of the southeastern part, elsewhere it is usually infrequent. It prefers 

 moist habitats but is also found in dry habitats. The foliage is variable. 

 The typical and most prevalent form has leaflets with nearly regularly 

 serrate margins, but there is also a form with sharply toothed or jagged 

 margins. The latter form is common in Lagrange County. The range is 

 not yet known but probably extends from New York, Ohio, Indiana, and 

 Wisconsin to Minnesota.

1. Fragaria virginiana Duchesne. Virginia Strawberry. Map 1146. 

 Probably found more or less frequently throughout the state, especially in 

 the lake area, although there are no records from the southern counties. 

 The fact that in my early collecting I rarely collected strawberries ac- 

 counts for the scarcity of my records and for the absence of records from 

 certain parts of the state. This is true not only of this species but of the 

 remainder of the genus. This species is found in wet, moist, and dry soils,
