Excluded Species 1039 



168. Salix viminalis L. Common Osier. This willow has been re- 

 ported from 4 counties. All are early reports and most of them may have 

 been shrubs under cultivation. 



Nat of Eurasia. 



169. Carya aquatica Nutt. Water Hickory. There are three reports 

 from the state, but those from Fountain and Parke Counties may be 

 safely ignored. Prince Maximilian reported finding it during his sojourn 

 in the vicinity of New Harmony and I believe it did occur in the cypress 

 swamp in Point Township of Posey County. The habitat is there and it 

 has been found just west in Gallatin County, Illinois. I found an old nut 

 which I believe belongs to this species, but I am not sure of its identity, 

 although it was found in the cypress swamp which is its likely habitat. 

 At present, the swamp has been heavily cut over, but in due time I believe 

 this species will be found in Indiana. 



Va. to 111., southw. to Fla. and Tex. 



170. Carya Buckleyi var. villosa Sarg. Reported by Pepoon under 

 the name of Carya glabra var. villosa (Sarg.) Rob. as occurring in La 

 Porte County, and Peattie referred to this record. I believe this report 

 should be referred to a form of Carya ovalis with pubescent branchlets. 



S. 111., southw. to Ark. and Okla. 



171. Carya myristicaeformis Nutt. Nutmeg Hickory. This species 

 also was reported by Prince Maximilian from the same area as Carya 

 aquatica. The nut of this species is so easily identified that it is unlikely 

 that an error would be made in its identification. No specimen, however, 

 has yet been found. 



Ark. and Mex. 



172. Corylus cornuta Marsh. {Corylus rostrata Ait.) Beaked Hazel- 

 nut. This species was reported by David Thomas in a list of plants found 

 in the vicinity of Vincennes in 1818. There are no other reports and I 

 believe that a mistake was made in the identification. 



Que. to Sask., southw. to Mo. and Ga. 



173. Betula LENTA L. Sweet BlRCH. This species has been reported 

 from Fulton, Gibson, Lake, Miami, Noble, Porter, Posey, St. Joseph, and 

 Steuben Counties. All of these reports should be referred to some other 

 species. Buhl (Amer. Midland Nat. 16: 251. 1935) refers the Lake and 

 Porter County specimens to B. lutea. 



The range of this species as now understood is s. Maine, nw. Vt., e. Ohio, 

 e. Ky., and Tenn., n. Del., and in the mts. to Ga. and Ala. 



174. X Betula Sandbergii Britt. of Deam's "Shrubs of Indiana," ed. 1. I 

 now refer the report of this hybrid to X Betula Purpusii Schneider. 



175. Alnus glutinosa Gaertn. (Alnus vulgaris Hill of Gray, Man., ed. 

 7 and Alnus Alnus (L.) Britt. of Britton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) 

 This was reported by Nieuwland from St. Joseph County. He says : "Culti- 

 vated. Probably spreading from the roots of a cultivated specimen." 



Nat. of Eu.
