distant. The fact that it was still persisting in 1936 shows it to be well 

 established in this locality. It has been found in Goodland, Newton County, 

 by Madge McKee. Grimes found it in waste ground in Russellville, Putnam 

 County. It doubtless could be found in many other places. 



Nat. of Eurasia; Newf. to Man., s. Alaska, southw. to Fla., Tex., 

 and Calif. 



5. Veronica officinalis L. Common Speedwell. Map 1844. This 

 species prefers a dry and rather sandy soil. It is infrequent in the lake 

 area and progressively less frequent to rare southward. It is most frequent 

 in pastures and open woodland. 



Nat. of Eurasia; Newf. to Wis., southw. to N. C. and Tenn. ; also in 

 e. S. Dak., and near the Pacific coast in Wash, and Oreg. 



6 Veronica Chamaedrys L. Germander Speedwell. Map 1845. This 

 species was first collected in 1924 by A. R. Bechtel in the Crawford woods 

 near Crawfordsville, Montgomery County. He made a second collection in 

 1935 and he says it is well established there.

 and near the coast in Wash, and Oreg. 



7. Veronica scutellata L. Skullcap Speedwell. Map 1846. Infrequent 

 to frequent in the lake area with two stations south of it. It prefers the 

 dried-up borders of ponds that are well covered with old leaves. While it 

 sometimes grows in marshes and in muck it prefers to root in decaying 

 vegetation. 



Newf. to Mackenzie, southw. to Va., 111., Colo., and Calif.

 loving plant which is found in swampy places. Our only specimen was 

 collected by Nieuwland in the Mineral Springs Bog, Porter County.
