Polemonium reptans L. 



and St. Joseph County specimens and is known as Phlox bifida var. stellaria 

 (Gray) Wherry. 

 S. Mich, to Iowa, southw. to Tenn. and Ark. 



10. Phlox subulata L. (Wherry. Bartonia 11: 18-28. 1929.) Moss 

 Pink. This species has been reported from six counties and probably 

 all of them should be regarded as escapes since the natural distribution is 

 mostly to the east of Indiana, and those making the reports do not give the 

 habitat. The St. Joseph County specimen, however, grew along the St. 

 Joseph River and may be native. It has been much used for planting on 

 graves in cemeteries. Since it has proved very hardy and prolific, its escape 

 is to be expected. I found it on a wooded slope along a creek and I traced 

 it back to a cemetery on the bank a short distance away. 



Cent. N. Y. to s. Mich., southw. to w. N. C. 



10a. Phlox subulata var. ciliata (Brand) Wherry. This is a form with 

 the hairs of the inflorescence normally glandless ; corolla purple, averaging 

 11 mm long with lobes 8 mm long and 5.5 mm wide. It has been reported 

 from St. Joseph County by Sr. McDonald for Nieuwland. The specimen 

 was collected 6 miles north of Notre Dame, near the Michigan boundary.

1. Ipomopsis rubra (L.) Wherry. (Bartonia 18: 56. 1936.) (Gilia 

 rubra (L.) Heller.) Standing Cypress. Map 1690. In my herbarium 

 there is a specimen from Cass County and there are specimens from two 

 places in Starke County. Four of the specimens I have seen are from sandy 

 roadside knolls and one I collected was on a cleared sand hill in a large black 

 oak woods about a mile south of Koontz Lake, Starke County. It has 

 escaped in the vicinity of Morocco, Newton County. This plant is biennial
