Additions to the Flora of Indiana. 



By Herman B. Doexek. 



The plants given in the list below, are some Avhlch were collected, by 

 the writer within the past three years, and have not, as yet, been included 

 in the State flora. 



It was thought best, in presenting this list, to add such notes as might 

 be of interest to botanical workers of the State. 



The nomenclature used is that of "Britton's Manual of the Flora of 

 thi' Northern United States and Canada." 



1. Faiii'uni Columbiantnn Scribn. Tippecanoe County. 

 Collected, in 1902. along the Wabash Railroad east of Lafayette. 



2. Pdiiiciijii L'uiiitjinosiini Ell. Tippecanoe County. 



This species was collected, during the season of 1902, in three locali- 

 ties. It Avas first collected along the Wabash Railroad, east of Lafayette, 

 and again on a wooded liillside about three miles east of the city. The 

 third collection was made about three miles nortli of tlie city, along a 

 shaded I'oadside. 



Britton gives as the range of this species, "from southern New .Jersey 

 to Florida and Alabama." 



3. Panicin)! olifiosfinthes Schult. Tippecanoe County. 



This was tirst collected, in llWl, along the Wabash Railroad east of

In 1902, it was again collected sotith of the city, along Wea Creek. 



Britton gives for its range, "Virginia to Georgia and Mississippi." 

 Its introdtiction into the State is prol>ably due to the railroads. 



4. Sporoboliis loiiijifolius (Torr.) Wood. Tippecanoe Cottnty. 



This occurs in Tippecanoe Cotuily in several localities. It was first 

 collected south of Lafayette, along tlie banks of Wea Creek. Later it was 

 found on a dry, open hillside, about three miles east of the city. 



It is quite abundant where found. 



5. Bromvs patulits M «& K. Tippecanoe County. 



Quite common on Purdue farm and on State Street, West Lafayette. 



All attempts to determine this species referred it to B. xquarrosus but 

 the description did not seem to fit it. Specimens were then sent to Prof. 

 Hitchcock who determined it as B. patiilus M. & K. In regard to it he
