1062 Excluded Species 



357. Rubus laciniatus Willd. This species was found August 4, 1935 

 by Scott McCoy in a sterile, fallow field near the Bird Sanctuary at Lake 

 Maxinkuckee, Marshall County. 



Origin unknown but it was known before 1770. It is sometimes culti- 

 vated and often escapes. 



358. Rubus pergratus Blanchard. This species was reported from 

 Putnam County for Grimes in Proc. Indiana Acad. Sci. 1923:142. 1924, 

 and from White County by Heimlich in Proc. Indiana Acad. Sci. 1922 :286. 

 1923. I have not seen these specimens and since Bailey in his discussion of 

 the species (Gentes Herbarum 2: 399. 1932 and 2: 44. 1932) is not con- 

 vinced that this species is entirely distinct from its related species or that 

 it occurs in our area, I prefer to omit it until its status is more definite. 



359. Rubus procumbens Muhl. This species has been reported from 

 several counties by several authors. Bailey refers this species to Rubus 

 flagellaHs Willd. 



360. Rubus RECURVANS Blanchard. I reported this species (Proc. In- 

 diana Acad. Sci. 1915: 137. 1916) from Elkhart, Lagrange, and Whitley 

 Counties. Bailey now refers these reports to Rubus abactus Bailey. 



361. Rubus trivialis Michx. Reported from Parke County by Esten 

 (Butler Univ. Bot. Stud. 2: 192. 1932). Since the range of this species is 

 far to the south of Indiana I refer this report to some other species. 



362. Rubus villosus Ait. Reported by many of the early authors and 

 some of the later authors. This species has had several interpretations 

 placed upon it in the history of the study of the genus so it is useless to 

 try to identify these reports from published records. 



363. Rubus villosus var. humifusus T. & G. This variety has been 

 reported mostly by our very early authors when the status of the variety 

 was a complex and it is now impossible to identify the reports from 

 published records without the specimens. 



364. Fragaria vesca f. alba (Ehrh.) Rydb. Found by Mrs. H. E. 

 Bucklin on the Bucklin farm about 6 miles east of Brazil in Clay County. 

 This was an abandoned farm when purchased and Mrs. Bucklin has no 

 positive record of the plant. She sent me a few plants in 1926 and they have 

 multiplied freely until the present time, long after cultivation was with- 

 drawn. Fruit elongate-ovoid with a neck. 



365. Fragaria vesca var. Americana Porter. (Fragaria americana 

 (Porter) Britton of Britton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) American 

 Strawberry. This form has been reported from Putnam County by both 

 Grimes and Wilson. I have seen the Grimes specimen, which is in the 

 herbarium of DePauw University and it is typical Fragaria vesca. The 

 report from Wells County is now referred to the species. 



366. PotentIlla recta var. obscura Koch. Wilson reported a speci- 

 men of Potentilla sulphurea Lam. from Putnam County which may be this
