This species, adventive from Europe, is reported by Dr. Robert Hess- 

 ler as gi-owing along the State Line Railroad, east of Lake Cicott, Cass 

 County, June 7. 1901; Lake Maxhikuckee, Marsliall County, H. W. Clark. 

 The species is easily distinguished from the otlier members of the genus 

 by its height, from G-9 dm. 

 Vicin (ing)(siifoJia Roth. 



"Growing plentifully along the old Eel River railroad in the nm-thern 

 portion of Logansport. I had not noticed it in former years and it must 

 liave been introduced recently." (Robert Hessler.) 



Britton. in liis manual, page 5GG, gives the range of the species from 

 Nova Scotia to Florida. This record is a western extension of the range. 

 Tlie inflorescence being axillaiy, separates it readily from the other mem- 

 l»ers of the genus except T. sotira L. and V. seidmn !>.; from I.ioth of 

 which it is easily distinguished by the character of the leaflets.

"Lake Cicott, Jiuie 7, 1901, in flower; Lake Maxinkuckee, July 21, 

 1901. in fruit. Plants are more upright and bloom much earlier thau the 

 other species, at least l)y the end of May." lRol)ert Hessler.) Also col- 

 lected at Lake Maxinkuckee by H. W. Clark.
