Excluded Species 1069 



408. Glycine Soja Sieb. & Zucc. Soy Bean. This plant has been re- 

 ported from Jasper County. It has been extensively sown throughout the 

 state and is found spontaneous here and there but there is no evidence that 

 it is established anywhere. 



Nat. of China and Japan. 



409. Galactia regularis (L.) BSP. Reported by Phinney from the area 

 of Delaware, Jay, Randolph, and Wayne Counties. This report should 

 no doubt be referred to some other species. 



N. Y. to Kans., southw. to Fla., Miss., and Okla. 



410. Vigna sinensis (L.) Endl. Common Cowpea. This species was 

 reported by Schneck to have escaped in the Lower Wabash Valley. It has 

 been commonly sown throughout the state and since there have been no 

 additional reports I am concluding that Schneck's report was of a casual 

 escape. 



Nat. of Asia. 



411. Geranium molle L. This species was reported by Hansen (Proc. 

 Indiana Acad. Sci. 36: 251. 1927), who says it was established along the 

 roadside near Battle Ground in Tippecanoe County. There is no specimen. 

 It was, however, collected on the campus of Indiana University and a speci- 

 men is in the herbarium of that University. 



Nat. of Eu. 



412. Erodium cicutarium (L.) L'Her. Storksbill. This species was 

 reported by Schneck from the Lower Wabash Valley. He says : "Escaped 

 from gardens, very rare." There is a specimen collected in St. Joseph 

 County in 1917 by Nieuwland in the herbarium of the University of Notre 

 Dame. Probably a chance escape. 



Nat. of Eu. 



413. Oxalis MONTANA Raf. (Rhodora 22: 143-144. 1920.) (Oxalis Ace- 

 tosella L. of Gray, Man., ed. 7 and Britton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) 

 This species was reported from La Porte County by the Editors of the 

 Botanical Gazette in 1881 in a catalogue of the plants of Indiana. It was 

 also reported by Collins from Dearborn County. There are no specimens. 



Deep woods in N. S. and e. Que. to Sask., southw. to N. E., N. Y., and 

 in the mts. to N. C. 



414. LiNUM usitatissimum L. Flax. Before the advent of ready made 

 clothing, flax was universally grown by the pioneers for its tough fiber 

 which was woven into cloth. It is now grown mostly for its seed from 

 which an oil is obtained which is used most largely in the manufacture of 

 paints. The crop is reported to quickly exhaust the soil, and is no longer 

 grown in the state. When it was widely cultivated it was a common escape 

 principally along roadsides and railroads, but persisted only for the year. 



Nat. of Eu. 



415. Tribulus terrestris L. A colony of this plant was found along 

 the Nickel Plate Railroad just south of Bluffton, Wells County, in 1927. 

 The place was revisited in 1930 and the colony had disappeared. A colony
