Oxalis cymosa Small. (Marion County.) 



This is the common "sour-grass" about Indianapolis. O. stricta L. is 

 also present, but is rather rare. 



Gaura parviflora Dougl. (Marion County.) 



Just before leaving Indianapolis, September, 1904, I ran across what 

 is believed to be this species along Harding Street between the 

 Terre Haute divisions of the Big Four and the Vandalia Lines. 

 The plant was abundant and conspicuous. It was in fruit and it 

 took some search to get even a belated sprig with a few flowers; 

 but such was obtained and referred to Britton and Brown's Flora, 

 the identification seeming to be unquestionable. Specimens were 

 not preserved, except the mature fruit which is now in my seed 

 collection. This species is native from Nebraska and Oregon to 

 Mexico, and belongs to the list of western plants brought eastward 

 by the railroads. Its abundance at this place indicated that it 

 would hold its own if not soon exterminated by building and 

 street improvement. 



Sanicula trifoliata Bicknell. (Marion County.) 



Taken by Mr. Bartlett July 4, 1903. Reported from Indiana by Brit- 

 ton and Brown, but not included in the State Catalogue. Mr. Bart- 

 lett comments, "This plant grows on river bluffs and wooded hill- 

 sides, whereas S. Canadensis is generally found in wooded bottom- 

 land. The two species appear to intergrade somewhat with one 

 another, but never, so far as observed, with S. Marylandica." 



Apocynum cannabinum glaberrimum DC. (Marion County. ) 



Confined to gravel shores along White River. Taken August 24, 

 1903, by Mr. Bartlett. 



Ruellia ciliosa Pursh. (Madison County.) 



Specimens taken along White River, at Anderson, August 6, 1904, 

 have all the leaves verticileate in threes. Such variation from 

 strictly opposite leaves is very rare in the Acanthaceae. (C. P. 

 Smith No. 141, in Herb. Bartlett.) 



Galium Claytoni Michx. (Marion County.) 



Taken July 10, 1904, by Mr. Bartlett, near Indianapolis. 



Vernonia Drummondii Schuttlw. (Marion County.) 



Taken at Mallott Park, August 14, 1904, by Mr. Bartlett. This is a 

 State record and eastward extension of range.
