Excluded Species 1075 



to the determination of this small, young specimen and I prefer to exclude 

 the species until a more authentic specimen is available. 

 Southern N. Y., southw. to n. Ga. and westw. to Okla. 



453. Viola hastata Michx. This species was reported from Clark 

 County by Baird & Taylor. Stanley Coulter discussed this report in Proc. 

 Indiana Acad. Sci. 1899 : 107. 1900 and said that the report doubtless was 

 based on a wrong determination. There is no specimen. 



Mts. of Pa. to Ohio, southw. to Fla. 



454. Viola incognita Brainerd. This species was reported from Porter 

 and St. Joseph Counties by Nieuwland & Kaczmarek and from Porter 

 County by Pepoon. I have not seen the species in the state and I am re- 

 ferring these reports to the variety. 



Lab. to N. Dak., southw. along the mts. to Tenn. 



455. Viola nephrophylla Greene. I reported this species from Grant 

 and Noble Counties in Proc. Indiana Acad. Sci. 1915 : 139. 1916. I do not 

 have these specimens and none are to be found in the Brainerd herbarium. 

 Doubtless Brainerd changed the names and failed to report the change. In 

 the absence of positive evidence I am excluding it from our flora. 



Newf. and the Great Lakes to Wash., southw. to Conn, and in the mts. 

 to Colo, and Calif.; also in Ariz, and N. Mex. 



456. Viola palmata L. Palmate Violet. Viola pedatiflda and Viola 

 triloba and their hybrids may be easily mistaken by amateurs for this 

 species. I have several specimens named Viola palmata but Prof. A. 

 Gershoy says they are hybrids of other species. This species has been 

 variously reported for the state but as I understand the species, all or 

 most of our reports should doubtless be referred to other species or 

 their hybrids. 



457. Viola pedatiflda X sororia Brainerd. I reported this hybrid from 

 Wells County in Proc. Indiana Acad. Sci. 1915: 139. 1916. I do not 

 have this specimen and it cannot be found in the Brainerd herbarium. 

 Doubtless Brainerd changed the name and did not report the change. In 

 the absence of positive evidence, I am excluding it. 



458. Viola pratincola Greene. I reported this species from Lake and 

 Porter Counties in Proc. Indiana Acad. Sci. 1916: 320. 1917. Ezra Brain- 

 erd says : "Appears not to be specifically distinct from Viola papilionacea 

 to which I am referring my specimens." 



459. Viola rotundifolia Michx. Reported from Dearborn (Collins) 

 and Jefferson (Young) Counties. Coulter discusses these reports (Proc. 

 Indiana Acad. Sci. 1899: 108. 1900) and says the reports are based upon 

 wrong determinations. There are no specimens. 



Maine to Lake Huron, southw. along the Alleghenies to Ga. 



460. Viola viarum Poll. Our only specimen was collected in very sandy 

 soil along the railroad about 4 miles south of Vincennes. Dr. Brainerd 

 named my specimen and says: "Much like the type collection, St. Louis
