Notes Upon Some Little-Known Members of the 

 Indiana Flora. 



(PAPER NUMBER THREE.) 



By Charles Piper Smith. 



Since offering my second paper under the above heading, my friend, 

 Mr. Harley H. Bartlett, has been able to come to definite conclusion 

 concerning certain of our Indiana collections not worked upon in time for 

 inclusion in my last report. As before, his decisions are the result of 

 careful study and comparison at the Gray Hei'barium, where he has 

 received the assistance of Mr. Fernald and Dr. Robinson whenever occa- 

 sion demanded. Through the kindness of Dr. Schneck, Mr. Bartlett has 

 had the pleasure of examining that gentleman's specimens of the genus 

 Juncus, and I comply with my friend's request to note certain facts 

 gleaned from his study of this interesting collection. 



Specimens verifying these records are in the herbarium of Mr. Bart- 

 lett, except in the cases where it is specifically stated that no specimens 

 were preserved. 

 Sorghum Halepense (L. ) Willd. (Marion County.) 



Occasional about Indianapolis. Included in the State Catalogue,* but 

 no definite station noted. Taken August 20, 1904, by Mr. Bartlett. 



Cyperus rivularis Kunth. (Marion County.) 



Taken along Fall Creek, August 20, 1903, by Mr. Bartlett. In sandy 

 soil; rare. 

 Carex pallescens L. (Madison County.) 



A sedge so named by Mr. Bartlett was taken by me August 10, 1904, 

 at a springy place by the File Works, Anderson. As this species 

 is not recorded from Indiana, additional material is desired, since 

 the material preserved is limited to the fruiting heads and perigynia 

 in my seed collection. 

 Carex cephaloidea Dewey. (Tippecanoe County. ) 



Mature fruit of a sedge was obtained by me June 7, 1904, along the 

 "Monon," just south of Lafayette. The characters of the whole 

 plant were noted and later the material was referred to this species, 



"Flowerine Plants and Ferns of Indiana in State tieol. Report, 1899; 626.
