 County l>y 1 >r. S. II. Collins, Imt uf wliicli 1 have seen no s|n'eiiiien. Tin- range 

 does not make it ini])ossil)le that it is fonnd in tlie State, althongh certainly 

 rt-ndering the determination doiilitfni. Tiie plant is "noi'thward " in its al)nndant 

 range, tliongh fonnd in Tennessee on tlie anthority of I>r. <iattinger. 



Sullinaitiu Ohionix Torr. and (rray lias a definite locality of extremely narrow 

 limits on a limestone clifl' at Clifty Falls, .leflerson Connty. From this i>oiiit all 

 licrharinm s|)eciMU-ns have come. It is reported hy Dr. C. K. ISarnt's, from near 

 Washington, and hy Hainl and Taylor, from Clark Connty. It is, iiowever, 

 certain that the plant does not occnr in any ahnndance, cxce])t in the Clifty Falls 

 station. From my own experience in attem|(ting to extend tiu- range of Snlli- 

 vaiitia. I am inclined to helieve that the localities added liy Professor Barnes and 

 Messrs. ]>aird and Taylor were from an incorrect reference of immatnre forms. 

 The jdaiit is ri-markMhic for its occuni-iun- in widely separate stations. .Uthoiigh 

 the manual range seems hroad, an examination of tlie local lists shows that Sulli- 

 rmitia Ohionix is entitled to rank as a lari' plant. 



Tiarrlld rordifd/ia \j. is reported liy r)r. IMiinney in his list, which emhrace.s 

 the cinnties of Jay, Delaware, Wayne and Randolph. I have seen no linliana 

 .-pcciniens of this form. The sixth edition of the manual includes Indiana in the 

 range, which reads, "/i*/V7(, rncki/ tvoodfi, Xeir Eiif/land lo Miiinemta and Indiana and 

 southward in the mdiintalns.'" Whether the inclusion of the form is })ase<l upon Dr. 

 Phinney's report or not, I am un.-ihle to state The hahit of the plant would lead 

 to its occurrence, pci-haps, in this particular region, if it extends so far south- 

 ward. Dr. Phinu'y i'cp(uts it as "common" in rich woods. The state cat.-ilogue 

 i-ives the plant, rcferi-ing it ti> St. Joseph Counl\, i)Ut not giving authority for its 

 incdusion. The foini is one of great interest, and cHoi-Is should he made in the 

 direction of its rediscovery. 



3fit('/la iliphi/lld L. is fairly well ilistrii>utc<l, lieing (•s|)ecially ahnndant in the 

 central and eastern counties. It isdt-Huitely reported from tlu' following countier- 

 Jeflferson and Clark in the south, Xoldc in the noitli. I'ulnam in the central, and 

 Jav, Delaware, Kandolph and Wayne in the east. It also occtirs in relative 

 ahiiiidauce in Tii)|iccanoe. It is not, however, re])orted from the s(Uitlieastern, 

 s(uithwestern or western counties. Its inass (lisiiiKut ion is evidently in the central
