In the herbarium of the Missouri Botanical Garden there is a sheet of this 
species with an old label “Owybaphus nyctaginia Nuttall. Vennassee ad ripas.” 
It is barely possible that this may be one of the specimens from which the plant 
was first described, for this is the locality given with the original description.
