Allium canadense L. 



erally common except in marshes and springy places. This species has a 

 wide range of habitat and distribution. It is usually found on the high and 

 dry banks of streams but it is also found in low, sedge marshes, in marly 

 springy places, and on gravelly bars in rivers. The color of the flowers 

 ranges from white to deep pink. The white form has been named and I 

 have it from Wabash County.

1050. NOTHOSCORDUM Kunth False Garlic 



1. Nothoscordum bivalve (L.) Britton. False Garlic. Map 641. A few 



colonies of this plant have been found in the southwestern counties but 1 

 think it is much more common than our records show. Since it reproduces 

 only by seed it may be more restricted than I think it to be. I found it to be 

 common in alluvial bottoms about 4 miles northwest of Bloomfield, Greene 

 County and also in low ground in the post oak flats south of Half Moon 

 Pond in Posey County.

 and Jamaica.
