2. Monarda clinopddia L. Map 1765. Infrequent in a few of the south- 

 ern counties. It is usually found in dry, white and black oak woods and 

 less frequently in beech woods. The flowers are generally white or yel- 

 lowish white.

3. Monarda fistulosa L. Wild Bergamot. Map 1766. Infrequent to 

 frequent throughout the state. In moist sandy soil in prairie habitats or 

 in extinct lake bottoms, it is often abundant over several acres. It pre- 

 fers a moist, sandy soil but is found also in dry, gravelly soil and on rocky 

 wooded slopes. It is generally found in moist places along streams, usually 

 in open woods; in deep wooded ravines, in fallow fields, on open rocky 

 wooded slopes, and along roadsides and railroads. 



A careful study of my 75 specimens shows that I have specimens of 

 the typical form of the species and its variety. Nearly all are intermediate 

 in the kind and quantity of pubescence; plants typical of the variety will 

 have some villous hairs about the nodes or on the petioles. The calyx tube 

 varies from 5 to 9 mm long, its teeth from 1 to 2 mm long, and the surface 

 is more or less densely glandular-puberulent. The leaves vary from ovate 

 with rounded bases to those that are ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate with 

 rounded, truncate or cuneate bases. Ordinarily the deep woods forms 

 have broad leaves while those of dry habitats have narrower leaves. The 

 color of the flowers also varies from a light to a deep purple.

3a. Monarda fistulosa var. mollis (L.) Benth. {Monarda mollis L.) 

 Hairy Wild Bergamot. Map 1767. The habitat and distribution are the 

 same as that of the species. The under surface of the leaves of the typical 

 form is velvety to the touch. The pubescence of the branches of the stem 

 and under surface of the leaves in the variety is densely canescent and the 

 hairs on the stem are not at all spreading.
