 honeysuckle. Map 1956. This shrub grows in very sandy soil about Lake 

 Michigan where it is more or less frequent. South of the lake it becomes 

 very rare. In Fountain and Montgomery Counties a few specimens were 

 found on the crests of wooded sandstone ridges. In slightly acid soil this 

 species does well in cultivation.

1. Valerianella olitoria (L.) Poll. Cornsalad. This species was 

 reported more than 60 years ago as a garden escape in Jefferson County 

 by Barnes and by Young. There are two specimens in the herbarium of 

 Wabash College which were collected by J. M. Coulter in 1877. In 1936 it 

 was discovered by Miss Edna Banta in the Big Creek Bottoms about a mile 

 west of Volga, Jefferson County. The plant is said to be cultivated for 

 salad, although I have never seen it in cultivation.
