https://doi.org/10.17348/jbrit.v19.i3.1427Keywords:
Indiana flora, Cyperus nipponicus, county records, state records, North American recordAbstract
Recent collections by the authors and others have yielded a new North American record, 38 additional new vascular plant state records for Indiana, and an additional five collections deemed noteworthy due to being recent observations of species that were considered extirpated from Indiana when they were discovered. Voucher specimens for all new records reside at various herbaria.
