8. Scutellaria incana Spreng. (Scutellaria canesceiis Nutt. and Scutel- 

 laria incana Muhl.) Map 1738. Infrequent throughout the state except 

 the northern part, from which we have no records. Usually found in 

 dry soil in black and white oak and in beech and sugar maple woods. 

 Rarely along roadsides and in wet situations. About half of my specimens 

 from the southern part of the state have stems more or less glandular- 

 pubescent.

9. Scutellaria ovalifolia Pers. (Scutellaria pilosa Michx. and Scutel- 

 laria pilosa var. hirsuta (Short) Gray of Coulter's Cat. 1900.) Map 1739. 

 Infrequent to rare in the area of the southern part of the state shown by 

 the map. On black and white oak and beech and sugar maple wooded 

 slopes. Probably entirely absent from most of the Tipton Till Plain and 

 the lake area. I have specimens from dry, white oak woods in De Kalb 

 and Lagrange Counties. Nieuwland collected it in St. Joseph County. It 

 has been reported from 3 other counties, Dearborn, Floyd, and Putnam. 

 The great variation in the length of the pubescence led to the naming of 

 the extreme pubescent form but the species is now regarded as variable 

 enough to include this form.

10. Scutellaria ovata Hill. {Scutellaria versicolor Nutt. and Scutel- 

 laria cordifolia Muhl.) Map 1740. Infrequent in beech and sugar 

 maple and white oak and beech woods throughout the state, although 

 we have no specimens from the northern counties. We have Van Gorder's 

 record from Noble County which is the only one north of the range 

 shown on the map. It is to be noted that this species is a preferred food 

 for insects and it is often very difficult to secure an herbarium specimen 

 which is not badly eaten by them. The bracts of the flowers are variable 

 in size. We have one specimen from Tippecanoe County which has large, 

 broadly cordate bracts about 8 mm. long.
