I found in 1893, on waste ground, Kosciusko County, one specimen of Ipomve 

 hederacea Jacq., which is the only discovery of the species I can find north of 

 Central Indiana, nor is it reported from Michigan, to the north. 



A few specimens of Myriaphiillum heterophi/llum Michx., whicli I found in 

 Boydston's Lake, Kosciusko County, are the only plants of the species I can find 

 reported from the north part of the State, but from Steuben County, this region, 

 and from Lake County. 



I would add Kosciusko County as another locality, for four plants mentioned 

 in Dr. Stanley Coulter's paper- ' before the Academy last year, as occurring at 

 only one or two stations in the north part of the State. 



They are Liparis h<rsdii Richard.. Menyanthes irifoliata L., Aster untbellatits 

 Mill., and Gdlium boreale L. Other plants, not previously reported from the north 

 part of the State, or if so, only from Lake County, could be stated as having 

 been found in this Northeastern Indiana Lake Region. 



SOME GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. 



In this connection I would call attention to the listing of Pruiius Penii.-<ylva- 

 nicu L. f., in a list of the common timber trees of seven counties in this immediate 

 section.^" Is this not a mistake? Should it not he Primus scroti na Ehoh.'! P. 

 Pennsylvanica is not in Coulter's list, and is not reported from this region by any 

 list whatever other than this reference. It is marked ''very rare" from Central 

 Eastern Indiana, and also "rare along the lake shore," in Lake County. Beal & 

 Wheeler say in '"Michigan Flora," "Very abundant on sandy soil in the north 

 half of the State, but less common southward, where P. .ferotina takes its place." 

 P. serotina is surely the only wild cherry here which could be used for lumber 

 (the only other tree of this genus found here — P. Americana Mar-hall — being too 

 small), and should be substituted in the list referred to for P. Pi'nn<ylvanica. 



I would also call attention to some species listed by Bradner iS: Van Gorder, 

 which appear to me to be probable errors. 



Mr. Van Gorder lists from Noble County, " Hepaticu acntiloba DC, Liver 

 leaf, common"; as does also Mr. Bradner, from Steuben County, and neither list 

 H. triloba Chaix. In all my collecting in Kosciusko County I have never seen 

 H. acutHobi, while H. triloba is one of our most common spring plants. I am 

 well aware that the two species are apt to approach each other, and that transi- 

 tion forms are apt to be found, but am well acquainted with the two species, 

 having been able to find at Crawfordsville, Indiana, with close searching for two
