=Quercus nìgra= Linnæus. Water Oak. This species has been reported by several authors for Indiana. It is believed that a majority of the records should be transferred to _velutina_ and _imbricaria_ or _marylandica_. Gorby and Schneck call _Quercus nigra_ black jack oak, which is generally the common name for _Quercus marilandica_. Ridgway in his writings of the flora of the lower Wabash Valley, likewise speaks of _Quercus nigra_ as jack oak and says it is found in poor soil. Coulter in his catalogue of Indiana plants regarded these references to _nigra_ as errors and did not include it in his list. The report for Crawford County by Deam should be transferred to _marilandica_. Since the range of the species is not north of Kentucky, the reference to the species in the State should be dropped. The published records are as follows: Carroll (Thompson); Crawford (Deam); Delaware, Jay, Randolph and Wayne (Phinney); Jay (McCaslin); Fountain (Brown); Miami (Gorby); Parke (Hobbs). =Quercus Phéllos= Linnæus. Willow Oak. This species has been reported from various counties of the State. The tree is said to grow in swamps and on sandy uplands, ranging from Staten Island, New York, south to Florida and west to Texas, and north to southern Kentucky. If it occurs within our area it no doubt would have been found by Dr. Schneck, who was an enthusiastic student of the oaks. He reported it as occurring in the lower Wabash in his early writings, but his herbarium contained no specimens. The writer while in search for this species in Posey County met three men in widely separated parts of the county who were acquainted with the species in the South and they said they had never seen it in Indiana. One of the men was an old man who had spent his boyhood in Arkansas and he was well acquainted with the willow oak before he came to Indiana. It is believed what has been reported for _Q. Phellos_ has been narrow-leaved forms of _Q. imbricaria_ (shingle oak), and that the records should be transferred to that species. The published records are as follows: Gibson, Knox and Posey (Schneck); Knox (Thomas); Miami (Gorby). =Quercus prinoìdes= Willdenow. Scrub or Dwarf Chestnut Oak. Reported for Marshall County by Nieuwland[86] on the authority of a specimen deposited in the National Museum collected by Clark. I had this reference checked by E. S. Steele and in a letter to me dated January 4, 1917, he says: "I find no specimen labeled _Quercus prinoides_, but there is one named _Q. Prinus_. There is no ground for calling it _Q. prinoides_." Since the specimen in question is a very immature one, I propose not to take it into consideration since the range of the species would be extended on a dubious specimen.
