1034 Excluded Species 



by Lyon who says : "Not far from an abandoned house." Peattie reported 

 this plant as A. sibiricum saying that it occurred as a weed in Lake County. 

 I have seen the Lyon specimen and it belongs to A. Schoenoprasum, the 

 common garden chives. I believe the Peattie report should also be re- 

 ferred to the species. The variety has not been reported south of the 

 Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Since the garden chives multiplies so 

 rapidly that it must be divided and some of it discarded, it seems odd 

 that it has not been reported more often than it has been. 



Newf. to Alaska, southw. to N. E. and the Great Lakes region. 



135. Allium Scorodoprasum L. This species was reported by Welch 

 from Jasper County. Her specimen was determined by J. M. Greenman. 

 I have seen the specimen and the determination seems to be correct. Since 

 this is the only report, I am excluding it until there is another which 

 makes it definite that it is established.

136. Allium stellatum Ker. Standley (Rhodora34: 174. 1932) found 

 a large colony of this species on a railroad embankment between McCool 

 and Porter, Porter County. Since it is established in a place where it is 

 likely to be destroyed, I believe we should wait until there is a report of it 

 where it has a chance to persist and become permanent. Standley says: 

 "Doubtless an introduction".

137. Lilium Catesbaei Walt. Prince Maximilian writes in the original 

 Coblentz edition of his travels, published in 1839-41, on his trip from 

 Owensville, Gibson County to Vincennes on June 10, 1834, as follows: 

 "The region on the other side [north side of White River, which he 

 crossed in the vicinity of what is now known as Hazelton] changes con- 

 siderable; and here appears in a now again sandy soil nearly the same 

 plants as are found in the sandy soil and the prairies of St. Louis, with the 

 addition of a few new ones, a fire-colored lily (Lilium catesbaei), the great- 

 flowered lady slipper (Cypripedium spectabile), a species of Yucca, and 

 many others". 



This species flowers much later than the date given above and doubt- 

 less this report should be referred to Lilium philadelphicum or its variety 

 andinum. Small gives the distribution of this species as follows : 



Pinelands and acid swamps, Coastal Plain from N. C. to Fla. and La. 



138. Lilium philadelphicum L. Orangecup Lily. This species has 

 been reported from various parts of Indiana but all the specimens I have 

 seen belong to the variety. A recent study of its distribution has not been 

 made. 



139. Smilacina trifolia (L.) Desf. Pepoon reported this species from 

 Lake County for Moffatt, who collected it at Clarke and Pine, and for 

 Babcock, who collected it at Berry Lake, Gibson, and Pine. It possibly 

 did occur about Lake Michigan and may now be extinct. Butters, how- 

 ever, in his studies of Maianthemum (Minn. Studies in Plant Science 5:
