feet long on the border of an old orchard near Culver. This species is 

 widely cultivated and may escape.

595. Astragalus glycyphyllos L. This species was reported in 1926 

 from Fulton County by Hansen. A large colony was found on the farm of 

 Louis Murray in sec. 23, Newcastle Twp. I visited the place in 1934 and 

 found it common over an area of several square rods. I interviewed Mr. 

 Murray who said it had persisted for more than 75 years and had always 

 been known there as "Fits Root." 



Cent. Eu. and w. Asia. 



396. Astragalus plattensis Nutt. Reported in Coulter's Catalogue 

 as a migrant found near Lafayette Junction, Tippecanoe County. 



Minn, to Colo, and Tex. 



397. Astragalus tennesseensis Gray. {Geoprumnon tennesseense 

 (Gray) Rydb. of Britton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) This species was 

 reported from Tippecanoe County by Stuart (Proc. Indiana Acad. Sci. 

 1901: 283. 1902.) He writes: "This plant was collected in sandy bottom 

 land along Wea Creek, about four miles south of Lafayette, and some two 

 hundred yards down stream from the Wabash Railroad bridge. Not very 

 abundant ... in fruit the latter part of May." I have not been able to 

 find it here. 



111., Tenn., and Ala. 



398. Glycyrrhiza lepidota (Nutt.) Pursh. Wild Licorice. A specimen 

 of this species was collected by Edwin D. Hull on July 17, 1934 along the 

 Wabash Railroad near the eastern limit of Lake County. 



Hudson Bay and Minn, to Mo., N. Mex., and westw. ; also as a migrant 



eastw. 



399. Aeschynomene viRginica (L.) BSP. Reported from Lake County 

 without comment by T. H. Ball in a "History of Lake County," p. 167, 1884. 

 Since the range of the species is outside Indiana, I regard this report as an 

 error in determination. 



Coastal Plain from N. J. to Fla. and Tex. 



400. Desmodium glabellum (Michx.) DC. (Meibomia glabella 

 (Michx.) Ktze. of Britton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) Reported from 

 Vigo County by Blatchley as frequent along the canal near Five-mile Pond 

 and along the roadside near Heckland. I have seen no specimens and I have 

 not been able to revisit the stations mentioned. 



Coastal Plain from Mass. to Ala. 



401. Lespedeza angustifolia (Pursh) Ell. This species was first re- 

 ported from Lake County by Hill who discusses it at length (Bot. Gaz. 9: 

 47. 1884). It was also reported from Vigo County by Blatchley. I have 

 the Blatchley specimen and it is not this species. The Tippecanoe County 

 record is based on a specimen too immature for correct determination. I 

 have not seen the Cass County specimen. The species, as now understood, 

 is an Atlantic coast species and does not occur in our area; so, no doubt, 

 all of our reports should be referred to some other species, probably to 

 some narrow leaflet form of Lespedeza capitata.
