Excluded Species 1055 



will persist in flower beds. Indiana is given in the natural range of the 

 species and although I have searched carefully for it in its habitat along 

 the Ohio River, I have failed to find it. I have not been able to find an 

 herbarium specimen from Indiana, so I am excluding it. 

 Va., Ky., Mo., and Kans., southw. to Ga. and Tex. 



281. Sedum Telephium var. purpurem L. Liveforever. This species 

 has been reported as an escape from several parts of the state. It has es- 

 caped from dwellings and cemeteries. 



Nat. of Eu. and w. Asia ; Que. to Ont. and Mich., southw. to Md. and Ind. 



282. Astilbe biternata (Vent.) Britton. Astilbe. This species was 

 reported by Young in a flora of Jefferson County but he did not report 

 Aruncus dioicus, which very much resembles this species. J. M. Coulter 

 and C. R. Barnes later published floras of the same county and reported 

 Aruncus dioicus but did not report Astilbe biternata. Since Astilbe is 

 found in the area to the southeast of Indiana and Aruncus dioicus is fre- 

 quent in Jefferson County, where Young did the most of his collecting, it is 

 almost certain that he confused the two plants. 



Mts. of Va. to N. C, Ga., and Tenn. 



283. Tiarella cordifolia L. Allegheny Foamflower. Reported from 

 the area of Delaware, Jay, Randolph, and Wayne Counties by Phinney, who 

 says: "Common in rich woods." Also reported from St. Joseph County, 

 upon the authority of Rothert, by Nieuwland who adds : "I have nowhere 

 found it within the region." While Indiana is within the possible range of 

 the species, I believe that it has been confused with some form of 

 Heuchera. 



N. E., Ont. to Minn., southw., especially in the mts., to Ga. and Ark. 



284. Heuchera villosa Michx. This species was reported from Clark 

 County by Baird & Taylor and was also reported in Coulter's Catalogue 

 upon the authority of Barnes. Since the typical form of the species as now 

 understood occurs in the southern Appalachian Mountains, these records 

 must be referred to some other species. 



285. Mitella NUDA L. Higley & Raddin report this species from Lake 

 County as growing in "moist rich woods east of Berry Lake in 1884 and 

 at Miller in 1886." Pepoon reported it as common in Mineral Springs bog 

 in Porter County. Buhl, in his Supplement to Pepoon's "Flora of the Chi- 

 cago Region" (Bull. Chicago Acad. Sci. 5: 10. 1934) refers this report to 

 Mitella diphylla. 



Lab. to Alaska, southw. to Conn., Pa., Mich., Minn., and Mont. 



286. Philadelphus coronarius L. Sweet Mockorange. Reported by 

 Nieuwland as an escape at Notre Dame. Since this species is universally 

 planted throughout the state and this is the only report, its escape at Notre 

 Dame may, for the present, be regarded as exceptional. 



Nat. of cent. Eu. ; escaped from gardens in Va. and Ohio, and sparingly 

 in the Middle and Eastern States.
