1040 Excluded Species 



176. Castanea pumila (L.) Miller. Chinquapin. This species was 

 given a place in our flora in Coulter's Catalogue upon the authority of 

 Sargent, Ridgway, and Schneck. Ridgway, in giving an additional list of 

 the trees of the Lower Wabash Valley, says, "There is some doubt as to 

 No. 16, Castanea pumila, which is given on Prof. Sargent's authority; but 

 there is a possibility of an error having been made from the circumstances 

 that the name "chinquapin" is in that region almost universally applied to 

 the fruit of Quercus Muhlenbergii." The Posey County record was based 

 upon a specimen in Dr. Schneck's herbarium, which proves to have been 

 taken from a cultivated tree near Poseyville. 



177. Quercus Catesbaei Michx. Turkey Oak. Riddell in his "Supple- 

 ment to Plants of Ohio" on p. 25, reports this species on the authority of 

 Clapp as growing on the "knobs" near New Albany. This report, no doubt, 

 should be referred to some other species. 



N. C. to Fla. and La. 



178. Quercus ilicifolia Wang. Bear Oak. Reported from the Lees- 

 burg Swamp by Scott. This, without doubt, should be referred to some 

 other species. 



Maine to Va., westw. to Ohio and Ky. 



179. Quercus nIgra L. Water Oak. This species has been reported by 

 a few authors but the reports should be referred to some other species. 



Del. to Fla., westw. to Ky. and Tex. 



180. Quercus Phellos L. Willow Oak. There have been six reports 

 for this species from Indiana. They should, no doubt, be referred to 

 Quercus imbricaria. 



N. Y. to Fla., westw. to Mo. and Tex. 



181. Quercus texana Buckley. Texas Red Oak. There have been six 

 reports of this oak from Indiana and all of them should be referred to 

 Quercus Shumardii var. Schneckii Sarg. or to some other species. 



Cent, and w. Tex. 



182. Celtis occidentalis L. Reported from all parts of Indiana, but 

 the species as understood by Sargent is not our tree. Indiana is within the 

 range of the species. Sargent has named all of my specimens as belonging 

 to the var. canina, and since he has been recognized as our leading author- 

 ity on trees I have followed him although I do not believe the varieties are 

 valid. 



N. E. to N. Dak., southw. to Va., Mo., and Kans. 



183. Morus alba L. (Nakai. Morus alba and its allies in the herbaria 

 of Linnaeus, Thunberg, and others. Jour. Arnold Arboretum 8: 234-238. 

 1927.) White Mulberry. There are several reports for this species but I 

 believe most of them should be referred to the Russian mulberry which is a 

 rather common escape. This species is no longer planted and I have found 

 it in only Jasper and Jefferson Counties. 



Nat. of Eu.
