Al>dition8 to the Flora of Indiana. 



By Herman B. Dorner. 



The plants given in the list below, are some which were collected, by 

 the writer within the past three years, and have not, as yet, been included 

 in the State flora. 



It was thought best, in presenting this list, to add such notes as might 

 be of interest to botanical workers of the State. 



The nomenclature used is that of "Britton's Manual of the Flora of 

 the Northern United States and Canada." 



1. Pdiiii'iini (Uiliniibiauiini Scribn. Tippecanoe County. 

 Collected, in 1902, along the Wabash Railroad east of Lafayette. 



2. Paii'ivuiii L(i)iu(jiiios}iiit Ell. Tippecanoe County. 



This species was collected, dtiring the season of 1902, in three locali- 

 ties. It was first collected along the Wabash Railroad, east of Lafayette, 

 and again on a wooded hillside about three miles east of the city. The 

 third collection was made about three miles north of the city, along a 

 shaded roadside. 



Britton gives as the range of this species, "from sotitheru New .lersey 

 to Florida and Alabama." 



3. Pmiimtm oUgosnntlies Schult. Tippecanoe County. 



This was first collected, in 1901, along the AVabash Railroad east of 

 Lafayette. Observations in this locality, during the sticceeding years, 

 sTiow that it is gradually spreading over more territory. 



In 1902, it was again collected south of the city, along Wea Creek. 



Britton gives for its range, "Virginia to Georgia and Mississippi." 

 Its introduction into the State is probably due to the railroads. 



4. Sporoholtis longifolhis (Torr.) Wood. Tippecanoe County. 



This occurs in Tippecanoe Connly in several localities. It was first 

 collected south of Lafayette, along the banks of Wea Creek. Later it was 

 found on a dry, open hillside, about three miles east of the city. 



It is quite abundant where found. 



5. Bromvs patuhis M »fc K. Tippecanoe County. 



Quite common on Ptirdue farm and on State Street, West Lafayette. 



All attempts to determine this species referred it to B. squarrosus but 

 the description did not seem to fit it. Specimens were then sent to Prof. 

 Hitchcock who determined it as B. patulus M. & K. In regard to it he
