Transcription Notes:
Checked species names through eol.org (first page so far). Convolvulus repens is a species, but I didn't see that being written after Convolvulus. (first page, first column, near bottom.)
@GigglePop!, perhaps Convolvulus sepium? - jeni92127
Likely that (second column, first page) "Asclepias syracia" is Asclepias syriaca. GigglePop!
@GigglePop, agreed - jeni92127
Reviewed through the top of second page. - @raferrante
