Aster vimineus Lam. 



Indiana Harbor, becoming rare in Porter County. It was reported in 

 Coulter's Catalogue on the authority of Conner & Laben, as occurring in 

 Happy Hollow near Lafayette, in Tippecanoe County. I doubt this de- 

 termination and, in the absence of a specimen, it is best to restrict its dis- 

 tribution in Indiana to the dune area. 



Mass., Ont. to Sask., southw. to Ind., Mo., and Colo. 



29. Aster lateriflorus (L.) Britt. (Rhodora 30: 172-173. 1928.) 

 White Woodland Aster. Map 2065. This species is our common wood- 

 land aster. It is found in both dry and moist places, usually preferring 

 white oak woodland. 



P. E. I., N. S., Que., southw. to Conn., Pa., and Ind., and in the mts. to 

 N. C. 



29a. Aster lateriflorus var. angustifolius Wieg. (Rhodora 30: 174. 

 1928.) Map 2066. This is a narrowleaf form of the species and, like it, 

 prefers the woodland, although both of them are sometimes found in the 

 open, mostly along roadsides. 



Western N. E., Ont. to Wis., southw. to N. Y. and Ind. 



30. Aster dumosus L. (Rhodora 30: 165. 1928.) Map 2067. Infre- 

 quent or probably rare in the lake area of the state, where it occurs in 

 moist, very sandy soil. 



Maine and along the coast to N. J. and westw. to Ind. and probably in 

 the mts. to N. C. 



30a. Aster dumosus var. strictior T. & G. I have this variety from 

 Allen and Jasper Counties and it has been reported from Porter County 

 on the authority of Umbach. My four specimens are from moist, very 

 sandy soil. 



Western N. Y. and w. Ont. to Mich, and 111. 



31. Aster vimineus Lam. (Rhodora 30: 168. 1928.) Small White 

 Aster. Map 2068. All of my specimens are from the southern part of the 

 state, where they are usually found in a hard, white, moist, slightly acid.
