LEGUMINOSAE (Pulse Family) 

 Baptisia tinctoria (L.) R. Br. Wild Indigo 



In sterile, or acid, sandy or gravelly soil, and hence 

 particularly common and conspicuous, when in 

 bloom, on the sandy and gravelly benches of the 

 Allegheny valley, the bluffs along the road toward 

 Elko, Red House, Breed's run, Carrollton etc. 

 Lupinus perennis L. Wild Lupine 



In dry, sandy, acid or gravelly soil. Very rare. 

 Ridge above Peters run, Elko mountain, Jones hill. 

 The general absence of this species from the exten- 

 sive sterile and more or less acid sandy and gravelly 

 benches of the Allegheny valley is difficult to ex- 

 plain. Reported from Salamanca by Clinton. 

 Trifolium pratense L. Red Clover 



Frequent in rich soils and sometimes along road- 

 sides. Generally absent from most of the park area 

 proper. 

 Trifolium repens L. Creeping White Clover 



Roadsides, lawns and waste ground. Rare in the 

 park area but common in the agricultural region 

 surrounding the park. 

 Trifolium hybridum L. Alsike Clover 



In situations similar to T. pratense, but less fre- 

 quent. 

 Trifolium agrarium L. Yellow or Hop Clover 



Fields and roadsides, usually in poor soil. Fre- 

 quent. Irish run, Quaker Bridge, near Frecks etc. 

 Medicago sativa L. Alfalfa. 



Field and roadside near Limestone in the Tun- 

 ungwant valley. Apparently rare in this region.
