1098 Excluded Species 



630. Aster Lowrieanus Porter. This species was reported from Mon- 

 roe County by Andrews but he preserved no specimen. It occurs in Ohio and 

 probably in Indiana. 



Conn, to Ont., southw. to N. C. and Ky. 



631. Aster novi-bedgii L. New York Aster. This aster has been re- 

 ported from three counties. Since this species belongs to the Atlantic 

 Coastal Plain, it is evident that these reports should be transferred to 

 some other species. 



Newf., Maine to Ga., mainly near the coast. 



632. Aster pilosus var. Pringlei (Gray) Blake. This variety was re- 

 ported from Lake County, but I have not seen a specimen. I believe a 

 depauperate specimen of the species has been mistaken for the variety. 



633. Aster polyphyllus Willd. This species was reported to have been 

 found by Hill near Whiting. I have seen his specimen, which is in the 

 herbarium of DePauw University, and it is not this species. 



Maine, Ont., and Wis., southw. to Pa. and N. C. 



634. Aster tenuifolius L. Reported from a few counties by our early 

 botanists. Since the species is restricted in its distribution to the Atlantic 

 coast doubtless all reports should be referred to some other species. 



Salt marshes from Mass. to Fla. 



635. Aster Tradescanti L. K. M. Wiegand, who has made an intensive 

 study of the group of asters of which this species was considered a part, 

 writes that this species was so indefinitely defined that its description 

 can not be applied without doubt. Consequently, he proposes to drop the 

 name and refer the plate at least in part to Aster lateriflorus. It has been 

 reported from all parts of the state. 



636. Aster Tradescanti var. foliosus (Ait.) Gray. This variety was 

 reported from Porter County by Peattie. Since the application of the name 

 is in doubt, and I have not seen a specimen, the report is ignored. Buhl 

 (Amer. Midland Nat. 16: 252. 1935) refers this report to A. Tradescanti, 

 which name is dropped in this treatment. 



637. Aster turbinellus Lindl. Reported from Monroe County by An- 

 drews, but there is no specimen. The species, as understood by Burgess 

 and Gray, has a range west of Indiana. 



Prairies of 111. to Kans., southw. to La. 



638. Aster vimineus var. foliosus (Ait.) Gray. This variety was re- 

 ported from Franklin County by Meyncke, and from Porter County by 

 Pepoon. The status of the variety is questioned and Wiegand says "the 

 standing of the variety is not entirely clear." I think it best to drop it for 

 the present. 



639. ErIgeron acris L. Reported from Monroe County by Andrews. 

 No doubt this should be referred to some other species. 



Lab. to Alaska, southw. to Maine, Ont., and in the Rocky Mts. to Colo, 

 and Utah.
