Excluded Species 1033 



men which I found in my strawberry patch and it was, no doubt, in- 

 troduced with some plants which 1 received from the west. 



Anderson and Woodson (Contr. Arnold Arb. 9: 86. 1935) cite a speci- 

 men from Indiana collected by Mason, April, 1877, near French Lick 

 Springs, Orange County, and now deposited in the herbarium of the Field 

 Museum. I have seen this specimen and it is, beyond a doubt, Trades- 

 cantia virginiana as originally labeled. The lower surface of the bracts is 

 densely short-pubescent all over, which is a character of Tradescantia 

 virginiana. Someone with the signature of G. D. has written above the 

 label, "Tradescantia bracteata Small." This specimen does not bear the 

 verification label of Anderson & Woodson as do all the specimens which 

 passed through their hands. Nor does the specimen show any mark that 

 such a label was ever attached. 



The Indiana record for this species based upon this specimen is dis- 

 tinctly an error.

127. Tradescantia brevicaulis Raf. There are four reports for this 

 species and doubtless all of them should be referred to Tradescantia vir- 

 giniana. The characters used in our manuals are not usually sufficient to 

 separate this species from Tradescantia virginiana, hence the error of 

 authors. A specimen collected in Tippecanoe County by Grimes and labeled 

 Tradescantia brevicaulis is in the herbarium of DePauw University and 

 proves to be Tradescantia virginiana.

128. Juncus coriaceus Mack. See no. 1, page 302.

131. Juncus debilis Gray. See no. 4, page 302. 



132. Uvularia perfoliata L. Wood Merrybells. This species has 

 been reported by 15 authors, most of whom also reported Uvularia grandi- 

 flora. It is now known that this species does not occur west of the 

 Allegheny Mountains. Hence all of our reports should be transferred to 

 Uvularia grandiflora.

133. Hemerocallis flava L. (Stout. The Lemon Daylily (Hemerocal- 

 lis flava L.) : its origin and status. Jour. New York Bot. Gard. 36: 61-68. 

 1935.) Lemon Daylily. This plant has been reported only from the 

 Lower Wabash Valley by Schneck. He writes: "Sparingly escaped from 

 gardens." It so rarely escapes that our manuals give it no range in the 

 United States.

134. Allium Schoenoprasum var. sibiricum (L.) Hartm. (Allium 

 sibiricum L. of Britton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) This variety is 

 native to the area north of Indiana and was reported from Porter County
