Excluded Species 1049 



America only from Newfoundland. These reports from Indiana are un- 

 doubtedly due to an error but I am not able to determine what species these 

 authors had. 



240. Ranunculus Macounii Britt. This species was reported in Coul- 

 ter's Catalogue for Blatchley from Monroe County. Coulter says the speci- 

 men is in the herbarium of DePauw University, but in an examination of 

 that herbarium in 1935 I was not able to find a specimen so labeled. 



Ont. to Iowa and B. C, southw. to N. Mex. and Utah. 



241. Ranunculus Purshii Richards. Pursh Buttercup. This species 

 has been reported from five counties but I believe all of the reports should 

 be referred to the terrestrial form of R. flabellaris. It was reported from 

 Marshall County by Clark, and his specimen is in the National Herbarium. 

 I asked S. F. Blake to examine it in 1933 and he reports that it belongs 

 to R. flabellaris Raf. 



N. S., Ont. to Colo., Oreg., and Alaska. 



242. Ranunculus repens L. This species was reported in 1878 by 

 Baird & Taylor from Clark County, in 1871 by Young from Jefferson 

 County, in 1875 by Coulter from Jefferson County, and in 1878 by Barnes 

 from Jefferson County. Since the range of the species is from Arctic 

 America southward to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, and in 

 the Rocky Mountains to Colorado, and since these reports were made 

 before our manuals recognized the variety vittosa, they doubtless should be 

 referred to the variety. 



243. Thalictrum polygamum Muhl. This species has been reported 

 from all parts of the state. The reports should be referred to other species 

 since this species, as now understood, has a range east of Indiana. 



244. Adonis autumnalis L. Pheasanteye. This species was re- 

 ported in 1876 from the Lower Wabash Valley by Schneck. He says: 

 "Escaping from gardens to fields and roadsides". Since there are no addi- 

 tional reports, it should not yet be recognized as a member of our flora. 



Fugitive from Eu. 



245. Calycanthus fertilis Walt. Smooth Sweetshrub. This shrub 

 was reported without any data in 1878 by Baird & Taylor in a list of 

 plants of Clark County. This may have been a garden escape and since 

 there are no other records and Indiana is outside the range of the species, 

 it is excluded. 



Pa. to N. C, e. Tenn., Ga., and Ala. 



246. Calycanthus floridus L. Common Sweetshrub. Reported in 

 1878 from Clark and Jefferson Counties but excluded for the same reasons 

 as is the preceding species. 



Va. and N. C. to Fla., Ala., and Miss. 



247. Benzoin MELISSIFOLIUM (Walt.) Nees. This shrub was reported 

 from the Lower Wabash Valley by Ridgway. He expresses doubt as to
