Excluded Species 1057 



the range of this species is north of our area, I am referring all reports 

 of it to Grossularia hirteUa. 



Newf., Hudson Bay to B. C, southw. to n. Mich, and N. C. 



294. Grossularia reclinata (L.) Mill. (Ribes Grossularia L. of Gray, 

 Man., ed. 7.) European or Garden Gooseberry. I found a large colony 

 of this species in a wooded ravine in the "knobs" near Brownstown, Jack- 

 son County. This is the only record so it can not be regarded as established. 



Nat. of Eu. ; along roadsides in e. N. J. and se. N. Y. 



295. Grossularia rotundifolia (Michx.) Cov. & Britt. (Ribes rotund i- 

 folium Michx. of Gray, Man., ed. 7.) Roundleaf Gooseberry. Reported 

 from Clark and Jefferson Counties. Coulter, in his Catalogue of the 

 Plants of Indiana, says : "All of the specimens labeled Ribes rotundifolium 

 that have come to my notice are to be referred to Ribes gracile" which is 

 now known as Grossularia missouriensis. A specimen labeled Grossularia 

 rotundifolia collected by A. H. Young in Tippecanoe County is in the 

 herbarium of Indiana University and proves to be Grossularia missourien- 

 sis. Since the range of the species reported is far from our area, it is best 

 to exclude it. 



Rocky woods, mostly in the mts. from Mass. to N. C. 



296. Grossularia setosa (Lindl.) Cov. & Britt. (Ribes setosum Lindl.) 

 Bristly Gooseberry. This species was reported by Wolcott & Montgomery 

 as found in the Mineral Springs bog in Porter County. I have not seen the 

 specimen and since the range of the species is west of our area, without 

 doubt the determination is incorrect, and it is excluded. 



Berger gives the distribution as "Cent. Western North America." 



297. Spiraea japonica L. f. Japanese Spirea. I found this species in 

 1919 as a frequent shrub on the wooded bluff of the Ohio River about 6 

 miles east of Cannelton, Perry County. In 1923 I found several colonies in 

 a deep, wooded ravine near Dodd Post Office which is about a mile farther 

 up the river. It is well established in this vicinity where it seemed per- 

 fectly hardy. I transplanted some of it to our home in Bluffton where it 

 has been growing vigorously ever since. Since the species is not extensively 

 planted, it may not become a common escape. 



Nat. of Japan ; Conn, to Pa. 



298. Spiraea latifolia (Ait.) Borkh. Pink Meadow Spirea. This 

 species was reported from White County by Heimlich. He questioned the 

 identification and believed it belonged to Spiraea alba, to which it no doubt 

 did belong. Other reports should be referred to the same species. 



Newf. to Sask., southw. to Va. and w. Pa. ; the common spirea of N. E. 

 and the Coastal Plain. 



299. Spiraea tomentosa var. rosea (Raf.) Fern. This variety, instead 

 of the species, was reported from the Dune Region by Peattie. I have seen 

 his specimen, which is in the herbarium of the Field Museum, and it is the 

 common form of the species in Indiana.
