1050 Excluded Species 



the correctness of the determination. Since there are no other reports and 

 the range of the species is outside the state, it is excluded. 

 N. C. to s. 111. and Mo., southw. to Fla. and Ala. 



248. Macleya cordata (Willd.) R. Br. (Bocconia cordata Willd.) 

 Plumepoppy. A colony of this species was discovered July 14, 1933, by 

 Charles M. Ek of Kokomo on the high, dry bank of Wildcat Creek about 4 

 miles west of Kokomo. The colony was far from a habitation and grow- 

 ing as if wild. 



China and Japan. 



249. Argemone intermedia Sweet. This species was reported by Pe- 

 poon as found along railroads near Miller. He says : "Evidently a railroad 

 'stray' ". 



Plains of S. Dak. to Wyo., southw. to Tex., and in n. Mex. 



250. Argemone mexicana L. Mexican Poppy. Reported by Nieuw- 

 land in 1914 as found in a clover field near Notre Dame in St. Joseph 

 County. Also reported by Schneck in 1876 as "escaped from flower garden". 

 I found a single specimen in sandy soil along a roadside far removed from 

 a residence in Sullivan County. I do not believe that there is sufficient 

 evidence that this species has become established so I am excluding it. 



Nat. of tropical Amer. ; Mass. to Pa., southw. to Fla. and Tex.; also 

 introduced into Africa, East Indies, and Australia. 



251. Papaver Rhoeas L. Corn Poppy. Reported in 1914 by Nieuw- 

 land as escaped from gardens. 



Nat. of Eu. ; Maine to N. Dak., southw. to Va. and Nebr. 



252. Papaver somniferum L. Opium Poppy. This species has been 

 reported seven times and the authors who comment upon it say that it 

 was spontaneous near dwellings. I do not believe it has become established 

 anywhere and while it may be found as a garden escape, it should not be 

 regarded as a part of our flora. 



Nat. of Mediterranean region. 



253. Corydalis aurea Willd. (Capnoides aureum (Willd.) Kuntze of 

 Britton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) Golden Corydalis. Reported from 

 Floyd, Jefferson, and Cass & Wabash Counties. All but the first were 

 referred to Corydalis flavula in Coulter's Catalogue. I have the books in 

 which Clapp kept a record of the plants that he found and since his 

 records were made before Corydalis flavula was recognized, of course he 

 was forced to name his plant Corydalis aurea. This is a northern species 

 while Corydalis flavula is more southern and is frequent in the southern 

 counties. All of our reports, no doubt, should be referred to Corydalis 

 flavula. 



E. Que. to Alaska, southw. to Vt, Pa., Wis. and Mo. and in the Rocky 

 Mts. to Ariz. 



254. Fumaria officinalis L. Common Fumitory. This species was 

 reported from Franklin, Putnam, and Wayne Counties about 40 years
