Osmorhiza longistylis var. villicaulis Fernald. From Gibson, John- 

 son, Knox, Laporte, Marion, Noble, Posey, Warren and Wayne coun- 

 ties. The variety is almost as frequent as the smooth form. 



Myosotis macrosperma Engelm. Daviess County, June 4, 1923. No. 

 38,651. In a low woods on the John Kehoe farm about one and a half 

 miles northeast of Glendale. 



Nepeta hederacea var. parvi flora (Benth.) Druce. Fernald calls at- 

 tention in Rhodora Vol. 23:289:1921 to two forms of the ground ivy. 

 The small-flowered form (var. parviflora) is our common form and I 

 have it from Bartholomew, Blackford, Carroll, Decatur, Elkhart, Floyd, 

 Fountain, Hendricks, Huntington, Knox, Marion, Miami, Monroe, Mor- 

 gan, Tippecanoe, Wabash and Wells counties. The large-flowered form 

 (the type of the species) is rare in Indiana. I have it only from Clark, 

 Hamilton and Randolph counties. 



Penstemon spp. The forms of this genus reported for Indiana 

 under the names of Penstemon laevigatus, P. pubescens var. laevigatiis, 

 P. Penstemon; and Penstemon Digitalis and P. leavigatus var. Digitalis 

 are represented by five instead of two species. Since the forms reported 

 represent a complex, it will be necessary in the total absence of verify- 

 ing specimens to disregard the old reports and start anew. I will report 

 the stations I have of the four species and the fifth will be described 

 later by Mr. F. W. Pennell. 



Penstemon calycosus Small. I have this species from Crawford, 

 Daviess, Dearborn, Decatur, Dubois, Fayette, Greene, Hancock, Hen- 

 dricks, Jackson, Jennings, Johnson, Lawrence, Martin, Morgan, Owen, 

 Perry, Putnam, Randolph, Rush, Shelby, Spencer and Washington coun- 

 ties. 



Penstemon digitalis (Sweet) Nutt. I have this species from Black- 

 ford, Clark, Franklin, Gibson, Hancock, Knox, Lake, Marion, Newton, 

 Owen, Ripley and Wells counties. 



Penstemon laevigatus Ait. This is a common species and I have it 

 from Adams, Bartholomew, Blackford, Delaware, Dubois, Elkhart, Foun- 

 tain, Gibson, Grant, Jackson, Jefi'erson, Jennings, Knox, Lake, Madison, 

 Marion, "Martin, Orange, Owen, Po.sey Randolph, Ripley, Scott, Shelby 

 (Mrs. Chas. C. Deam), Spencer, Vanderburgh and Wells counties.
