ResumoSummary Lowden, R. M.: Riddell, Sullivant, and the early botanical exploration of Franklin County, Ohio, U.S.A. (1832‐1840). – Taxon 46: 689‐703. 1997. – ISSN 0040‐0262. Two frontier botanists, John Leonard Riddell and William Starling Sullivant, treated the vascular flora of Franklin County, Ohio, U.S.A., creditably despite the scarcity of proper books and the lack of opportunity to consult herbaria. Their vascular plant catalogues document the first species (and their habitats) discovered in this central Ohio county, now the site of the state capital. A list is presented of 24 vascular plant taxa first named and described from Franklin County.
