The vascular flora of the counties immediately west and southwest of Richmond, Virginia (Goochland, Amelia, Chesterfield, Powhatan) is poorly represented in herbaria of the state and the United States National Museum of the Smithsonian Institution at Washington, D. C. Thus Massey (1961) gives quite incomplete data from this area of central Virginia. In order that published distributions records in Virginia may be as complete as possible, the following list of 74 species is presented. Some of the plants, as indicated, are new to central virginia.
