1096 Excluded Species 



616. Solidago perglabra Friesner. This is a species that Friesner 

 segregated from the section Euthamia. I believe this section has been di- 

 vided too much. I think the specimens I have seen can safely be referred to 

 Solidago media or some may be the true Solidago graminifolia. More defi- 

 nite data must be at hand before the Euthamia species can be separated 

 with certainty. 



W. Va., Mich., Ind. and 111. 



617. Solidago petiolaris Ait. Reported from Clark County by Baird & 

 Taylor and from Jefferson County by Barnes, J. M. Coulter, and Young. 

 There are no verifying specimens. Since this species has a range to the 

 south and southwest of Indiana, it is probable it was confused with one of 

 the squarrose-bracted species. 



N. C, s. 111., Mo., and Kans., southw. to Fla. and Tex. 



618. Solidago puberula Nutt. Reported by Young from Jefferson 

 County. The report should be referred to some other species. 



Que., southw. to Pa. and Fla., chiefly near the coast. 



619. Solidago radula Nutt. This species was reported from Jefferson 

 County by Barnes and by Coulter for Young. It was reported from Mar- 

 shall County by Hessler in 1896 and by Clark in 1920, who writes : "A few 

 plants on the east side of Lake Maxinkuckee." I found specimens so 

 labeled from Jasper County but all the specimens I saw in herbaria are 

 Solidago 7igida. Since this species has a range far to the west of Indiana 

 I think it can be safely excluded. 



Sw. 111., Kans., southw. to La. and Tex. 



620. Solidago Randii (Porter) Britt. This species was reported by Mc- 

 Donald from St. Joseph County. If this report is based upon Nieuwland's 

 no. 2260, labeled Solidago Randii, it should be referred to Solidago rugosa 

 var. aspera (Ait.) Fern. 



Maine, and in the mts. to Va., and westw. to Mich. 



621. Solidago rupestris Raf. Reported from Clark and Floyd Counties. 

 Riddell in his "Supplement to Ohio Plants" published in 1836, on page 36 

 says : "A plant 16-18 inches high, flowering in September, found in rocky 

 situations on the north bank of the falls of the Ohio." I have a book in 

 which Dr. Clapp recorded that he also found it on the north shore of the 

 falls. 



Britton and Brown (Illus. Flora, ed. 2) refer this species to Solid-ago 

 canadensis L. I have not seen a specimen. 

 W. Va., Ky., and Ind. 



622. Solidago Shortii T. & G. This species was described from speci- 

 mens collected by C. W. Short in 1840 on Rock Island, one of the islands 

 of the falls of the Ohio, which is located in about the middle of the Ohio 

 River south of Clarksville, Clark County, Indiana. Since the southern 

 boundary of Indiana is low water mark of the north side of the Ohio River, 

 Rock Island is technically in Kentucky and this species must be excluded 

 because it has never been found in Indiana. There are three specimens in
