1. Clintonia borealis (Ait.) Raf. Bluebead. Map 651. This is a very 

 rare plant in Indiana and I have specimens from only three places. I have 

 a specimen collected by Umbach on May 14, 1898, in full flower in a swamp 

 near Miller, Lake County. I have another specimen discovered by M. W. 

 Lyon, Jr., and Mrs. Lyon in a tamarack bog near Dune Park, Porter 

 County. In 1935 I collected a specimen discovered by R. M. Tryon, Jr., in 

 a decadent bog in the eastern part of Porter County. 



This species will probably reach extinction in Indiana before long.
