ASCOMYCETES NEW TO THE FLORA OF INDIANA.? 
Bruce FINK and Sytvia C. Fuson, Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. - 
This work is presented as a contribution to a knowledge of the 
ascomycetes of Indiana. The collecting was begun by the authors in 
Union County, July 21, 1917, and most of the collections were made 
during August and September of the same summer in the following 
counties: Franklin, Hendricks, Montgomery, Parke, Tippecanoe, and 
Union. Thus far, about six hundred and twenty-five specimens have 
been brought together, representing thirty-eight counties. Of this num- 
ber, fifty-five were obtained from the herbarium of Purdue University 
and about the same number from the herbarium of Wabash College. 
It is the intention to record in this first paper a list of the ascomy- 
cetes found which have not been published previously for the State. 
Of these there are about one hundred and forty, including two new 
species. A second paper, which is to follow, will consist of an arrange- 
ment of all the ascomycetes now known to Indiana. 
The classification used in this paper follows that initiated by Bruce 
Fink in “The Ascomycetes of Ohio,’ published in Bulletin 5 of the 
Ohio Biological Survey, June, 1915. 
Full sets of the species are preserved in the herbaria of Bruce Fink 
and Sylvia C. Fuson, and a partial set was sent to the herbarium of 
Purdue University. 
Unless otherwise stated, all collections were made by the authors. 
Other collectors mentioned are H. W. Anderson, J. C. Arthur, F. E. 
Bryant, G. W. Clark, Miss Katherine Longhead, C. P. Orton, J. R. 
Schram, Miss Simonds, and M. B. Thomas. 
The authors are under obligations to the following persons for help 
in collecting, or for the furnishing of facilities for collecting: H. W. 
Anderson, J. C. Arthur, J. W. Clokey, A. N. Fuson, Mrs. A. N. Fuson, 
H. S. Jackson, C. A. Ludwig, D. P. Miller, John Miller, L. O. Overholtz, 
George A. Ross, J. M. Van Hook, and Miss Bernice Wren. We are also 
indebted to Dr. E. J. Durand and to Dr. C. L. Shear for determining 
some difficult species. 
The list of species not previously reported from Indiana follows.
