28. HuiiudiiK hipulus L. Hop. 



This species is given in tlae State Catalogue as an escape from cultiva- 

 lion, which is doubtless true of some of the stations of this plant within 

 the State. In other localities it is evidently a native. Among these is a 

 region, of very low bottom laud near White River in Hamilton County, 

 Avhere wild hops of a good quality are by no means rare. Some of the 

 older residents of the county say that in the days when the greater part of 

 this I'egion was still unsettled that annual trips were made to the swamps 

 of this region for the purpose of gathering the family supply of hops. 

 This region furnished the hop A'ines which are still growing at some of 

 the older homesteads.
