FLOWERING PLANTS AND FEKNS OF INDIANA. 811 



L. angustifolia (Pursh) Ell. Narrow-leaved Bush-clover. 



First collected by Mr. W. S. Blatchley, growing- i n ,] rv prairies 

 in Vigo County and reported as rare. Collected in 1896 in Tippe- 

 canoe County by Miss Cunningham. Reported also Erom Cass 

 by Dr. Ilessler, with following note: "A single large, bushy plant 

 was found along the railroad, east of Lake Cicott; perhaps a 

 migrant." 



Flowers in August in our range. 



VICIA L. 



V. Cracca L. Tufted or Cow Vetch. 



Throughout the State, growing in dry soil. Not nearly so 

 abundant as succeeding species. 

 Flowers in June and July. 

 Steuben (Bradner); Tippecanoe (Coulter). 



V. Americana Muhl. American Vetch. Pea-vine. 



Restricted to moist lowlands in the northern part of the State. 



Flowers from June to August. 



Kosciusko (Coulter); Noble (Van Gorder). 



V. Caroliniana Walt. Carolina Vetch. 



River banks and along the margins of lakes. Occasionally 

 found on wet cliffs.

Cass (Hessler); Franklin (Meyncke); St. Joseph (Rothert): 

 Washington (Barnes); Clark (Baird and Taylor); Tippecanoe 

 (Coulter); Steuben (Bradner). 



LATHYRUS L. 



L. MARiTiMua (L.) Bigel. Beach Pea. Seaside Pea. 



This form is naturally confined to the shores of Lake Michigan, 

 where its significance as a character plant of certain beach 

 stretches and in dune building has been indicated by Dr. Cowles. 

 It occurs in Lake and Porter counties. Added to the flora by 

 Rev. E. J Hill. 



L. VEN08U8 Mubl. Veiny Pea. 



The only record for the State that I am able to find is from 

 Noble County, where the form was collected by Superintendent 

 Van Gorder, from whom abundant herbarium material was se- 

 cured. Britton and Brown mention Indiana specifically in giving 

 the range of the plant. I scarcely believe it to be of general 

 occurrence.
