Notes on Some New or Little-Known Members of the 

 Indiana Flora. 



By Guy West Wilson. 



In preparing the present paper all notices of species of general and 

 well known distribution in the State have been omitted and only those 

 of more particular interest included. These plants naturally fall into three 

 groups: first, those which have not previously been recorded as members 

 of our flora; second, those which have been recognized as members of 

 our Mora since the publication of Dr. Coulter's Catalogue: third, those 

 which are recognized in that catalogue, but known only from a limited 

 region of the State or from a very few localities. 



The nomenclature adopted is that of Britton's Manual. Synonyms 

 are given only in case of species which bear a different name in Gray's 

 Manual from that employed here, or which have been previously reported 

 from the State under another name. The twenty-seven species which are 

 recorded for the first time as members of the Indiana flora are marked 

 with an asterisk (*). 



1. Lycopodium porophilum Lloyd & Underwood. Rock Club-moss. 



The only reference in any paper on the Indiana flora to this species 

 is by Dr. Coulter in the Proceedings of the Academy for 1901 (p. 301), 

 where the distinguishing characters of this species and its range are 

 quoted from Britton's Manual with the following remark: "The familiarity 

 of Dr. Underwood with the Pteridophytes of the State places this refer- 

 ence beyond question." There is a specimen of this species in the Her- 

 barium of DePauw University, which was collected by Dr. MacDougal 

 and originally labeled L. selago. The specimen was collected at Fern, 

 Putnam County, where the plant grows sparingly on sandstone cliffs in 

 company with L. lucidulum. This is the type locality of this species. 



2. Canadensis Marsh Taxus. American Yew. 



"Found only in Putnam County, associated with Tsuga canadensis," 

 according to the State Catalogue (p. 618). A specimen in the herbarium 

 of the Eli Lily Company, collected by Walter H. Evans, extends its range 

 to the southern part of Montgomery County.
