Differing from typical J. Gerardi in its large flowers and elongated 
pedicels, the perianths of the typical form of the species being 2-3 
(rarely 3.5) mm. long, and the flowers mostly sessile or merely short- 
pedicelled. "The extreme material of var. pedicellatus is very large, 
nearly 1 m. high, but other plants are low (about 3.5 dm.). The 
inflorescence, too, is longer than in most J. Gerardi, in which the 
inflorescence varies from 0.1-1 (rarely to 1.5) dm. long.—M. L. 
FERNALD, Gray Herbarium.
