in the State for this species. Its general range, " E. Mass. to Minn., and south- 

 westward," would indicate, perhaps, a more general distribution since it has 

 made its appearance within our boundaries. 



Nemopanthes fascicularis ^ai. " Wet ground, Miller's, Inil. Flowers collected 

 April 29 and May 11, 1882 ; leaves and fruit July 4, 1882." (E. J. Hill) ; Steu- 

 ben County (E. Bradner). Although not included in the lists of Mr. Van Gorder, 

 I have received from him this summer material of this species collected in Noble 

 County. The manual range of the plant was extended upon the collection of 

 Mr. Hill, and from the later reports it is fair to infer that its occurrence is limited 

 to perhaps the northern tier of counties. 



Lathyrus maritimus Bigel. "Shores of Lake Michigan, Whiting, Ind., July 

 15, 1875." (E. J. Hill.) A species inhabiting the seashore from Oregon and 

 New Jersey to the Arctic Ocean, and also found on the Great Lakes. The range 

 in Indiana can evidently be but slightly extended, if at all. 



Hosa Engkmanni Watson. "Flowers collected. East Chicago, Ind., June 5, 

 1890; fruit collected in damp thickets at Pine Station, Ind., Aug. 25, 1891. Four 

 feet to eight feet high." (E. J. Hill). The specimen furnished the survey seems 

 clearly referable to this species, though showing a decided increase in size. The 

 plant is normally from "three to four feet high, or less." Its range is given as 

 "Whisky Island, Lake Huron, shores of Lake Superior, and west to the Red 

 River valley, and in the mountains from N. Montana and N. Idaho to Colorado." 

 Its appearance in Indiana is of extreme interest and adds a new station for the 

 species. 



Heuchera hispida Pursh. "Sandy, open grounds, Tolleston, Ind., June 20, 

 1893." (E. J. Hill.) This is an additional station for this species which was 

 formerly reported only from Vigo County by W. S. Blatchley. It may be assumed 

 that the form will be found in favored localities throughout the State. (Saxifra- 

 gacese in Indiana, Proc. Ind. Acad, of Sci. 1894, p. 105.) 



Sambucus racemosu Ij. "Open woods. Porter, Ind., May 17, 1890; fruit, Otis, 

 Ind., May 21, 1881" ( E. J. Hill); "common at least in eastern part of Noble 

 County" ( VanGorderl ; Steuben County (Bradner) ; Putnam County (MacDougal) ; 

 .Jefferson County (J. M. Coulter) ; Clarke County (Baird and Taylor). This species 

 is northern in its mass distribution and is more rarely found southward. In leaf, 

 fruit and bark characters, it at times runs perilously close to S. Canadensis L. I 

 have found the color of the pith to be by far the most satisfactory means of dis- 

 crimination between the two forms. Although the assigned range includes Indi- 

 ana, my own experience leads me, in the absence of verifying specimens from
