JS'oTEs Upon Some Little-Known Members of the Indiana 



Flora. 



By Chas. Piper Smith. 



As a member of the senior class in botany at Purdue, during tlie 

 last spring, I began a season of active field worli in botany, which 

 circumstances led me to continue through the summer and autumn. 



Five weeks during July and AugTist were spent upon the State For- 

 estry Reservation, in Clark County, the major portion of the season, 

 however, after leaving Lafayette in June being spent about Indian- 

 apolis. 



Britton and Brown's "Illustrated Flora of the Northern States and 

 Canada" was used as the basis of study, the more recent Britton's 

 Manual not being at hand for comparison. 



Dr. Coulter's catalogue of the State flora was always referred to 

 as each plant was handled, and it is in reference to this list that I 

 make the following notes. 



Most of the plants here considered have been checked over for 

 mc by Mr. Bartlett. of the Shortridge High School, and most of the 

 specimens upon which determinations have been based have been laid 

 before Dr. Stanley Coulter and left in his charge. 

 Carex Baileyi Britton. Bailey's Sedge. 



Common about Indianapolis. Taken by Mr. Bartlett and myself 

 along streams and in wet places. Also taken by me upon the 

 Forestry Reservation, where it was first recognized. Not recorded
