Butler University Botanical Studies

(1929-1964)

Edited by

Ray C. Friesner

The Butler University Botanical Studies journal was published by the Botany Department of Butler University, Indianapolis, Indiana, from 1929 to 1964. The scientific journal featured original papers primarily on plant ecology, taxonomy, and microbiology. The papers contain valuable historical studies, especially floristic surveys that document Indiana’s vegetation in past decades. Authors were Butler faculty, current and former master’s degree students and undergraduates, and other Indiana botanists. The journal was started by Stanley Cain, noted conservation biologist, and edited through most of its years of production by Ray C. Friesner, Butler’s first botanist and founder of the department in 1919. The journal was distributed to learned societies and libraries through exchange. During the years of the journal’s publication, the Butler University Botany Department had an active program of research and student training. 201 bachelor’s degrees and 75 master’s degrees in Botany were conferred during this period. Thirty-five of these graduates went on to earn doctorates at other institutions. The Botany Department attracted many notable faculty members and students. Distinguished faculty, in addition to Cain and Friesner , included John E. Potzger, a forest ecologist and palynologist, Willard Nelson Clute, co-founder of the American Fern Society, Marion T. Hall, former director of the Morton Arboretum, C. Mervin Palmer, Rex Webster, and John Pelton. Some of the former undergraduate and master’s students who made active contributions to the fields of botany and ecology include Dwight. W. Billings, Fay Kenoyer Daily, William A. Daily, Rexford Daudenmire, Francis Hueber, Frank McCormick, Scott McCoy, Robert Petty, Potzger, Helene Starcs, and Theodore Sperry. Cain, Daubenmire, Potzger, and Billings served as Presidents of the Ecological Society of America. Requests for use of materials, especially figures and tables for use in ecology text books, from the Butler University Botanical Studies continue to be granted.

THE CHARACEAE OF INDIANA-A PRELIMI­NARY REPORT*

COlBy FAY KENOYER DAILY upon cButler University ponels

It has been ·demonstrated by others that the study of algae 0 f growm Indiana in general has been neglected. In 1929 in an introduction to edge () a classified check list of the algae of Indiana, Dr. C.. JVL Palmer (5) should remarked, "Few papers have been publish~d giving the names of the This ill algae of Indiana." Also in 1932 after giving a phycological history of it Ollt () Indiana, Dr. B. H. Smith (7) observed, "This review of literature of the shows very clearly the meager amount of work which has been done to the on the algae in the state since the beginning fifty-five years ago." tion, tl~

These statements are especially" true of the Characeae, during the should study of which group Dr. B. W. Everman and H. W. Clark (3) noted, arrangl "Indeed there have been so few workers in the field and relatively by grin little material collected 'over the country generally that classi fication Specim is exceedingly difficult." This statement was made almost twenty-five short ti years ago, but tbe same co~dition still e~:ists, airy pI,

Recently a study of the Characeae of Nebraska was made by used fc Dr. v..ralter Kiener (4) and the author (2). Dr. Kiener made an C<luse c important contribution in collecting many new specimens from that are bes state, and he also made available herbarium specimens located at the paper a University of Nebraska. After a study of the available material, a wben L

key and descriptions were published. An attempt is now being made blotting by the author to make a similar taxonomic study of the Characeae of

If ilIndiana. One hundred and ten specimens have been assembled and

oratoryidentified, but it is desirable to have considerably more before at­

malin, ( tempting to prepare a key and descriptions. Since there is a wide

is that divergence in form with many intermediates within some species of

natural the Characeae, and since the division of these species complexes into

materia new species, varieties and forms seems to have caused a great deal of chief a(confusion in the past, the present paper uses only the species complex

natural name in such instances. Further division may be made at a later date

The three-fold purpose of this paper, then, is to report thc data concerning collections made in Indiana which have not already been published; to make an appeal for any specimens of the Characcac now extant; and to stimulate the collection 0 t new matcrial.

Concerning the latter, it might be well to make a tew comments upon collection of this group. The plants are generally found in ponds and Jakes or sluggishly flowing streams. They are usu,llly growing in less than ten feet at water and quite often are about thc edge of the water upon the moist soil of the shore. The whole plant should be obtained it it can be reached f r0111 the shore or by wading. This includes the rhizoidal portion which must be obtained by digging it OLlt ot the mud. This is not always possible, however, because some of the plants may be reached only by use of a "Chara rake" similar to the one recommended by Nordstedt (in Allen, 1). After collec­tion, the material should be washed gently to free it from debris, and should be laid out on paper to elry. Croweling should be ayoided when arranging the collection as some at the more brittle forms are crushed by grinding of stem against stem if they are overlapped a great deal. Specimens may be dried by first pressing the material lightly tor a short timc to somewhat flatten the mount and then storing in a warm, airy place to elry rapidly. However, they may be placed in a drier. used tor the flowcring plants it too much pressure is not applied to canse collapse of the cortex in the corticated forms. The N itelJeae are best prepared by floating out tile more delicate forms on suitable paper ancl covering with cotton cloth or wax paper. To spced drying, when using the latter, all excess moisture should be removed by blotting lightly.

1£ it were more convenient for the collector, any of the usual lab­oratory reagents tor preserving the algae, such as two per cent tor­malin, etc .. could be used. However, one disadvantage of this method is that usually one can only make small collections. The color and natural appearance of such collections are also impaired, making the material less desirable tor herbarium mounts when tinally dried. The chid advantage of this method is that tissue is preserved in a more natural state tor microscopic examination. It too much pressme and heat are avoided in thc fonner method, however, it is preferred as the tissue will resume its normal condition when soakecl in water or vinegar or any other suitable dilute acid usually used in removing the lime on incrusted forms.

In reporting the new collections below, the herbaria in which they may be found are indicated as follows :-BU, Butler University; CM, Chicago Natural History IVlnseul11; IU, Indiana University; DU, DePauw University. (Duplicates of some collections are avail­able for further distribution.)

When specimens are listed as "probably" C. contraria" etc., this means that the condition of the material is such that complete obser­vations were impossible. However, enough characteristics have been observed to be reasonably sure of the identification.

The author wishes to acknowledge the aid of Dr. Ray C. Friesner for making available the facilities of the Butler University Botany Department; Dr. Francis Drollet of the Chicago Natural History ~Iuseum, Dr. Charles C. Deam of Bluffton, Indiana, Dr. '''/inona H. Welch of DePauw University, Dr. Naomi Mullendore of Franklin College, and Miss Rosalie Weikert of the New York Botanical Gar­den' for the loan or gift of specimens; Dr. C Mervin Palmer, Dr. John E. Potzger, and Mr. William A. Daily, all of Butler University, for many kindnesses rendered.
