Oichorium Intybus L. Reported from Noble county by W. B. Van (Torder. 

 This form escapes readily from cultivation, and to my personal knowledge has 

 made a foothold for itself in several localities in the State. This is notably true 

 in Jefferson county. The only specimens, however, are from Noble county. 



Hieraeium Canadense Michx. Reported from Lake county by E. J. Hill. 

 The form will probably be found to be confined to the northern counties in favor- 

 able localities, its mass distribution being northerly. 



Hi-eraciitm longipilum Torr. ''Prairies and open woods, common,'"- Gibson 

 and Posey counties, Dr. J. Schneck. From the north. 



Prenanthes serpentaria Pursh. Listed from Clark county by Baird and Taylor. 

 No specimens have been examined. The species is eastern in its distribution, 

 and the reference is probably incorrect. Excluded from the State flora in absence 

 of verifying specimens. 



The following forms seem to be limited within the State to the northern 

 counties : 



Solidago stricta Ait. Reported from St. .Joseph county by Dr. V. R. Barnes, 

 and from Noble county by W. B. Van Gorder. From the north, and probably to 

 be found in favoring localities in low, damp ground in the northern tier of 

 counties. 



Solidago uliginosa Nutt. Lake, St. Joseph and Noble counties. 



SoHdago Riddellii Frank, Reported from Noble county by W. B. Van Gor- 

 der; from Tippecanoe county by Prof. Hussey; from .Jay, Delaware, Randolph 

 and Wayne by Dr. Phinney. Tlie Noble county reference is well authenticated 

 and sufficient to admit form to State flora. The Tippecanoe county specimen is 

 unsatisfactory, being both scant and incomplete. No special feature excludes it 

 from the reference, nor, on the other hand, does any marked character require 

 the reference. I am inclined to think the Tippecanoe county specimen, <S'. Ohio- 

 ensis, Riddell, a species of known occurrence in the county. Dr. Phinney's 

 specimens are not accessible. As it stands. Noble county is the only authenticated 

 station for the species. 



Solidago tenuifolia Pursh. Reported from Jasper county by Dr. C. R. Barnes, 

 and authenticated by abundant specimens in the Purdue herbarium. Also 

 included by Dr. Phinney in his list of Jay, Delaware, Wayne and Randolph 

 counties. 



Coreopsin palmata, Nutt. Laporte and St. .Joseph counties, reported by Dr. 

 Barnes. Specimens in Purdue herbarium. Probably from the northwest.
