Notes Upon Some Little Known Members of the Indiana 



Flora. 



(PAPER NUMBER TWO.) 



Chas. Piper Smith. 



A year ago I gave some notes from my studies in systematic botany, 

 for the summer of 1003, in a paper under the above heading. Certain 

 facts gleaned from my studies the past season, seem to justify me in 

 offering a continuation of that paper. A review of Dr. Coulter's .cata- 

 logue of the State flora and of all of the subsequent "Additions to the 



flora ," etc., in the Academy's "Proceedings." indicates that a tew 



of my recent takes are not reported from the State. Two or three are, 

 however, imdoubtedly migrants, though evidently here to stay. 



Specimens verifying most of these records have been placed in the 

 herbarium of Mr. Harley H. Bartlett. These are now with him at Har- 

 vard University and have been critically examined and compared at the 

 Gray Herbarium. Almost all are also represented in my collection of 

 plant seeds. In accordance with Mr. Barl left's request, I include a few 

 records which are strictly his own. In reality his name should appear 

 with mine as joint author of this paper. 

 Aft'na fatxa L. (Marion County. ) 



A half dozen specimens of this well-marked oat were found by Mr. 

 Bartlett and myself along the "Monou," at the State Fair Grounds, 

 Indianapolis, in July, 1903. About the same number of plants was 

 noted there by myself in August, 1904. An introduction from Eu- 

 rope, it is abundant in California and is not reported east of 

 [Minnesota by Britton and Brown. "^

A small patch found along White River near Anderson. Jefferson 

 County is the only station report by Dr. Coulter.f

 dant where foiind at Lafayette and Anderson.
