in full.
Every work cited has been examined by the writer in Washington
libraries, except those for which the name of another library is
given at the end of the title (all of which were examined person
ally) orthose annotated “Notseen,” for each of whichthe name of
the correspondent supplying the data is quoted.
The examination and annotation of so many thousand publica
tions has brought to light so many common faults and omissions
that some comment will not be out of place. The essential fea
tures of even the shortest list of plants include a title that ac»
curately describes its contents; the most definite possible state—
ment of the geographical area covered (at the very least the name
of the province or county in which a given locality is placed)
with reference, in the case of small or obscure places, to the dis
tance and direction from some locality that can be found on any
reasonably detailed map, supplemented, if desirable, by details
of latitude and longitude; and a statement of the material on
which the list is based, whether the author’s collections and
observations alone or all the published and unpublished informa
tion. Any list that attempts to represent the known flora of a
region should also include a statement of the number of species
included (the significant feature is the number of species, not
that of the taxa, although the number of infraspecific forms and
hybrids may be added if desired), preferably divided among the
vascular cryptogams, gymnosperms, monocotyledons, and dicotyle
dons, and a bibliography in which the titles and references are
given accurately and in full, not merely to the volume of a work
or periodical or the first page of a paper. The alphabetical ar
rangement of all the genera of vascular plants without regard to
family or higher divisions, frequently used in Swedish and Dutch
local works, fails to give any idea of the composition of the flora
and is not to be commended, however convenient it may be from
the viewpoint of those who regularly employ it.
Additional items that add greatly to the value of a flora in
clude an account of the topography, hydrography, geology, soils,
and climate; botanical explorations and list of collectors, with
full names and some biographical information; list of herbaria in
which specimens are deposited; general and special features of
vegetation, forest conditions, ecology, phytogeography, life zones,
origin of flora, endemic species; notes on native and cultivated
useful plants; local vernacular names; lists of doubtful and ex
cluded species, with references; a gazetteer, including particu
larly localities not to be found in ordinary atlases, supplemented,
if possible, by a map; a list of botanical names first published
in the work; and an index. The inclusion or omission of keys,
descriptions, references, and synonymy depends on the purpose
for which the publication is intended and on the availability of
such information in other works. Authors of supplements to
published material should give a full reference to the title and
place of publication of the original paper.
6 MISC. PUBLICATION 797, U. S. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE
In the introduction to the first part of this work twenty titles
dealing with the useful and the woody plants of the world were
listed with annotations. It seems worth while to present the list
again here, with a few deletions and a greater number of titles
