Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Excerpt from Contribution to the Flora of Yucatan Taking the present data, the flora of Cozumel is probably more West Indian than continental American in character; for, although the number of species, excluding doubtful ones common to Cozumel and the Continent, but not found in the West Indies, is somewhat larger than the number of West Indian species found in Cozumel, but not on the mainland, those of the latter category are of a more dis tinct type than those of the former. This may prove true, yet an element enters into the collection upon which Professor Hemsley based his observation of which he had no knowledge; the collector, Dr. Gaumer, a resident of the mainland, collected on Cozumel only such species as he had not observed on the Peninsula.

Charles Frederick Millspaugh was born on 20 June 1854, at Ithaca, New York. He was the son of John Hill Millspaugh, an artist, and Marion (Cornell) Millspaugh, sister of Ezra Cornell.
At an early age, Millspaugh took great interest in sports and natural history. While still a boy he became acquainted with Louis Agassiz and began a long friendship which had much to do with shaping his subsequent career. He studied at Cornell University, 1871-73, then at the New York Homeopathic Medical College and Hospital, where he received the degree of M. D. in 1881. From 1881 to 1890 he practised medicine at Binghamton, New York, and then for one year at Waverly, New York. During this time, he became interested in botany and made a special study of plants used in medicine, preparing a monumental two-volume work, illustrated by himself with 180 colored plates, which was published in 1887 under the title, American Medicinal Plants.
Millspaugh's skill as an artist, which he attributed to early instruction from his father, added to the value of this work, which brought him so prominently before the botanical fraternity that in 1891, he was called to the chair of botany in the University of West Virginia. Here he published a "Preliminary Catalogue of the Flora of West Virginia", and began to specialize in the Euphorbiaceae, contributing a number of papers on this subject to various journals between 1890 and 1915. After the World's Columbian Exposition (1893), he became curator of botany at the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, a position which he held until his death. A few years before his death he went to Santa Catalina Island to rest after a serious operation, but while there studied the flora of the island and, in collaboration with L. W. Nuttall, prepared an extensive paper.

In person, Charles Frederick was a man of unusually fine appearance. He was athletic, and a good tennis player even at an age when most men are too slow for such sport. His distinguished appearance made a good first impression which improved with acquaintance. His extensive travels, wide information, and knowledge of the world developed contacts which brought invitations to yacht cruises among the Antilles, where so much of his collecting was done.
On September 19, 1877, Millspaugh married Mary Louisa Spaulding, who died in 1907, and in 1910, he married Clara Isobel Mitchell.
