Excerpt from Catalogue of the Phænogamous and Vascular Cryptogamous Plants of Worcester County, Massachusetts
The intervales along the rivers are rich, but the soil of most uplands and pastures is poor, yet not without a due reward to the labor of the industrious husbandman.
In the preparation of this list, so far as it contains names of plants found in other towns than Millbury, the writer is under great obligations to Prof. T. E. N. Eaton of Wor oester, who has botanized extensively in the county, and furnished valuable aid, as will be seen by referring to the list itself. For the list of species under the genera Naias and Potamogeton, he is indebted to the courtesy of Rev. Thomas Morong of Ashland, who has collected those genera very extensively and has also had access to the collection and papers of the late Dr. Robbins of Uxbridge the series of Potamogetons presented to the Worcester Natural History Society by Miss Emily W. Sargent of Worcester was also of great use.
