FLOWERING PLANTS AND FERNS OF INDIANA. S13 



APIOS Moench. 



A. Apios (L.) MacM. Ground-nut. 



(A. tuberosa Moench.) 



Low, wet grounds in many counties, preferring rich soils. 



Flowers from July to September. 



Monroe and Vigo (Blatchley); Kosciusko (Coulter); Putnam 

 (MacDougal); Tippecanoe (Cunningham); Gibson and Posey 

 (Schneck); Clark (Baird and Taylor); Dearborn (Collins); Frank- 

 lin (Meyncke); Jay, Delaware, Eandolph, and Wayne (Phinney); 

 Noble (Van Gorder); Fayette (Hessler); Hamilton (Wilson); 

 Steuben (Bradner). 



The reports show the form to be more abundant in the north- 

 ern part of its range, and especially so in the marshy thickets 

 surrounding small lakes. In almost all of the southern counties 

 it is relatively rare. 



GALACTIA P. Br. 



G. regularis (L.) B. S. P. Milk Pea. 



(G. glabella Michx.) 



Reported only by Dr. A. J. Phinney as occurring in the region 



embracing Jay, Delaware, Piandolph, and Wayne counties. It is 



found in dry, rather sandy soils, flowering in July. I was able 



last season to secure specimens of this form from Wayne County. 



G. volubilis (L ) Britton. Downy Milk Pea. 



((?. pilosa Ell.) 

 Reported only from two counties, so far as I am able to dis- 

 cover. In both instances it occurred in dry, sandy or gravelly soil. 

 It flowers with us in July. 

 Putnam (MacDougal); Kosciusko (Coulter). 



PHASEOLUS L. 



P. poly8tachyus (L.) B. S. P. Wild Bean. Bean Vine. 



(P. perennis Walt.) 



Common in localities in which it is found. Its most common 

 habitat is in woods and thickets, seemingly having a wide soil 

 range, but requiring shade. 



Flowers in July and August. 



Tippecanoe (Cunningham); Jefferson (J. M. Coulter); Dear- 

 born (Collins); Gibson and Posey (Schneck); Noble (Van Gor- 

 der); Clark (Baird and Taylor); Monroe (Blatchley); Hamilton 

 and Marion (Wilson); Steuben (Bradner).
