 Phlox Carolina 

 var. triflora (Michx) Wherry 



woods in a few of the eastern counties. Phinney's report for Jay County 

 can not be verified. 



This is an Applachian Mountain species, extending from e. Pa. to nw. 

 Ohio and n. Ind., southw. to Ga. and Tenn. 



4. Phlox Carolina L. var. triflora (Michx.) Wherry. (Wherry. Bartonia 

 13:30-37. 1932.) Map 1684. Low woods and moist, wooded ravines. Very 

 rare in Indiana. 



This variety of the species ranges from Md. to Ind., southw. to N. C. 



5. Phlox glaberrima L. (Wherry. Bartonia 14: 14-19. 1932.) SMOOTH 

 Phlox. Map 1685. Infrequent in prairie habitats in the northwestern 

 part of the state and in the Illinoian area, especially in the southwestern 

 part of the state, in hard, clay soil in low woods. Usually frequent to even 

 common where it is found. Generally in low, wet woods and along roadsides 

 in southern Indiana, and mostly along roadsides and railroads in the 

 northwestern part. I collected an albino form of this species which I 

 planted and it has done well in cultivation for nearly four years. It seems 

 to prefer a slightly acid soil. 



Wherry divides this species into two varieties, a northern and a southern 

 one, as follows : 



Sepals 5.5-7.5 mm long, united to about two thirds their length; calyx lobes thus 1.5-3 



mm long P. glaberrima var. interior Wherry. 



Sepals 6.5-8.5 mm long, united a half to two thirds their length; calyx lobes thus 2.5-4 



mm long P. glaberrima var. melampyrifolia (Salisbury) Wherry. 



The first variety is the northern form of the species and extends as far 

 south as Kentucky, hence all Indiana plants belong to this variety. The 

 second variety is the southern representative of this species and has not 

 yet been found as far north as Indiana. 



Se. Va. to se. Wis., southw. to n. Fla. and e. Tex. 



6. Phlox maculata L. (Wherry. Bartonia 14: 20-26. 1932.) Sweet 

 William Phlox. Map 1686. An infrequent plant but usually frequent to 

 common where it is found. It generally occurs in open, springy places,
