this “slough” at Whiting. Utricularia is well represented in 
the pine barrens of Lake county, where I have found besides the 
above, U. vulgaris, var. Americana, U. gibba, U. purpurea, and 
U. cornuta. U. intermedia has been reported, but I have not 
found it, except farther north in Michigan. 
t Chesterton, in the low grounds by the Calumet river, oc- 
cur plants of Viola striata, Aiton, with white flowers and crenate- 
serrate leaves, approaching V. canina, L. var. Sylvatica, Regel, 
in its leaves. Lespedeza capitata, Michx. var. Leaflets linear- 
lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate, strongly reticulated, glabrous 
above. Lower peduncles often elongated to } to ¢ inch; stem 
slender and but little branched: Approaches in character L. 
angustifolia, Elliott, (L. capitata, var. angustifolia, Gray), but 
asalso characteristics of L. capitata,var. longifolia, Torr. & Gray 
(Flora of N. A., vol. 1, p. 368). 
espedeza capitata, Michx., var. Leaflets linear-oblong, 
densely silky canescent on both sides, shining ; stem densely vil- 
ose, not much branched, but more so than in the common form 
of the above variety. Otherwise it does not seem to be distinct 
from L. capitata, var. sericea, Hook & Arnot, in Torr. & Gray’s 
Flora of N. A. (vol. 1, p. 369). The shape of the leaflets is in- 
termediate between the first variety and the common form. The 
peduncles of the lower flowers are inclined to lengthen, as in L. 
Both of these grow with the common I. eapitata, ve et 
longifolia, Torr. & Gray, is not easy to determine, bat the former 
seems preferable. The range of L. angustifolia is given in 
Gray’s Manual as “ near the coast and southward ;” that of L. 
capitata, var. longifolia, “ Kentucky to Louisiana ;” (Flora of N. 
A.) The second variety is so near L. capitata, var. sericea, that 
little is risked in classing it with that, the main discrepancy con- 
Astana,” Drummond ; Arkansas, Nuttall! Dr. Pitcher!’ (Flora 
: of N. A.) It would seem that we have near the head of Lake 
_ Michigan the connecting links between L capitata and two 0!
