7247.fNEPETA [Rivin.] L. 



1. Nepeta Cataria L. Catnip. Map 1744. Prefers a moist or dry 

 sandy soil and is frequent to common in all parts of the state. Too fre- 

 quent in waste places about dwellings, truck gardens, pastures, and open 

 woodland. At our home we regard it as an obnoxious weed, and even by 

 persistent efforts can not entirely eradicate it. 



Nat. of Eurasia; naturalized from Newf., Que., Oreg., southw. to Ga., 

 Kans., and Utah.

Corollas mostly 1-1.5 cm long la. G. hederacea var. parviflora. 



1. Glecoma hederacea L. (Nepeta hederacea (L.) Trev.) Large- 

 flower Ground-ivy. Map 1745. Fernald (Rhodora 23: 289. 1921) 

 separated the large-flowered form of this species from the small-flowered 

 one. Most of our reports for the species were made before the separation 

 was made. These reports show the species to be all over the state. How- 

 ever, my specimens and observations of recent years show that the large- 

 flowered form is rare in the state. Habitat the same as that of the variety. 



Nat. of Eu. ; naturalized from P. E. I. to Conn, and N. Y. I have not 

 been able to investigate further its general range.
