Monroe: Wild Asters of Wisconsin 
91 
Aster amethystinus, Nutt. Rare; one colony known from pasture-land 
near De Koven Ave., Racine. The only station. 
Aster puniceus, L. Common; swamps, ditches and wet places. 
Aster prenanthoides, Muhl. Rare; roadside, along 12th Street, Racine. 
Not seen elsewhere. 
Aster laevis, L. Common; dry prairies and roadsides. 
Aster longifolius, Lam. Rare; swamps and moist woods. 
Aster sericeus, Vent. Rare; prairies and dry banks, Gatliff and Burling- 
ton, Racine County. 
Aster ptarmicoides, T. & G. Common; prairies. 
Aster ptarmicoides, T. & G., var. lutescens, Gray. Rare; a sheet in herb. 
of C. E. Monroe, Milwaukee, Wis., collected on prairie near 
Gatliff, Racine County. The writer has never seen this yellow- 
flowered form. 
Aster salicifolius, Lam. Common; low grounds. 
Aster paniculatus, Lam. Common; low grounds. 
Aster Faxoni, Porter. Rare; I include this on the statement of C. E. 
Monroe of Milwaukee, who has specimens of this species in his 
herbarium from Zion City, 111., and says it undoubtedly comes 
over the line into Kenosha County, although he has no specimens 
from our area. 
Aster diffusus, Ait. (A. lateriflorus, Britton) Common; roadsides and wood- 
borders. 
Aster diffusus, Ait. (A. lateriflorus, Britton) var. thyrsoideus, A. Gray. 
Common; roadsides and shaded thickets. 
Aster vimineus, Lam. Dr. Davis (2nd Suppl. List Parasitic Fungi of Wise., 
pg. 169) reports a Septoria on this host, collected at Racine. 
Aster multiflorus, Ait. Common; fields and roadsides, in dry soil. 
Aster commutatus, A. Gray (Syn. Fl. 1 : Part 2, 185, 1884) (A. incanopilosus, 
Sheldon). C. E. Monroe, Milwaukee reports having this speci- 
men collected by him west of Corliss, Racine Co., on C. M. & 
St. P. right of way. 
Aster angustus, T. & G. (Brachyactis angustus, Britton). Frequent; 
waste places, introduced from the west and spreading rapidly. 
Aster umbellatus, Mill. (Doellingeria umbellata, Nees.) Common; moist 
prairie thickets and low grounds. 
Mr. Wadmond’s collection of Asters, which has been submitted 
to the writer for examination, proves to contain a specimen of 
A. furcatus Burgess, from Kenosha County. This is possibly the 
species which Dr. Davis had previously identified under the name 
of A. corymbosus Ait., for which Professor Burgess’s name must be 
substituted. Its discovery in Kenosha County extends the pre- 
viously known range. 
The occurrence of typical A. vimineus at Racine is doubtful.
