 some of our roadside plants are escapes.

8818. MIKANIA Willd. 



1. Mikania scandens (L.) Willd. May 1992. Common in low ground 

 along the Kankakee River at the Baum Bridge, south of Kouts, in Porter 

 County. Here in 1915 it was common especially along the old channel of 

 the river where it was found climbing usually on buttonbush or on tall 

 weeds. Blatchley reported that it was abundant about 50 feet south of the 

 bridge over Sandy Hook Creek about 5 miles east of Hebron, in Porter 

 County. It was reported by Schneck from the Lower Wabash bottoms, 

 and Coulter's Catalogue reports it from Putnam and Tippecanoe Counties 

 on the authority of MacDougal and Wright, respectively. It is, no doubt, 

 very local.
