310 Lake Maxinkuckee, Physical and Biological Survey 



Oddly enough he appears never to have struck the same plan on 

 the wild touch-me-not, a blossom similarly built in this respect, 

 though almost every country child knows the trick with the touch- 

 me-not but never tries it on the columbine. 



339. LONG-FRUITED ANEMONE 



ANEMONE CYLINDRICA A. Gray 



Not very common; found growing on sandy hillsides. Both 

 this and the following have the seeds coated with a peculiar wool. 

 Rather common about Eagle, or Winona Lake, at Warsaw, Indiana. 



340. TALL ANEMONE 



ANEMONE VIRGINIANA L. 



Quite common at edges of woodlands and on open hillsides; 

 found on the hill between the Culver railroad bridge and the depot, 

 by Overmyer's, along the railroad by the icehouses where it 

 was in flower June 21, and on the shore by Walter Knapp's 

 where it was seen in fruit October 28, 1904. The flowers are 

 rather large, but inconspicuous and homely. The seeds remain at- 

 tached to the columella until worn off by age. It is difficult to see 

 how the dense pinky wool assists in the distribution of the seed 

 as it offers little surface to the air. It would be very odd, but 

 not in the least surprising, to find that they depended for distribu- 

 tion on their chance of being used as a downy lining for the nests 

 of mammals and birds. 



341. WIND-FLOWER; SNOW-DROPS; WILD ANEMONE 



ANEMONE QUINQUEFOLIA L. 



One of the most dainty members of our flora, growing shyly 

 in shaded places in woodlands, the face of the sepals white, the 

 backs a rich purplish pink. April 26, 1901, just coming up, 

 Farrar's woods ; April 30, in flower, east side ; May 3, a good deal 

 seen in flower, west side. May 5, a good deal in flower near 

 ScovelPs; May 16, still in blossom, Farrar's woods. 



342. ROUND-LOBED LIVERWORT; ROUND-LOBED LIVER-LEAF 



HEPATICA HEPATICA (L.) Karst. 



Generally speaking, a rather rare form in the state, though tol- 

 erably abundant in a few counties. It closely resembles the other, 

 a well known form through the state, differing principally in the 

 rounded lobes of the leaf. Rather common about the lake; found 

 on the east side north of Aubeenaubee Creek, by Overmyer's woods, 

 and at Long Point. Noted in blossom from April 5 to May 17.
