7. Scutellaria saxatilis Riddell. Map 1737. A rare plant throughout 

 its general range. I have found it only twice. Once I found it in the 

 detritus of a sandstone cliff along Little Blue River at the site of the old 

 Carnes Mill, about 2 miles southeast of Grantsburg, in Crawford County. 

 There are two vigorous colonies here, growing in the shade of the cliff 

 and surrounding trees. I found it again in the detritus at the base of a 

 cliff of the Ohio River, about 2 miles south of Fredonia, in Crawford 

 County. This station is just south of a picnic ground 2 miles south of 

 Fredonia. Here is a small colony, growing in the dense shade of the cliff 

 and woods. 



It has been found in the following states : Del., Md., D. C, Va., W. Va., 

 N. C, Ohio, Ind., Ky., Tenn., and Ark.
