7377. NICANDRA Adans. Apple-of-Peru 



1. Nicandra physalodes (L.) Pers. {Physalodes physalodes (L.) 

 Britt.) Apple-of-Peru. Map 1795. This species has been reported from 

 10 other counties than those in which I have found it. Two authors re- 

 port on its habitat and say: "In waste grounds." I have found it three 

 times and each time in a cornfield where it was frequent to abun- 

 dant. I have not been able to revisit any of these stations to learn 

 whether it has persisted. Since it is rarely or no longer cultivated, I be- 

 lieve its spread will be limited.

7379. LYCIUM L. Matrimony-vine 



1. Lycium halimifolium Mill. Common Matrimony-vine. Map 1796. 

 This species has been reported from 7 counties, and all of the reports but 

 one are nearly 40 years old. I do not believe this vine is any longer culti- 

 vated and doubtless its spread will be slow. I have seen it only once in 

 abundance or far from a habitation.
