CHAM,ENERION. 



C. ANGUSTi folium (L ) Scop. Great Willow Herb. Fire- weed. Fire- 

 pink. 



(Epilobium angustifolium L.) 



This striking form is so far as reported confined to low grounds 

 in the northern parts of the State. It is apt to occur where tracts 

 have been burnt over, or in fresh clearings. Its appearance in 

 burnt areas has given it the name of fire-weed, It is cultivated 

 somewhat largely in parks, especially where "mass effects" are de- 

 sired.

 Laporte (Barnes); Steuben (Bradner). 



The Tippecanoe County reference is verified by abundant her- 

 barium material. It has however not been reported in the past 

 twelve years, although several complete studies have been made 

 of the flora of the county during that period.
