Bush — The Texas Tradescantias. 187 



Florida, west to Texas, north to Missouri, Kansas, Michigan 

 and Minnesota, east to Illinois and Ohio. May to July. 



This species may be readily recognized by its robust sterns 

 and leaves, which are almost always very glaucous, and by its 

 glabrous umbels. The Indian Territory specimens collected 

 by Bigelow are referred by Dr. Rose to his T. scopulorum, 

 but they appear to me better referable to T. reflexa, as they 

 have stouter stems, larger leaves, larger umbels and much 

 longer sepals than T. scopulorum, and exactly match Small's 

 Oconee and Gwinnett Counties, Georgia, specimens, which 

 are labeled T. pilosa.
