found it reported from Lake County "rare," from Central Eastern Indiana^® 

 " rare," but more common in Noble County- ' and Steuben County than elsewhere, 

 showing that this lake region must offer peculiar suitable conditions for its growth. 



Trifolium L/ybridum L. is fast becoming common in this flora, and is mixing 

 so with Trifolium repens L., it seems quite impossible to find T. repens very often 

 true to the type. It is reported from the other counties of this region as quite 

 common, while to the northwest, in Lake County, it is listed as infrequent, as also 

 in Beal & Wheeler's "Michigan Flora." 



Boutelona racemosa Lag. I found this last summer (189^), on a hillside in 

 Winona Park, Kosciusko County ; very abundant in one plat about one rod 

 square, but seen nowhere else. It is not listed by Troop in his "Grasses of Indi- 

 ana,"-** nor do I find it listed anywhere from Indiana except by Bradner, from 

 Steuben County, in this region. 



Eleocharis (juudrangulata K. Br., is not listed by Dr. Coulter, but is marked 

 "rare" in the Manual. This was found last summer (1890) in Winona Lake; 

 quite abundant in one locality. It is reported from South Michigan as rare, and 

 from Steuben County by Bradner. Outside of these two reports from this region, 

 I find only one other report from Indiana, and that in the appendix to the Lake 

 County list, iii one locality only. 



PLANTS IN coulter's LIST, BUT NKW TO OR RARE IN THIS REGION. 



Eleocharis avaia R. Br., though given in Coulter's List as common to the State, 

 is not reported in any local list of the south part of the State at my command, and 

 is "infrequent" in Michigan to the north, but I found a few specimens at Winona 

 Lake, Kosciusko County, and it is reported from Steuben County, this region. 

 This northeast part of Indiana would seem to be more suited to it than other parts 

 of the vState. It is " very infrequent " in Lake County. 



Hibiscus Moschentos L. is only reported from the "knobs" in Coulter's list, and 

 I can find no other report of it from this State than in Lake County. I found a 

 large clump of it on the Tippecanoe River, Kosciusko County, in 1893. 



In- 1894 I found about six plants of Parietaria Pennsylvanica Muht., on a sandy 

 shore of Turkey Lake, Kosciusko County. Coulter's list reports it only from the 

 banks of the Ohio. 1 can find no other locality in the State from which it is re- 

 ported, except from Lake County, and then marked "rare."
