8518. SYMPHORICARPOS [Dill.] Ludwig Snowberry 



Style bearded; fruit coral red 1. S. orbiculatus. 



Style glabrous ; fruit white 2. S. rivularis. 



1. Symphoricarpos orbiculatus Moench. (Symphoiicarpos Symphori- 

 carpos (L.) MacM.) Coralberry. Map 1949. In Indiana generally 

 called buckbush. It is native, probably only in the southern half of the 

 state although it is now found as an escape in the northern part. Since it is 

 freely planted and produces an abundance of fruit, it is strange that it does 

 not escape more often than it has.

la. Symphoricarpos orbiculatus f. leucocarpus (D.M. Andrews) Rehd. 

 (Jour. Arnold Arb. 21 : 277. 1940.) This form was reported to me in 1937 

 by Harold W. Reynolds as scattered on the border of the grounds about 

 the old Reid schoolhouse, on the Thomas Brewer farm, eleven and a half 

 miles north of Salem, Washington County. Mr. Reynolds reports he has 

 known the colony about 25 years and that his sister had known of it for 

 about 40 years. 



2. Symphoricarpos rivularis Suksdorf. (Symphoricarpos racemosus 

 var. laevigatus Fern. Garden Snowberry. This species is commonly 

 planted as an ornamental shrub and has been reported as an escape in 

 Franklin, Jefferson, and Steuben Counties and in the Lower Wabash 

 Valley. I have found it twice as an escape.

8520. LINNAEA [Gronov.] L. 



1. Linnaea borealis L. var. americana (Forbes) Rehd. (Linnaea ameri- 

 cana Forbes.) Twinflower. Map 1950. This plant grows in bogs and 

 rarely on dry land. I found a single small colony in very sandy soil, grow- 

 ing in a patch of Gaylussacia baccata on a north slope, wooded with black
