1082 Excluded Species 



508. Gonolobus carolinensis (Jacq.) Schultes. This species was re- 

 ported from the environs of New Harmony by Prince Maximilian under 

 the name of Gonolobium hirsutum. Doubtless this report should be referred 

 to some other species. 



Md. and Va., southw. to Fla. and Tenn. 



509. Gonolobus Shortii Gray. I reported this species but Miss 

 Perry refers my specimens to Gonolobus obliquus (Jacq.) Schultes. 



Pa. to Ky., southw. to Ga. 



510. Cuscuta Epithymum Murr. Flax Dodder. Reported by me from 

 the Lower Wabash Valley upon the authority of Schneck. There are no 

 specimens. Reported from Putnam and Ripley Counties by Blatchley in his 

 weed book. The Ripley County report was made upon my authority and I 

 find that the determination was wrong. No doubt the Putnam County 

 report should also be referred to some other species. 



511. Phlox amoena Sims. This species has been reported from Jef- 

 ferson County and from the Lower Wabash Valley. Since the distribution 

 of the species is south of our area, it is excluded from our flora. 



Va. to e. Ky., southw. to Fla. and Miss. 



512. Phlox stolonifera Sims. Reported from Indiana in Wood's Class- 

 book of Botany, ed. 2, and carried in all succeeding editions. It was 

 reported on the authority of Plummer. Since the distribution of this species 

 is to the southeast of Indiana, it is dropped from our flora. 



Pa., southw. to the mts. to Ga. and Tenn. 



513. Collomia linearis Nutt. In 1935 Charles M. Ek found a colony 

 approximately a hundred feet long on both sides of the Pennsylvania Rail- 

 road about 2 miles northwest of Kokomo, Howard County. Doubtless 

 introduced here. 



N. B., Wis. to B. C, southw. in the Rocky Mts. to Calif., but introduced 

 east of the Rocky Mts. 



514. Phacelia dubia (L.) Small. Our only report is one from Monroe 

 County made by Andrews. It is excluded for lack of a confirming specimen. 



N. Y. and Pa. to Mo. and Kans., southw. to Ga. and Tex. 



515. Lappula Redowskii (Hornem.) Greene var. occidentals 

 (Wats.) Rydb. I reported this variety from Porter County but I am now 

 referring the specimen to Lappula echinata Gilib. 



Nat. of Asia and Amer. ; nat. of the U. S. west of our area, from Sask., 

 N. Dak. to Okla. and N. Mex., but introd. into several states east of its 

 range. 



516. Symphytum officinale L. Common Comfrey. This is a medi- 

 cinal herb which was cultivated in gardens by the pioneers, but it is now 

 very rarely or never cultivated. It was reported as an escape by some of 

 the early botanists but I have seen it only once and that was along the 

 roadside near a house. The colony may have persisted from an old garden. 

 It was reported as being common in woods in Jefferson County. I doubt
