'Tojieldia glutinosa Willd. Swamp east of Lake Cicott; rare. 



Melanthium Virginicumlj. Bunch Flower. With the last; rare. The swamp 

 about one mile east of Lake Cicott, although containing only a few acres, is re- 

 markable for the number of rare species occurring in it. Melanthium and 

 Tofieldia were not seen elsewhere; the former is a tall plant, not readily over- 

 looked, while the latter is (juite small. 



Tradescantia. The fojm with smooth leaves, few in number, is very common 

 in sandy soils, especially east of Lake Cicott, and blooms early in the spring. The 

 form with hairy leaves and blooming later is rare and was seen in drift soils only.

 Monteray.

 here plentiful. Not in Coulter's Catalogue.

 paper. (Have seen plants in Turkey Lake, in Kosciusko County.)

 with Slinging hair, occur in a wet meadow on the edge of a thicket near the old 

 canal, three miles west of Logansport. The specimens taken were not in bloom, 

 and hence the doubt about their identity. 



Zizania. Water, or Wild Rice. No notes on its occurrence ; absent?

 dirt, chiefly peat, thrown out in making a ditch through the tamarack swamp
