1038 Excluded Species 



159. Goodyera repens R. Br. This species was reported from Steuben 

 County by Bradner. Since he did not report Goodyera pubescens which 

 occurs in the county and since the species he reported belongs to Europe 

 and to the Rocky Mountains of the far northwest, Bradner doubtless erred 

 in his determination. 



160. Malaxis brachypoda (Gray) Fern. (Malaxis monophyllos (L.) 

 Lindl. of Gray, Man., ed. 7 and of Britton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) 

 Reported from Porter County by Pepoon, who says: "A few plants in a 

 cold tamarack swamp near Dune Park in the vicinity of the Lake Shore 

 and Michigan Southern Railroad. (Clarke) ". It was reported from Carroll 

 County by Thompson but there is no specimen. Coulter reported it from 

 Floyd County for Clapp. I have a list of plants collected by Clapp but this 

 species is not in it. In the absence of verifying specimens I believe I am 

 justified in excluding this northern orchid, although our area is included 

 in the range of the species by Ames. 



Newf., Que. to Man., southw. to Pa., Mich., Minn., Tex., and Calif.; 

 also in Eu. and Asia. 



161. Salix alba var. coerulea (Smith) Koch. Cricketbat Willow. 

 This form of the white willow has been reported from Jefferson and 

 Putnam Counties. These are old reports and specimens may have been 

 taken from cultivated trees. At least there is not sufficient evidence to 

 warrant admission to our flora. 



162. Salix babylonica L. Babylon Weeping Willow. This species 

 has been reported from 4 counties. Most of these reports are early reports 

 and may have been from cultivated trees. The evidence is not sufficient 

 to admit it to our flora. 



Nat. of China and introd. into cultivation about 1730. 



163. Salix exigua Nutt. This species was reported from St. Joseph 

 County but, no doubt, this report should be referred to a narrowieaf 

 form of Salix interior. Salix exigua is much like a narrowieaf Salix longi- 

 folia and replaces it in the west. 



W. Mont, to B. C, southw. to Colo., N. Mex., and Calif. 



164. Salix longifolia var. argyrophylla Anders. This was reported from 

 White County. The variety is no longer recognized and should be dropped. 



165. Salix missouriensis Bebb. Reported from White County by 

 Heimlich, but C. R. Ball disposes of this report by referring it to some other 

 species. See Deam's "Shrubs of Indiana," p. 357. 1932. 



Ky. to Mo., Iowa, and Nebr. 



166. Salix pentandra L. Laurel Willow. Reported from Porter and 

 St. Joseph Counties as a possible escape. 



Nat. of Eu. and escaped in e. U. S. 



167. Salix purpurea L. Purple Willow. This species has been re- 

 ported from some counties by early authors. No doubt all reports were 

 based upon plants in cultivation because those authors did not distinguish 

 between escaped plants and plants persisting after cultivation.
