1. Anemone quinquefolia L. var. interior Fern. (Rhodora 37: 260. 

 1935.) American Wood Anemone. Map 944. Infrequent to frequent or 

 local in rich, moist woods in the northern half of the state. I have no 

 specimens from the southern part although there are reports of it from six 

 southern counties.

2. Anemone caroliniana Walt. Carolina Anemone. Map 945. This 

 species was reported by Blatchley in Indiana Geol. Rept. 21 : 628. 1897. He 

 says it was reported by Miss Nora Arnold, who knew of its growing for 

 12-13 years in patches on a hill along Durkey's Ferry Road about 5i/ 2 

 miles north of Terre Haute, Vigo County. In April, 1933, I asked Prof. 

 Fred Donaghy of the Terre Haute State Normal School to try to redis- 

 cover this species. He found it and sent me specimens. He wrote that 

 a colony about 10 feet square was located on the slope of a bluff opposite 

 Durkey's Ferry. The plants grew in sandy soil among grasses, had very 

 shallow roots, and were 3-8 inches high. 



Open places, Wis. to Dak., southw. to Fla. and Tex. 



3. Anemone canadensis L. Meadow Anemone. Map 946. Found in 

 low ground in woodland and along roadsides, mostly in alluvial soil along 

 streams. Infrequent to frequent in the northern half of the state and in 

 the Wabash Valley, becoming rare or absent in the hilly counties. 



Cent. Maine, e. Que. to Alberta, southw. to Md., Mo., Kans., and Colo. 



4. Anemone cylindrica Gray. Candle Anemone. Map 947. Infrequent 

 throughout the lake area. It prefers a very sandy or gravelly soil and is 

 usually found in prairie habitats along railroads and roadsides and in 

 open woodland, usually on open, black and white oak ridges. Apparently
