Antennaria fa I lax Greene 



All of the species usually grow in poor ground where there is little com- 

 petition with other plants and when once the plant becomes established, 

 it soon forms a complete mat because of its stoloniferous habit of growth 

 and because it is not eaten by grazing animals. It is sometimes called 

 everlasting which is a very appropriate name for it because when it 

 becomes established it is everlasting, and also because the leaves of 

 the rosette remain green during the winter.

2. Antennaria neodioica Greene. Pussytoes. Map 2079. In dry clay 

 or sandy soil in open places in woodland and pastures and along roadsides. 

 This species is more northern than the preceding one and is restricted 

 mostly to the northern part of the state. I have not seen any staminate 

 plants. 



Newf. and N. S. to Wis., southw. to Va., Ont., and n. Ind. 



3. Antennaria solitaria Rybd. Single-head Pussytoes. Map 2080. 

 Infrequent to rare on the crests or slopes of chestnut oak ridges of a few 

 of the southern counties. Staminate plants rather rare. 



Pa. to s. Ind., southw. to Ga. and La. 



4. Antennaria Parlinii Fern. Parlin Pussytoes. Map 2081. Rather 

 frequent throughout the state in dry, clay or sandy soil in open places in 

 woodland, on the tops of high, wooded banks of streams, on roadside knolls, 

 and in pastures. Staminate plants as frequent as the pistillate ones. 



Antennaria Parlinii var. arnoglossa (Greene) Fern, is a more glabrous 

 form of the species which I reported from Vermillion County. I now in- 

 clude this form with the species. 



N. S. to Ont. and Iowa, southw. to Va., Ohio, 111., and in the mts. to Ga. 



5. Antennaria plantaginifolia (L.) Richards. Plantain-leaf Pussy- 

 toes. Map 2082. In dry soil on wooded slopes. I believe this species is 

 rare in Indiana and that it is often confused with the next species. 



Maine to Minn., southw. to Va., Tenn., Mo., and in the mts. to Ga.
