Excluded Species 1031 



87. Cyperus microdontus Torr. This species was reported from Car- 

 roll County by Thompson. This report, without doubt, should be referred 

 to some other species. 



Coastal Plain from N. J. to Fla. and Tex. 



88. SciRPUS atrocinctus Fern. This species was reported from Porter 

 County by Pepoon in his "Flora of the Chicago Region." He based his re- 

 port upon a specimen collected by Hill at Dune Park. The report is excluded 

 for want of a confirming specimen. 



Newf. to Hudson Bay and Sask., southw. to Conn., Pa., Mich., and Iowa. 



89. SciRPUS MICROcArpus Presl. This species was reported by Scott 

 from the Leesburg Swamp in Kosciusko County. Since its range is north 

 and west of our area and there is no confirming specimen, the report 

 should be referred to some other species. 



90. SciRPUS ROBUSTUS Pursh. This species was reported by Sr. Mc- 

 Donald in her list of St. Joseph County plants (Amer. Midland Nat. 15: 

 209. 1934), but Sr. Thornton, who made an intensive study of Indiana 

 Scirpus, did not find a specimen. Since this is a plant of the salt marshes 

 of the Atlantic coast, this report no doubt should be referred to Scirpus 

 fluviatilis. 



Mass. to Fla. and Tex. 



91. Eleocharis palustris (L.) R. & S. This species as known by the 

 early authors is now interpreted to be a complex of which Eleocharis 

 Smallii Britt. and Eleocharis calva Torr. are the representatives found in 

 Indiana. All of the reports from Indiana for this species should be re- 

 ferred to one of the two last named species. Eleocharis palustris is a 

 species found north of our area. 



Eurasia; Newf. to B. C, southw. to N. E., n. Mich., N. Dak., and Oreg. 



92. Eleocharis tenuis (Willd.) Schultes. This species as now under- 

 stood has a range along the Atlantic coast from Nova Scotia to South 

 Carolina and westward into West Virginia. It was reported from Dela- 

 ware, Jay, Randolph, and Wayne Counties by Phinney, from Jefferson 

 County by J. M. Coulter, from Kosciusko County by Clark, from Lake 

 County in Peattie's Flora, from Noble County by Van Gorder, and from 

 Vigo County by Blatchley. All of these reports should be referred to the 

 varieties of this species or to other species. 



93. FIMBRISTYLIS AUTUMNALIS (L.) R. & S. (Fimbristylis Frankii 

 Steud. of Gray, Man., ed. 7 and Fimbristylis geminata (Nees) Kunth of 

 Britton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) This species has been reported 

 from 7 counties but I believe all of these reports should be referred to 

 Fimbristylis autumnalis var. mucronulata. I have not seen a specimen. 



Maine to Ont., southw. to Ga., Tenn., and La. 



94. Fimbristylis castanea (Michx.) Vahl. Reported from Lake and 

 Porter Counties by four authors, but all the specimens I have seen are
