ZONAL DISTRIBUTION: Transition. 
This species varies considerably, especially in the pubescence and the thickness of the 
leaves. Woodland forms tend to be thinner-leaved than the prairie form, and are usually 
more pubescent beneath. All gradations seem to occur between plants with leaves per- 
fectly glabrous beneath and those which are quite pubescent. According to Fernald,« 
the latter is the typical S. racemosa Michx., while the perfectly smooth form he considers 
a subspecies, S. racemosa laevigata Fernald.
