1046 Excluded Species 



come a part of our flora. Following the rule that usually a single report 

 for a plant in the state does not make it a part of our flora, I am excluding 

 it for the present. 



Newf. to B. C, southw. to Calif, and Va. It has been found only locally 

 in this extensive area. 



221. Silene Armeria L. Sweet William Catchfly. In 1876, 

 Schneck, in his "Flora of the Lower Wabash Valley," says : "Escaped from 

 gardens". In 1914, Nieuwland reported it from St. Joseph County. Since 

 I have no evidence that it is established, I am excluding it. 



Nat. of Eu. ; spontaneous in waste places and gardens, N. B. and Out. 

 to Mich., southw. to N. J. and Ohio. 



222. Silene CAROLINIANA Walt. This species was reported from Jeffer- 

 son County by Young in 1871. I am of the opinion that this report is cor- 

 rect but in the absence of a specimen I must exclude it. Reported also from 

 Tippecanoe County, but probably a garden escape. 



Maine, cent. N. Y., Pa., Ohio, Ky., southw. to Ga. 



223. Silene chlorantha (Willd.) Ehrh. Deam & Weatherwax found 

 this species in ballast along the Monon Railroad about 2 miles north of 

 Harrodsburg in Monroe County. I also found it in Knox County in rail- 

 road ballast about 4 miles south of Vincennes. I regard this species as a 

 waif. 



Nat. of Eu. 



224. Lychnis chalcedonica L. Maltese Cross. Reported by Peattie 

 as an escape in the Calumet District. A single report of an escape without 

 any data should not admit a species to our flora, therefore I am excluding 

 it. Buhl (Amer. Midland Nat. 16: 251. 1935) says it is only a "non- 

 persistent garden escape," and deletes the report. 



Nat. of Japan ; escaped from cultivation. 



225. Lychnis Coronaria (L.) Desr. Rose Campion. Mullein Pink. 

 In 1914, this species was reported by Nieuwland as persisting after cultiva- 

 tion in St. Joseph County. In 1921, I found a colony about 50 feet long and 

 10 feet wide on the slope of the wooded bank of the St. Joseph River one 

 and a half miles northwest of Bristol. The colony was far removed from 

 any habitation. 



Nat. of Eu. ; locally established from Maine to Mich. ; also in Oreg. and 

 Wash. 



226. Dianthus barbatus L. Sweet William Pink. Reported by 

 Nieuwland as escaped locally about Notre Dame. 



Nat. of Eu. ; as yet regarded by authors as a garden escape. 



227. Dianthus plumArius L. Nieuwland reported this species as an 

 escape near Notre Dame. 



Nat. of Austria to Siberia; not mentioned in our manuals. 



228. Nymphaea odorata Ait. (Castalia odorata (Ait.) Woodville & 

 Wood of Gray, Man., ed. 7 and Castalia odorata (Dryand) Woodville &
