1066 Excluded Species 



390. Trifolium stoloniferum Muhl. Higley & Raddin reported this 

 species as found along the railroad near Indiana Harbor. Coulter reports 

 it from Marion County on the authority of Copeland but no data are given. 

 In the absence of a verifying specimen the species is excluded from Indiana. 



Ohio to Iowa, south w. to Tenn., Mo., and Kans. 



391. Hosackia Americana (Nutt.) Piper. This species was found by 

 Fred Donaghy "in an old fallow field bordering the Pennsylvania Railroad 

 a mile or so east of Brazil on August 22, 1934." This is our first report 

 and further observation is required to ascertain whether it has become a 

 member of our flora. In 1935 I found a few specimens in a sand pit along 

 a railroad in Porter County. 



Dry soil, Minn, to N. Dak., Idaho, Mo., Ark., Tex., N. Mex., and 

 Sonora, Mex. 



392. Amorpha nana Nutt. Through some error this species was re- 

 ported from a gravelly slope on the east side of Winona Lake in Kosciusko 

 County. I have collected and studied specimens from this slope and this 

 colony belongs to Amorpha canescens Nutt. 



Iowa to Sask., southw. to Kans. and N. Mex. 



393. Wisteria frutescens (L.) Poir. (Krauhnia frutescens (L.) 

 Small of Britton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) This species was reported 

 from the Lower Wabash Valley by Schneck; Jay County by Phinney who 

 says: "Scarce"; Kosciusko County by Coulter; and White County by 

 Heimlich. The reports from northern Indiana may be escapes while those 

 of the Lower Wabash Valley may be native. Heimlich wrote me that it was 

 abundant in White County near Norway and Buffalo along the Tippecanoe 

 River and also east of Monon. I have searched the Tippecanoe River for 

 it at the places named and I also went along Monon Creek east of Monon 

 for more than a mile but I failed to find it. 



Unless a specimen is found, this species will be regarded as extinct, or 

 the report assumed to have been based upon an escape or a wrongly deter- 

 mined plant. It is to be noted that the manuals of the time when the reports 

 were made, except that of Heimlich, did not recognize Wisteria macros- 

 tachya, to which species, no doubt, the Lower Wabash Valley reports should 

 be referred. 



Coastal Plain from Va. to Fla. and Ala. 



394. Robinia hispida L. Rose Acacia. This species was reported 

 (Amer. Bot. 40: 81. 1934) as persisting on the site of an abandoned habi- 

 tation east of Gary, Lake County. I have been told, also, that it was 

 growing in Scott County, northeast of Scottsburg in the yard of an aban- 

 doned home, where it was well established. There is a large, dense colony 

 near the base of a wooded dune a short distance north of t*he Baltimore & 

 Ohio Railroad about 8 miles west of Chesterton, Porter County. Madge 

 McKee reports a rank thicket of it along the roadside in sec. 32 of Mc- 

 Clellan Township, Newton County. In 1937 I noted a colony a hundred
