Excluded Species 1037 



Known only from the type locality — Webster's Crossing near Notre 

 Dame, Ind. 



153. Sisyrinchium campestre Bickn. This species has been reported 

 by Nieuwland from Porter and St. Joseph Counties, but I refer his speci- 

 mens to Sisy7*inchium albidum. Buhl (Amer. Midland Nat. 16: 251. 1935) 

 says there are no confirming specimens from the dune area. 



Prairies, Wis., N. Dak., southw. to Mo. and N. Mex. 



154. Sisyrinchium mucronatum Bickn. This species was reported from 

 Tippecanoe County by Grimes. I have the specimen or a duplicate of it 

 and it should be referred to Sisyrinchium albidum Raf. There is a speci- 

 men in the herbarium of DePauw University collected by Grimes in 

 Tippecanoe County which proves to be Sisyrinchium albidum. 



Mass. to Mich., southw. to Va. and Pa. 



155. Habenaria blephariglottis (Willd.) Torr. (Blephariglottis ble- 

 phariglottis (Willd.) Rydb. of Britton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) 

 White Fringe-orchid. Reported from Marshall County by Nieuwland 

 for Clark (Amer. Midland Nat. 3:120. 1913). Clark did not report it 

 in his list of the plants of Lake Maxinkuckee, which was published in 1920. 

 It is evident that the information is not consistent and it is advisable to 

 entirely disregard this report. 



Newf. to Ont, Mich., and Ohio, southw. to N. C. and Miss. 



156. Habenaria fimbriata (Dryander) R. Br. in Aiton. (Blephariglot- 

 tis grandi 'flora (Bigel.) Rydb. of Britton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) 

 Large Purple Fringe-orchid. Reported from Clark County by Baird & 

 Taylor. Since this species belongs to the Atlantic coast these authors, 

 doubtless, mistook a large specimen of Habenaria peramoena Gray, which 

 is frequent in the lowlands of that county, for this species. 



Newf., Que., N. E., N. Y., southw. to N. J., W. Va., N. C, and Tenn. 



157. Spiranthes cernua var. ochroleuca (Rydb.) Ames. This variety 

 was reported by Ames in 1905 from Jefferson, Lake, and Steuben Coun- 

 ties. In 1933 it was reported by Price & Welch from Monroe County. 

 Ames (Rhodora 23 :78. 1921) in a critical study of the species and variety 

 says, "There is only one sure guide that I have found satisfactory, namely, 

 polyembryonic seeds for the species and normal seeds for the variety" 

 Later, Ames, in his "Orchids of the United States and Canada," published 

 in 1924, gives the distribution of the variety as N. S„ N. H., and Mass., 

 southw. to N. C. ; Mo. (Palmer) . Since Ames is now restricting the variety 

 to the Coastal Plain, and none of my specimens come within the variety 

 according to Rydberg's original key, I am excluding it. 



158. Spiranthes praecox (Walt.) Wats. This species was reported 

 by Baird & Taylor from Clark County. Since they did not report Spiranthes 

 cernua which is within the area, and since the range of the species which 

 they do report is outside our area, doubtless their report should be re- 

 ferred to Spiranthes cernua. Bradner's report from Steuben County should 

 also be referred to the same species. 



N. J. to Fla., and westw. to Tex.
