28. Hamulus lupulus L. Hop. 



This species is given in the State Catalogue as an escape from cultiva- 

 tion, which is doubtless true of some of the stations of this plant within 

 the State In other localities it is evidently a native. Among these is a 

 region of very low bottom land near White River in Hamilton County, 

 where wild hops of a good quality are by no means rare. Some of the 

 older residents of the county say that in the days when the greater part of 

 this region was still unsettled that annual trips were made to the swamps 

 of this region for the purpose of gathering the family supply of hops. 

 This region furnished the hop vines which are still growing at some of 

 the older homesteads.

 Manual this species is confined principally to the eastern states. Pre- 

 viously reported from Marion and Steuben counties. (Proc. Ind. Acad. Sci. 

 1904: 3D3.)
