ested in the botany of Kentucky should be on the lookout for Y. fila- 

 mentosa since it has unquestionably escaped in other states and should 

 be expected to do so here although it is at present not known for the 

 state with certainty. 



Zigadeniis leimanthoides Gray is included in this discussion on the 

 basis of its distribution in the following states adjoining Kentucky: 

 Indiana, West Virginia and Tennessee (Deam, 1940; Strausbaugh and 

 Core, 1952; McGilliard, 1955 ) . The known distribution in these states 

 is such that there is not a very strong indication of its occurrence here. 

 Nevertheless, to fail to look for this species in the state would be un- 

 wise since already several quite unexpected finds have been made, 

 e.g., Trillium pimllum Michx. (Browne, 1961). 



One of the major lines of investigation in the future will be the 

 continued search for the above-named species. Since the botany of 

 Kentucky is still so incompletely known, it may be that some or all of 

 these species will be eventually found. The writer welcomes informa- 

 tion and/or inquiries from interested parties concerning these species. 



In connection with this work, examination of specimens of Lilia- 

 ceae was made in the following herbaria: University of Kentucky, 

 Department of Botany, University of Kentucky Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station, University of Cincinnati, the E. Lucy Braun Herbarium, 

 United States National Herbarium, Academy of Natural Sciences, 

 Philadelphia (PH), Gray Herbarium (GH), Arnold Arboretum Her- 

 barium, Missouri Botanical Garden Herbarium (MO), and the New 

 York Botanical Garden Herbarium ( NY ) . The writer wishes to express 

 his appreciation to the curators and staffs of these institutions for their 

 cooperation in making examination of specimens possible.
