1102 Excluded Species 



673. BiDENS laevis (L.) BSP. This is an Atlantic coast species but 

 there are reports for it from some of the Mississippi Valley States. It has 

 been reported from Indiana several times but I have seen no specimens. 

 I have examined the Barnes specimen from Jefferson County, which is in 

 the herbarium of Purdue University, and it is Bidens cernua. 



Mass. to Ga., cent. N. Y. and Calif. 



674. Bidens mitis (Michx.) Sherff. This species was reported from 

 Jefferson County by Young under the name of Coreopsis arguta Pursh. It 

 is restricted in its distribution to the southeastern part of the United 

 States, and since there is no specimen, it is excluded. 



675. Chrysanthemum Leucanthemum L. Reported from all parts 

 of the state. Doubtless all these reports should be referred to the variety 

 which is found throughout the state. 



Nat. of Eu. ; Newf . and e. Que. to N. J. ; rare southw. 



676. Chrysanthemum Parthenium (L.) Bernh. Feverfew. This 

 plant was formerly cultivated in gardens on account of its medicinal quali- 

 ties. It sparingly escaped, but, since there are no data to prove that it 

 has maintained itself, it is excluded. 



Nat. of Eu. ; N. B. and Ont., southw. to N. J. and Ohio ; also in Calif. 



677. Artemisia Abrotanum L. Southernwood. This species has been 

 reported from Hamilton, Jefferson, and Monroe Counties. Since there is 

 no evidence that this species has escaped and has established itself, it is 

 excluded and regarded only as a garden escape. I have seen the Hamilton 

 County specimen and it is Artemisia biennis. 



Nat. of Eu. ; Mass. to s. Ont., N. Y., and Nebr. 



678. Artemisia canadensis Michx. Reported from the dune area of 

 Lake and Porter Counties. As now understood, it is a form of Artemisia 

 boreaUs and belongs to the Hudson Bay Region. Reports for it from In- 

 diana should be referred to Artemisia caudata. 



679. Artemisia Carruthii Wood. (Artemisia kansana Britt.) Pepoon 

 reports that in 1899 Umbach found a colony of this plant along the B. & 0. 

 Railroad near Miller, Lake County. Peattie reports it, doubtless referring 

 to the same report. Since there are no additional data I regard it as a 

 railroad migrant. In 1935 N. C. Fassett reported that, there was no speci- 

 men in the Umbach herbarium at the University of Wisconsin. 



Mo., Colo., Utah, and Tex. 



680. Artemisia longifolia Nutt. Pepoon reports that Umbach collected 

 this species along the Pennsylvania Railroad at "Clarke Junction," Lake 

 County (now near the intersection of Clark and Fourth Streets, Gary). 

 Since there is no evidence of its persistence, it is excluded. In 1935 N. C. 

 Fassett reported that there was no specimen in the Umbach herbarium. 



Man., Idaho, Colo., and Wash. 



681. Artemisia ludoviciana Nutt. Reported from Lake County, and in 

 1921 I found a few colonies along the railroad about a mile and a half
