1094 Excluded Species 



599. Valeriana officinalis L. Common Valerian. Garden Helio- 

 trope. Cultivated in gardens for ornament. This species was reported 

 without any comment, from Monroe County by Andrews. Since there are 

 no other reports, it is excluded from our flora. 



Nat. of Eu.; escaped to roadsides in N. Y., N. J., and Ohio. 



600. Valeriana septentrionalis Rydb. This species was reported 

 under the name of Valeriana sylvatica Banks by four authors about 60 

 years ago. Since these authors did not report Valeriana intermedia which 

 is a native of the state, they no doubt confused the names of the plant, and I 

 accordingly exclude Valeriana septentrionalis from the Indiana flora. 



B. C, southw. in the Rocky Mts. to N. Mex. 



601. Cucurbita foetidissima HBK. Missouri Gourd. Pepoon reports 

 that this plant was found along the Wabash Railroad near Miller, Lake 

 County, and persisted for eight years, when cold destroyed it. Peattie 

 reported it for the Calumet District, but doubtless he had reference to this 

 report without giving credit. I regard this species as a railroad migrant. 



S. Dak. to Tex.; westw. to Calif. 



602. Cucurbita Pepo var. ovifera Alefeld. Pear Gourd. Peattie re- 

 ported this variety as "nat. on pure sand around Tremont" (Porter 

 County). I regard this as a migrant or as an escape from some garden. 

 Buhl (Amer. Midland Nat. 16: 252. 1935) says this report is of a non- 

 persistent garden escape. 



603. Campanula divaricata Michx. This species was reported from 

 the Lower Wabash Valley as occurring "in hilly woods ; rare" by Schneck. 

 It was also reported from Monroe County by Andrews. I bought the Indiana 

 specimens of the Schneck herbarium and the collection did not contain a 

 specimen of this species. Andrews preserved no specimen. Since there is 

 no verifying specimen, the species is excluded. 



Va. to Ky. and southw. 



604. Specularia leptocarpa (Nutt.) Gray. This species was found by 

 Charles M. Ek, July 10, 1935, on an embankment of the New York, Chi- 

 cago & St. Louis Railroad (Nickel Plate Road), about 2 miles southeast of 

 Sharpsville, Tipton County. Without doubt it was a railroad migrant. 



Mont., Colo., Mo., and Kans. to Tex. 



605. Vernonia noveboracensis Willd. Reported mostly by our early 

 authors who did not understand the species. Its range is restricted, in 

 general, to the Atlantic coast. Pepoon's report of Umbach's specimen from 

 Lake County should be referred to V. missurica Raf. (Rhodora 35: 210. 

 1933.) 



Mass. to Ohio, southw. along the Atlantic coast to Miss, and the Gulf. 



606. Eupatorium hyssopifolium L. Reported in a "Catalogue of the 

 Plants of Indiana," published by the editors of the Botanical Gazette and 

 C. R. Barnes in 1881. They say: "From specimens in the herbarium of 

 Lafayette High School. Locality not certain but probably Tippecanoe Co."
