NATIVE PLANTS OF WHITE COUNTY—III. 
Louis F. Hermiicu, Purdue University. 
The author’s first report of native plants of White County was that of 
a single species, which at the time of publication was the first record of that 
plant for the state. The title of the paper is “The Primrose-leaved Violet 
in White County” and it appears in the Proceedings of the Indiana Academy 
of Science, 1914, pages 213-217. 
The second report of native plants of White County is included in a 
thesis, written for the M.S., degree, Purdue University, 1916, and pub- 
lished in the Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science, 1917, pages 
387-471. subject: The Trees of White County, Indiana, with some Reference 
to Those of the State. Included in the list of trees are also a number of 
native shrubs. The total number of species reported in the thesis is sey- 
enty-nine species and two varieties. 
The list below includes one hundred and twenty species classified as one 
hundred fifteen species of herbs and five species of shrubs or woody vines. 
The author has made no attempt to collect plants below the Araceae. He 
also realizes that the list is very far from complete. Nearly all of the 
species here reported are represented by herbarium specimens. Most of 
the species were collected in Honey Creek Township about the vicinity of 
Reynolds. The nomenclature is that of Gray’s New Manual of Botany, 
seventh Edition. The plants are listed in their natural order, followed by 
brief notes relating to distribution, abundance, etc. When no data is 
attached, it is understood that the species is more or less common in 
Honey Creek Township. The list contains many species which are not 
native but are more or less well established. Their origin, according to 
Gray, is mentioned in each case. The list follows.
