Relation of annual ring formation to rainfall as illustrated in six species of trees in Marshall county, Indiana

The relation of growth curves to rainfall is not a simple one. Such factors as the following enter to make the relation complex: the time of year when the rains come, the proportion which comes during the growing season, how well they are distributed over the growing season, the topography and its relation to run-off, the character of the soil and its ability to store water from times of abundant to tirnes of inadequate rainfall

A study of asymmetrical growth from the stumps of Quercus velutina

While securing the material for a study of the relation of rainfall to growth in several species of Quercus it was noted that many stump sections showed a decided asymmetrical growth with the organic center of the section far removed from the geometric center. This led to an inquiry into the factors involved in producing asymmetrical growth in these trees

The genus Trillium in Indiana

The fact that members of the genus Trillium are quite variable is well borne out when one notes the number of reports of variations and teratological conditions in the literature. Such conditions make it important that more detailed critical study be made of members of the genus from the standpoint of their distribution and variation in smaller areas. Studies of the species occurring in wider areas were made by Gleason (19) and Gates (18). More detailed study of particular species in more restricted areas is of considerable value in adding light to the problem of species relationship and delimitation. Such a study was made for North and South Carolina by Peattie (26). The present paper is a similar attempt for the state of Indiana

Some necessary nomenclatorial changes in the genus Solidago

While attempting to bring all species and varieties of Solidago in North America into one key the necessity fur the following name changes became apparent

Rafinesque and the Taxonomy of Indiana Vascular Plants

In a previous paper a general summaraizing treatment of the relation of Rafinesque\u27s work to the taxonomy of Indiana vascular plants was given. The object of the present paper is to cite in a more detailed manner the bases for the earlier statements. The present data are based upon Merrill\u27s Index Rafinesquianus and a number of Rafinesque\u27s own publications

Dendrometer studies on five species of broadleaf trees in Indiana

Observations on Fagus grandifolia extend throughout the calendar year 1941, those all Ulmus fu!va began on April 14, and those on the other species began on March 3. In all cases observations included in the present discussion ended on December 22, 1941
