Excluded Species 1079 



482. Nyssa biflora Walt. This was reported by Pepoon for Umbach 

 from Dune Park in Porter County. N. C. Fassett has examined the speci- 

 men, which is in the herbarium of the University of Wisconsin, and he 

 refers it to Nyssa sylvatica. (Rhodora 35: 200. 1933.) 



Pine barrens of the Coastal Plain from N. C. to Fla. and westw. 



483. Pyrola asarifolia Michx. Reported from Lake and Porter 

 Counties. These reports may be correct but probably they should be re- 

 ferred to the variety. I have not seen a specimen. 



E. Que. to Yukon, southw. to N. S., n. N. E., n. N. Y., n. Mich., and Colo. 



484. Rhododendron nudiflorum (L.) Torr. Reported for W. R. 

 Dudley from Monroe County by the Editors of the Botanical Gazette in a 

 Flora of Indiana on page 17, 1881. Evidently Dudley, who collected also in 

 the vicinity of Ithaca, New York, confused his records, because the species 

 does not occur in Indiana. 



N. H. to N. Y., southw. along the mts. to Fla. and La. 



485. Kalmia angustifolia L. This species was reported on the same 

 authority as the preceding and is excluded for the same reason. 



Lab. to Hudson Bay, southw. to Ga. and Mich. 



486. Gaylussacia frondosa (L.) T. & G. Dangleberry. Reported 

 from Clark County by Baird & Taylor and by C. P. Smith, and from Monroe 

 County by F. M. Andrews. The range of the species does not extend west 

 of the Allegheny Mountains and all reports of it should be referred to some 

 other species. 



487. Samolus Valeriandi L. This species has been found in the 

 United States only in ballast at Philadelphia. It has been reported from 

 Clark County by Baird & Taylor ; from Fayette County in Coulter's Cata- 

 logue for Hessler ; and from Monroe County by Andrews. No doubt all of 

 these reports should be referred to our native species, especially in such 

 cases where the author did not report our native species. 



Europe and Asia. 



488. Halesia Carolina L. Great Silverbell. Reported in Coulter's 

 Catalogue from Vanderburgh County without quoting authority. The 

 only other reference I can find to this species is that of Brendel who says : 

 "Halesia tetraptera (Halesia Carolina) has been found near Evansville on 

 the Ohio, and might be sought in the south part of the state of Illinois." 

 (Trans. Illinois Agric. Soc. 3: 600. 1859.) 



489. Fraxinus caroliniana Mill. Water Ash. This ash was included 

 in Coulter's Catalogue upon the authority of Dr. Schneck. I have seen no 

 specimen and since its range is south of Indiana, the species is omitted. 



490. SyrInga vulgaris L. Common Lilac. The lilac has been reported 

 from Jasper County by Welch and from White County by Heimlich. I 

 have never seen it escape from cultivation. I have seen it, however, persist 

 on the site of deserted habitations until the area was reforested. I believe
