lobes to 15 mm. long; corolla pink to deep-rose-color; corolla lobes elliptic to 

 oblanceolate or spatulate, obtuse to acute, to 3 cm. long and 1 cm. wide; stigmatic 

 lobes 4-7 mm. long; capsule ovoid, to 10 mm. long and 6 mm. in diameter. 



In boggy or wet pinelands, pitcher plant bogs and savannahs in s.e. Tex., May- 

 Aug.; from N.C.. s. to Fla. and Tex. 



2. Sabafia dodecandra (L.) B.S.P. Large marsh-pink. Fig. 625. 



Perennial to about 7 dm. high, rhizomatous and stoloniferous, with alternate 

 branches or dichotomous above the middle; leaves narrowly elliptic to lanceolate, 

 2-5 cm. long, obtuse to acute or subacuminate; flowers 8- to 12-merous; calyx 

 lobes lanceolate, 1-3 mm. wide, conspicuously 3- or 5-nerved; corolla lobes pink 

 or whitish, yellow at the base, narrowly oblanceolate to somewhat spatulate, 15-22 

 mm. long, 4-9 cm. wide. 



In s.e. Tex., June-Aug.; from S.C. to Tex. 



Our plants are referable to var. foUosa (Fern.) Wilbur, characterized by having 

 internodes that are equal to or shorter than the subtending leaves, stolons present, 

 and growing in depressions in open woods, marshy areas, about ponds and on 

 stream margins and in ditches. Var. dodecandra is typically coastal where it occurs 

 in brackish habitats on the Atl. Coast. 



3. Sabatia angularis (L.) Pursh. Rose-pink, bitter-bloom. 



Erect annual to 7 dm. tall, with simple strongly 4-angled slightly winged stems 

 or bushy-branched; cauline leaves membranous, the lower suborbicular, the middle 

 and upper cordate-ovate, clasping, 3- to 7-nerved, to 3 cm. long and 25 mm. 

 wide; calyx tube about 1.5 mm. long, the thin lobes narrowed above middle and 

 about 1 cm. long; corolla pink or roseate, delicately fragrant; corolla lobes oblong 

 to obovate or elliptic, obtuse, to about 2 cm. long; stigmatic lobes slender, 3-6 

 mm. long; capsule to 8 mm. long and 5 mm. wide. 



In open pine-hardwood flats, marshlands and edge of woods in e. Tex. and 

 Okla. {Waterfall), May-July; N.Y., w. to 111. and s. to Fla. and Tex. 



4. Sabatia campestris Nutt. 



Erect annual to 5 dm. tall, usually much smaller; stem with few or no branches 

 on lower half but with several simple or forking mostly alternate branches above; 

 leaves membranous, oblong-elliptic to broadly ovate-elliptic, obtuse to acute, 

 broadly clasping stem, to 45 mm. long and 2 cm. wide; calyx tube to 8 mm. long, 

 strongly pentagonal with 5 short wing-angles extending up to the sinuses, its 3- 

 nerved lobes linear-lanceolate and to 25 mm. long; corolla roseate to pale-pink or 

 rarely white; corolla lobes broadly obovate to elliptic, obtuse to acute, to 23 mm. 

 long and 15 mm. wide, their yellow basal spots 3- to 6-lobed with 1 or 2 middle 

 lobes longest; stigmatic lobes greenish, becoming yellow with age, 5-8 mm. long; 

 capsule to 9 mm. long. 



In moist or dry soil in fields, prairies, cedar-oak flats and along streams, 

 on mud flats and in wet soil about ponds and lakes, and in roadside ditches, in 

 Okla. (Grady, Pushmataha, Jefferson, Stephen and Ottawa cos.) and in e. half of 

 Tex. and s.w. along the coast, Apr.-July; 111. and Kan., s. to Tex. and Miss. 



5. Sabatia arenicola Greenm. 



Erect or erect-spreading annual, to 3 dm. tall; stems simple or branching from 

 the base upward to form a globose intricate mass; leaves thick-succulent, widely 

 spreading, the venation obscured, varying from elliptic-obovate at base to oblong 

 or ovate-lanceolate above, obtuse, to 25 mm. long and 13 mm. wide, usually much 

 smaller; calyx tube to 8 mm. long, strongly pentagonal due to the thick costae or 

 ribs, the thick lobes triangular-lanceolate and to 15 mm. long; corolla roseate
