1074 Excluded Species 



which a positive determination may be made, it is best to exclude it for 

 the present. 



Pine barrens of N. J. to glades of Ky., Ark., and southw. 



445. Hypericum ellIpticum Hook. Reported by Wilson from Hamilton 

 and Marion Counties. He says: "Common." He also reports Hypericum 

 mutilum and says: "Common." Hypericum mutilum and Hypericum punc- 

 tatum, which he does not report, are the only two natives species that would 

 be common in those counties. The range of Hypericum, ellipticum is to the 

 north of Indiana and all evidence suggests a wrong determination. 



N. B. to Man., southw. to Pa., Mich., Wis., and Minn. 



446. Hypericum graveolens Buckl. Reported for Monroe County by 

 Andrews. The range of this species is the mountains of southwestern 

 Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Andrews preserved no speci- 

 men, so the species is excluded from our list. 



447. Hypericum gymnanthemum Engelm. & Gray. Reported from 

 Lake County by Higley & Raddin and also by Pepoon. Probably confused 

 with Hypericum majus. I have not seen a specimen. 



N. J. and e. Pa. to Fla. and Tex.; northw. in the Mississippi Valley to 

 Ohio. 



448. Elatine americana (Pursh) Arn. (Fernald. The genus Elatine in 

 eastern North America. Rhodora 19: 10-15. 1917.) This plant was re- 

 ported by Peattie as rare about ponds in the Calumet district, and also 

 reported by Pepoon in his flora of the Chicago region. Bradner reported it 

 from Steuben County and Schneck reported it from the Lower Wabash 

 Valley. I am excluding it from our flora for lack of a confirming specimen. 

 I have searched diligently for it for several years without success. 



449. Lechea intermedia Leggett. Reported from Cass (Hessler), Lake 

 (Blatchley and Coulter's Catalogue for Hill), Marshall (Clark), Steuben 

 (Bradner), and Vigo Counties (Blatchley). These are all old reports and I 

 have not seen a specimen. A. R. Hodgdon, who recently monographed the 

 genus, wrote me that it occurred near Chicago in Illinois and in Lucas 

 County, Ohio. It doubtless occurs in northern Indiana but I have not 

 seen a specimen. 



N. B. and N. S. to Wis., southw. to Pa. 



450. Lechea maritima Leggett. Reported by Higley and Raddin from 

 Lake County. Hodgdon, who recently monographed the genus, wrote me 

 that the species is restricted to the Atlantic seaboard, which excludes it 

 from Indiana. 



451. Viola crassula Greene. I reported this species from Steuben 

 County in Proc. Indiana Acad. Sci. 1905: 186. 1906. I am now referring 

 this specimen to Viola cucullata. 



452. Viola emarginata LeConte. I have a small specimen collected 

 May 22, 1910, along a ditch just west of the State Prison in La Porte 

 County, and which was named for me by Ezra Brainerd. I feel doubtful as
