In regard to species included and excluded, the list is limited as follows: 



(a. ) To phanerograms or Howering plants. 



"(b.) Plants new to Indiana, /. e., plants not given in Coulter's Catalogue of 

 the Plants of Indiana. 



ic.) Plants rare in Indiana, or locally distributed, according to the above 

 catalogue. 



(d.) Plants noteworthy for some particular reason. 



(e.) Excluded species are those common throughout the State and which 

 may be seen at any time. At the suggestion of Prof. Stanley Coulter, however, 

 some species have been mentioned on account of their rarity or absence, an ab- 

 sence well marked to one accustomed to note the plants about him. 



The nomenclature is that of the sixth edition of Gray's Manual, as at present 

 used by the State Biological Survey. For the benefit of the reader not familiar 

 with the botanical names the common English names have been added. 



Specimens of species mentioned, unless common in other parts of the State, 

 are in my herbarium. A set comprising those new to the State, and a number of 

 the rarer ones, has been presented to the Biological Survey. In case of doubt as 

 to the identity of a species, critical comparisons were made with the specimens in 

 the herbarium of Purdue University. My thanks are due to Prof. Stanley Coulter 

 for his kind assistance in making comparisons and in determining several species 

 which were in leaf only. 



Anemone Pennsylvanica L. General but nowhere abundant. 



Anemonella thalictroides Spach. Rue Anemone. Common in sandy soils west 

 and north, rare in drift soils. 



Thalictrum poii/gamum Muh\. Tall Meadow Rue. Seen occasionally in wet 

 soils about the lakes. 



Ranunculus multijidus, var. terrestris, G. Two plants only found in a dried-up 

 pool on the western border of Lake Maxinkuckee. None of the leaves were fili- 

 form. 



Ranunculus sceleratus L. Cursed Crowfoot. Frequent in the brooks about 

 Logansport ; not seen at the lakes. 



Isopyrum hiternatum T. and G. Plentiful in beech woods, rare in sandy soil 



woods.
