1201. NARCfSSUS [Tourn.] L. 



Flowers white, crown small, usually much less than half as long as the perianth 

 segments, crisped, red-edged. (See excluded species no. 147, p. 1036.) . . .N. poeticus. 



Flowers yellow, crown equaling or exceeding the perianth segments. (See excluded 

 species no. 148, p. 1036.) N. Pseudo-Narcissus. 



1219. AGAVE L. 



1. Agave virginica L. (Manfreda virginica (L.) Salisb.) False Aloe. 

 Map 675. Local but rather frequent in southern Indiana. It is generally 

 found only in soil of low fertility in open places on the crests and spurs of 

 post oak and black oak ridges. It is frequent also in the post oak flats of 

 the southwestern part of Posey County. The plants are usually 3-5 feet 

 high and not branched. It is perfectly hardy at Bluffton and does well in 

 black loam soil. In 1932 we had one plant that was 6.4 feet high and 

 that had a long, flowering branch at almost every node, eight branches in 

 all. Ralph M. Kriebel found a large colony on top of a limestone bluff 

 along White River about a mile below Tunnelton in Lawrence County, 

 which had by actual count about 2000 individuals. Outside the range 

 shown on the map it has been reported from Daviess, Jefferson, and Scott 

 Counties.

1230. HYPOXIS L. 



1. Hypoxis hirsuta (L.) Coville. Goldeye-grass. Map 676. Infre- 

 quent throughout the state but usually common where it is found, especially 

 in marshland in moist, prairie habitats. It seems to prefer an acid habitat 

 but I have seen it growing in marly bogs with Parnassia. In southern Indi- 

 ana it is found in rather sandy soil on the crests of black oak ridges, on 

 sandstone outcrops, and in the post oak flats, while in the northern part of 

 the state it is usually found in sandy soil at the base of black oak slopes, in 

 mucky soil in marshes, and in moist, black sandy soil in prairies.
