Excluded Species 1093 



593. Lonicera hirsuta Eat. Hairy Honeysuckle. Reported from 

 Steuben County by Bradner. Since he did not report the other two species 

 which I have seen in this county, and since there is no verifying specimen, 

 I believe it best to refer this record to some other species. It was also 

 reported from Kosciusko County by Clark. He says: "Found, but not in 

 flower, in the tamarack northeast of the lake." Clark's specimens are sup- 

 posed to have been preserved in the National Herbarium, but a letter from 

 the Curator, dated March 21, 1924, says that his specimen cannot be found 

 there. 



Vt. to Man., southw. to Pa., Ohio, and Minn. 



594. Lonicera oblongifolia (Goldie) Hook. Swamp Fly Honey- 

 suckle. This species was reported from Marshall County by Clark. He 

 says : "Rather rare ; one plant found on the south shore of the lake. 

 Throughout the tamarack swamps of northern Indiana one comes fre- 

 quently across a honeysuckle which is probably this species." Clark's speci- 

 mens are supposed to have been preserved in the National Herbarium, but 

 a letter from the Curator, dated March 21, 1924, says that the Clark 

 specimen cannot be found there. 



595. Lonicera sempervirens L. Trumpet Honeysuckle. This species 

 has been reported from Clark, Franklin, Jefferson, St. Joseph, Tippecanoe, 

 and Wayne Counties. J. M. Coulter, in his Flora of Jefferson County, says : 

 "Sparingly spontaneous." I feel certain that it is not a native of Indiana, 

 and do not believe it has escaped to the extent that it will become a perma- 

 nent part of our flora. Some of the above reports were made by authors who 

 did not distinguish between cultivated and native plants, so we have no way 

 of knowing to just what extent it has escaped. I have never seen it as an 

 escape, but noted it in Jefferson County along a fence where there was 

 formerly a dwelling. 



596. Lonicera tatArica L. Tartarian Honeysuckle. R. M. Kriebel 

 informed me that he found a bush of this species at the edge of a marsh 

 three fourths of a mile east of Mt. Summit, Henry County. It was in flower 

 on May 15, 1937 and in fruit on June 20, 1937. I am surprised to learn that 

 this is our only record of this plant escaping. 



S. Russia to Altai and Turkestan. 



597. Lonicera Xylosteum L. Found as an escape in 1937 by R. C. 

 Friesner in a decadent tamarack bog about a mile south of Garrett, De Kalb 

 County. It has been reported by McDonald as found by J. A. Nieuwland 

 and by P. E. Hebert on the bank of the St. Joseph River in St. Joseph 

 County. 



Eu. to Altai. 



598. Valerianella radiata (L.) Dufr. This species has been reported 

 for all parts of the state. A recent revision of the genus shows that our 

 plant is Valerianella intermedia Dyal and that our reports should be re- 

 ferred to this species. 



Pa. to Kans., southw. to Fla. and Tex.
