1. Solidago squamosa Muhl. Map 2002. In Indiana this goldenrod is 

 known from only Clark and Floyd Counties. It is frequent in the Clark 

 County State Forest about 3 miles northwest of Henryville on the south 

 side of a deep hollow just north of the fire tower. This wooded hollow is 

 probably 150 feet deep and the goldenrod is found here and there from the 

 top to the bottom of the slope facing north. At the top of the slope it is 

 associated with Pinus virginiana, Quercus montana, Quercus velutina, and 

 Vaccinium. There is a specimen in the herbarium of Purdue University 

 collected by A. Clapp in 183? in the "barrens" (probably in Floyd County).

2. Solidago Buckleyi T. & G. (Flora of North America 2: 198. 1841- 

 1843.) Map 2003. In 1935 I found a colony of this species about 3 feet in 

 diameter in hard, white clay soil in a low, flat oak woods about three fourths 

 of a mile southeast of the Spencer school house or about 8 miles southwest 

 of Mt. Vernon, Posey County. I transplanted some of it at Bluffton where 

 it has proved to be hardy and grows vigorously, flowering in October.

3. Solidago bicolor L. White Goldenrod. Map 2004. I am following 

 other authors in maintaining this goldenrod and the next as species al- 

 though I do not believe they are of specific rank. I believe this species is 

 only an albino form of Solidago hispida. I prefer to regard it as a 

 fertile strain of S. hispida that has lost its power to produce yellow rays. 

 I think this assumption is supported by the fact that there is a general 

 reduction of the number of rays in the colorless forms. I have tried to 

 separate this plant from the next one and I find that all characters used by 

 other authors fail. 



Outside of Jefferson County S. bicolor is restricted chiefly to the un- 

 glaciated area of the state and is only rarely found a few miles outside
