3. Stachys hispida Pursh. (Stachys tenuifolia var. aspem (Michx.) 

 Fern, and Stachys aspera of authors, not Michx.) Map 1756. Frequent

4. Stachys palustris L. var. homotricha Fern. (Rhodora 10: 85. 1908.) 

 Map 1757. An infrequent and local plant. It prefers a moist or wet sandy 

 habitat, especially a prairie. Found in open places about lakes and along 

 roadsides and railroads. My Ripley County specimen was found along 

 the B. & O. Railroad one mile west of Osgood. 



Newf. to Mackenzie, southw. to N. C, Ohio, 111., and Colo. 



5. Stachys tenuifolia Willd. Map 1758. Infrequent throughout our 

 area. Generally found in low woods, moist ravines, rarely in open places 

 and on banks of streams. When it grows in very dense shade, the plant 

 usually becomes weak and decumbent and is more branched than when 

 it grows in open places or in the sun.

 usually on moist or dry wooded slopes.

7. Stachys Clingmanii Small. (Small, Flora Southeastern United States, 

 p. 1032. 1903.) Map 1760. This is a local species of various habitats. I 

 have specimens from dry oak slopes, moist sugar maple and beech woods, 

 and from hard white clay soil in a sweet gum "flat" in Clark County where 

 I found specimens 5 feet high.
