858 Bignoniaceae Bignonia 



Plants flowering the last of August and through September, of a wet habitat; stems 

 usually pubescent below and glabrous above; leaves pinnately parted; capsules 

 ovate, scarcely longer than the calyx 2. P. lanceolata. 



1. Pedicularis canadensis L. Early Woodbetony. Map 1872. This 

 species prefers a dry, sandy, and slightly acid soil, although it is often 

 found in clayey soil, and I once found it well established in a marsh. It 

 usually grows on white oak slopes, sometimes with beech, along streams. 

 It is rather frequent in the lake area becoming less frequent southward 

 and our map shows a large, open area in the southwestern part of the 

 state. The flowers are usually yellowish, but plants with reddish flowers 

 are not rare.

2. Pedicularis lanceolata Michx. Swamp Woodbetony. Map 1873. 

 This species is somewhat frequent in the lake area, becoming very local 

 south of it. It is found in marshes, springy places in general, and ditches.

Leaves compound; anther-bearing stamens 4; our species vines. 



Leaves with a tendril; leaflets 2, margins entire; flowers about 5 cm long; pods flat. . .

1. Bignonia capreolata L. (Anisostichns capreolata (L.) Bureau.) 

 Crossvine. Map 1874. This vine climbs trees to a height of 60 feet, and 

 prefers full sunlight. It is recommended for ornamental planting because 

 of its large and highly colored, though ill-scented, flowers which appear 

 the last of May. It grows on wooded slopes and alluvial bottoms along 

 streams. Without doubt Thompson's record from Carroll County either 

 should be referred to the next species or considered a cultivated specimen. 



Miss Edna Banta informs me that this species grows along the Ohio 

 River in Jefferson County, 2 miles east of Madison. We have had it in 

 cultivation for 9 years and in that time it has climbed a walnut tree to a 

 height of 35 feet.

7714. CAMPSIS Lour. Trumpet-creeper 

 1. Campsis radicans (L.) Seemann. (Tecoma radicans (L.) Juss. and 

 Bignonia radicans L.) TRUMPET-CREEPER. Map 1875. A vine trailing or 

 climbing to a length of 40 feet. It is infrequent in woodland except in a 

 few of the Lower Wabash Valley counties where it may be more or less 

 frequent. It is rare to infrequent in all of northern Indiana. This species, 

 however, produces an abundance of seed which grow easily when they 

 come in contact with exposed soil, and it has become one of the most 

 despised plants in the Lower Wabash Bottoms where it is known as shoe-
