1036 Excluded Species 



146. Zephyranthes Atamasco (L.) Herbert. (Atamasco Atamasco (L.) 

 Greene of Britton and Brown, lllus. Flora, ed. 2.) Atamasco-lily. 

 M'Murtrie, in his "Sketches of Louisville", in a list of the plants of the 

 vicinity of Louisville, published in 1819, lists this species as being found 

 in Indiana. Riddell, in his "Flora of the Western States", published in 

 1835, on page 87, repeats this record. While the known range of this 

 species is south of Indiana, there is a large area where its habitat occurs 

 north of Jeffersonville in Indiana and I have no doubt that it was found 

 there when primitive conditions existed. No one has thoroughly botanized 

 this area in recent years and it is barely possible that it may yet be found.

147. Narcissus poeticus L. Poets Narcissus. Reported from Monroe 

 County by Andrews without any data. This species has been freely 

 planted about habitations and will persist for a long time but there is 

 no evidence that it has become established. 



Nat. of Eu. 



148. Narcissus Pseudo-Narcissus L. Common Daffodil. This species 

 was also reported from Monroe County by Andrews without any data. 

 Like the preceding species it has been freely planted and may be seen 

 persisting about old habitations that have been abandoned but there is no 

 evidence that it has become established. 



Nat. of Eu. 



149. Iris hexagona Walt. This species was reported from the vicinity 

 of New Albany by J. M. Coulter for Clapp (Bot. Cxaz. 1: 9. 1876). As 

 now known, this is a Coastal Plain species and no doubt this record should 

 be referred to Iris brevicaulis. 



150. Iris pseudacorus L. This iris was reported from Jasper County 

 by Welch. It has been used for ornamental planting since pioneer times 

 and it may be seen persisting in gardens and elsewhere about old habita- 

 tions. Miss Welch reports that it has escaped to a wet place along 

 Carpenter Creek in Fountain Park which was established in 1895. Since 

 this is our only report and its spread is not likely, I believe it is best to 

 await additional reports before we give it a place in our flora. 



Nat. of Eu. 



151. Sisyrinchium apiculatum Bickn. Reported by Nieuwland from 

 St. Joseph County. This species is not regarded as distinct by most 

 authors and I agree with them and refer this report to Sisyrinchium 

 atlanticum. It seems to be a smaller plant with an apiculate capsule. The 

 species of this genus vary greatly in size and in various parts, especially 

 in the shape and pubescence of the capsule. The habitat and precipitation, 

 no doubt, have a very marked influence especially on the vegetative parts. 



Muskegon County, Mich. 



152. Sisyrinchium apiculatum var. mesochorum Nieuwl. (Amer. Mid- 

 land Nat. 3: 116. 1913.) This form I am also referring to Sisyrinchium 

 atlanticum Bicknell.
