ton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) Tall Cluster False-dragon head. 

 Map 1748. Infrequent in moist soil mostly along streams. The distribution 

 of this and the next species is not known because I did not separate the 

 two species before I made my study of the genus. The two species have 

 always been confused and their range is not known. This species flowers 

 about 10 days earlier than the next and is strongly stoloniferous. The 

 general range of the two species is given as follows: Vt., Que. to Minn., 

 southw. to Fla. and Tex. 



2. Physostegia virginiana (L.) Benth. (Physostegia virginia?w in part, 

 of Gray, Man., ed. 7 and Dracoceplmlum virginianum in part, of Britton 

 and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) Virginia False-dragon head. Map 1749. 

 Infrequent throughout the state in moist, sandy soil in prairie habitats, 

 in moist soil on wooded banks of streams, in moist borders of lakes, and 

 more rarely on rocky, open, wooded slopes. 



Both species do well in cultivation in good, black loam soil. They are 

 easily propagated from seed. 



7259. SYNANDRA Nutt, 



1. Synandra hispidula (Michx.) Britt. Map 1750. This mint is local 

 and rare in the state but where it is found there are usually several plants 

 in a colony or it is found growing for some distance in its restricted 

 habitat. It grows in deep leaf mold in cool, moist places, usually toward 

 the bases of deep, wooded ravines. Rarely found in level woods where it 

 grows in dense shade.
