436 Lake Maxinkuckee, Physical and Biological Survey 



791. DAISY FLEABANE 



ERIGERON RAMOSUS (Walt.) B. S. P. 



Quite similar to E. annuus and of the same distribution, but 

 more often found along* the edges of woodlands. Apparently not 

 so common as the preceding. 



792. HORSE-WEED; CANADA FLEABANE 



LEPTILON CANADENSE (L.) Britton 



Common along shore and elsewhere; often almost completely 

 occupying old neglected fields. Fields full of these weeds were 

 found on both sides of the lake, but it does not appear to be a bad 

 weed. One of the most variable in size of our plants, perfect speci- 

 mens ranging from about three inches to nearly six feet high. It 

 occurs on shore all around the lake. Like the other common eri- 

 gerons the young plant passes the winter in the form of a rosette, 

 the most attractive stage of the plant, for during autumn and 

 spring this rosette usually assumes a rich purple color. It some- 

 times continues blossoming quite late in autumn. In 1904 they 

 were noted in flower as late as November 13. 



793. TALL FLAT-TOP WHITE ASTER 



DOELLINGERIA UMBELLATA (Mill.) Necs 



Quite common in flat open places south of Farrar's along the 

 road, in moist ground. A tall homely weed. 



794. STIFF-LEAVED ASTER 



IONACTIS LINARI1FOLIUS (L.) Greene 



Found only on the bank east of Lost Lake south of the Bardsley 

 cottage, where it was quite abundant. 



795. PLANTAIN-LEAF EVERLASTING 



ANTENNARIA PLANTAGINIFOLIA (L.) Richards 



Rather common, in patches in various open dry situations. 

 April 9, buds show well. April 22, nearly in flower southwest of 

 the lake along the railroad. April 30 some in flower north of the 

 lake. May 4, fully in blossom. Found also back of Lakeview 

 Hotel. 



An interesting feature of this species is the fact that the plants 

 of a patch are usually either all pistillate or all staminate, each 

 patch having arisen from one or a few plants by means of under- 

 ground stolons. The plants are exceedingly variable in size and
