[List of scientific names of plants].

The number of plants in the county of Milwaukee [alone] that have been detected and examined without including mosses and the lower orders of Cryptogamoe is 678
In adjoining counties, &c. beside the above- 97
In northern Wisconsin, besides the above (collected by Dr. Houghton and others)- 82
Total number of species already detected-857

But as much of the country has not been visited by any botanist we may fairly presume that this is far below the actual number, and that Wisconsin is as rich in plants as other states in the same latitude.
