Excluded Species 1047 



Wood of Britton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) This species has been 

 reported many times from Indiana but it is now believed that it belongs 

 to the Coastal Plain and to the area north of Indiana. 



Newf. to Man., southw. to Fla. and La., and in the interior westw. to 

 Mich. 



229. Nuphar sagittifolia (Walt.) Pursh. (Nymphaea sagittifolia 

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

 species was reported from the deeper ponds of the Lower Wabash Valley 

 upon the authority of Schneck. Miller & Standley say it is probable that the 

 range of the species is restricted to North Carolina and South Carolina, 

 and that all reports of it from outside this area should be referred to some 

 other species. Dr. Schneck was a very careful botanist and I believe he 

 found it. The description of the vegetation of the Lower Wabash Valley 

 left by Robert Ridgway tells us that it contained southern forms that have 

 become extinct. This same area had birds and animals which belong to a 

 zone much farther south and which disappeared at an early date. The 

 plant population of the former cypress swamps and deeper ponds of the 

 Lower Wabash Valley will never be known. 



230. Caltha flabellifolia Pursh. This species was reported by 

 Hansen as found on the farm of John E. Steffe near Warsaw in Kosciusko 

 County. I have revisited the place and I refer the plants I found there to 

 Caltha palustris. They are only an extreme form of that species. 



In mountain springs, s. Pa., n. N. J., and Md. 



231. Helleborus viridis L. Green Hellebore. This species was re- 

 ported from the Lower Wabash Valley (we do not know whether it was on 

 the Indiana or Illinois side) by Schneck, who lived at Mt. Carmel, Illinois. 

 He says: "Found in a fence-row . . .; evidently escaped from a garden 

 nearby". Andrews reported it without any data from Monroe County. 

 Doubtfully established in Indiana. 



Adv. from Eu. 



232. Nigella DAMASCENA L. LOVE-IN-A-MIST. Reported as a garden 

 escape in Jefferson County and in the Lower Wabash Valley. I have no 

 evidence that it is established. 



Introd. from Eurasia. 



233. Aquilegia vulgaris L. European Columbine. There are four 

 reports of this species as a garden escape. The most recent one was made 

 nearly fifty years ago when it was a custom to throw garden rubbish over 

 the fence into an unimproved street where it might remain or at least be 

 raked into a pile nearer the center of the street and be burned, leaving 

 the seeds behind or scattered. I believe all of our reports of garden escapes 

 should be so regarded and not included in our flora. 



Adv. or naturalized from Eu. ; in the e. U. S. 



234. Delphinium carolinianum Walt. (Delphinium azureum Michx.) 

 (Bull. Torrey Bot. Club 65: 28. 1938.) This species was reported by Collins 

 from Dearborn County, by Phinney from Wayne County, by Young from 

 Jefferson County, and by J. M. Coulter in his catalogue of plants of Jeffer-
