be limited to the northern portions of the State, and its occurrence there can only 

 be expected in exceptionally favorable localities. 



Hudsonia tomentosa Nntt. "Sand hills, Miller's, Ind., June 20, 1893." (E. J. 

 Hill.) This striking form has as yet its only station as indicated. It is so unlike 

 the ordinary phanerogam of Indiana that it could scarcely have escaped notice if 

 it was of any wide distribution. The range of the plant is "sandy shores, Maine 

 to Md., and along the Great Lakes to Minn., rarely on streams inland." It is 

 therefore probable that its distribution in Indiana is extremely restricted. 



Lechea thi/mifolut Michx. "Sandv ground, Tolleston, Ind. Flowers collected 

 Sept. 16, 1882; fruit, Oct. 1, 1881." This is the only record for the species, 

 and if the determination holds good, is a rather peculiar extension of range. ' 

 The assigned range is "dry grounds near the coast, E. Mass. to Fla." The refer- 

 ence is apparently accurate, but on account of the well-known ditiiculty of dis- 

 crimination between the species of this genus, I am unable to feel absolutely cer- 

 tain in the absence of authenticated specimens for comparison. The authority of 

 Mr. Hill, however, is sufficient to retain the plant in the State list until oppor- 

 tunity occurs f<ir comparison with forms from the east. 



Arenaria yiichauxii Hook. f. "Dry sands, Clark, Ind., June 13, 1893." (E. 

 J. Hill.) There seems to be no special reason why this species should not be 

 found generally distributed throughout the State, although as yet this is the only 

 station recorded. The known range of the plant easily includes Indiana, and it 

 should be looked for throughout the State. 



Arenarut literifl.ora L. "Dry woods, Miller's, Ind., June 20, 1893." (E. .1. 

 Hill.) This species was reported by Dr. A. J. Phinney in his list of plants of 

 the region covering Jay, Delaware, Randolph and Wayne counties. He, how- 

 ever, secured no verifying specimen. The Lake County collection, however, 

 serves under the rules of the State to give the species a place in the flora of Indi- 

 ana. It is probable that the plant will be found to occur only in the eastern and 

 northern counties of the State, its general range being northward. 



Hypericum Kalmianum L. " Wettish sands, Tolleston, Ind. Flowers col- 

 lected June 29, 1880; fruit, September 3, 1880." (E. J. Hill.) Also collected at 

 Laporte bv Dr. C. R. Barnes. This species is evidently limited to the northwest- 

 ern counties of the State and will probably not be found much beyond the lake 

 region. The assigned range is Niagara Falls and northern lakes. 



Linum su'cntum Riddell. "Dry, sandy soil, Pine Station. Ind., July 28, 

 1875." (E. J. Hill.) So far as I am able to determine, this is the only station
