 Lespedeza intermedia 



f. Hahnii (Blake) Hopkins 



prairie area. Its habitat suggests a slightly acid soil or one low in fertility. 

 N. H. to Wis., southw. to Ga. and Tex. 



6a. Lespedeza virginica f. Deamii Hopkins. (Rhodora 37: 265. 1935.) 

 Map 1259. Found locally throughout the state, usually in sandy soil with 

 black and white oak, in dry fallow fields, and rarely in prairie habitats. 



Conn, to 111., southw. to N. C. and Tenn. 



7. Lespedeza intermedia (Wats.) Britt. (Blake. Rhodora 26: 31. 1924.) 

 (Lespedeza frutescens (L.) Britt.) Wandlike Bushclover. Map 1260. 

 Infrequent in dry soil in white oak and black and white oak woods 

 throughout the state. 



Maine, Ont. to Minn., southw. to Fla. and Tex. 



7a. Lespedeza intermedia f. Hahnii (Blake) Hopkins. (Blake. Rhodora 

 26:32. 1924 and Hopkins. Rhodora 37: 265. 1935.) Map 1261. Associated 

 with the species in the southern part of the state. It was described from a 

 specimen from Ohio County and I have specimens from Crawford, Jeffer- 

 son, Lawrence, Monroe, and Sullivan Counties. This form is not well 

 marked since the spreading pubescence of the stem may be lacking on the 

 branches of some specimens. 



8. Lespedeza repens (L.) Bart. CREEPING BUSHCLOVER. Map 1262. In- 

 frequent on the crests and slopes of chestnut oak and post oak ridges in 

 the southern counties. All of my specimens except the one from Gibson 

 County are from the unglaciated region. My Posey County specimen is 

 from the east bank of "Pitcher Lake" about 5 miles northwest of Mt. 

 Vernon. This bank is frequently submerged and this habitat seemingly 

 is very different from that of the hills of the counties to the east. 



Conn, to Wis., southw. to Fla. and Tex. 



9. Lespedeza violacea (L.) Pers. Bushclover. Map 1263. Infrequent 

 in dry, clayey soil in white oak and black and white oak woods throughout
