*48. Pyrus communis L. Scrub Pear. 



Hamilton and Putnam counties, in red clay soil. Within the course of 

 a few years abandoned fields in the hill counties are covered with a 

 growth of blackberries, hickory and pears. Fruiting trees are not un- 

 common. 



•■49. Amygdalis persica L. Peach. 



Putnam County. A number of bearing trees are to be found about the 

 dumps and in the woods where seeds have been thrown. 



50. Bahtisia tinrtoria (L.) R. Br. Wild Indigo. 



Tippecanoe County. A single plant of this species was found late in 

 the fall at the brow of a hill in company with Aiulropogon and Lithosper- 

 mum. The only locality given in the State Catalogue is Steuben County, 

 (p. 799.) 



51. Geranium pusilum Burm. f. Small-flowered Cranes-bill. 



In the Proceedings of the Academy for 1903 (p. 118) Mr. Dorner says: 

 "In the summer of 1902, this Avas found growing among the grass on the 

 Experiment Station grounds. This one collection, however, without any 

 additional observations is hardly enough to admit it to the State flora." 

 The station in question appears to be well established and spreading, 

 exterminating the grass. 



*52. Oxalis corniculata L. Yellow Procumbent Wood-sorrel. 



Putnam County, along the Big Pour Railroad west of Greencastle. 

 Britton gives the range of this species as "in ballast about eastern sea- 

 ports, and frequently growing on the ground in greenhouses * * * 

 Recently found in Ontario." The plant is also found in the warm regions 

 of both hemispheres.
