1164. parviflorum, Salisb. (**) 



Th. 



Swamps. A slender species; leaves slightly pubescent, not much plait- 

 ed; flowers much smaller than those of the next; corolla bright yellow 

 and much brown spotted inside in lines; sepals and side petals dark 

 brown-purple, the latter several times twisted. Usually grows in 

 clumps, preferring very wet swamps. Frequent. 



1165. pnbescens, Willd. (**) L. P. 



Woods, in moist or dry ground. Much coarser every way than the pre- 

 ceding, with strongly-plaited, hairy leaves, and large light yellow 

 flowers, more or less brown-spotted. Small forms of this are often 

 mistaken for C. parviflorum, but the two species are apparently distinct 

 in Mich. Common.
