Leucospora multifida (Michx.) Nutt. 



1. Mimulus ringens L. Map 1830. Frequent to almost common in the 

 northern two thirds of the state, becoming infrequent to rare in the 

 southern counties. It is found in wet soils both in the open and in the 

 woodland. Usually found in moist or wet soil along streams, in ditches, 

 and about lakes and ponds. 



Cape Breton Island, James Bay, and Man., southw. to Ala., La., Okla., 

 and Colo. 



2. Mimulus alatus Ait. Map 1831. This species is more or less frequent 

 in all of the southern half of the state, becoming less frequent northward 

 until the Wabash River is reached. North of the Wabash River there are 

 specimens from only Allen and Warren Counties. 



Conn, to e. Nebr., southw. to n. Fla. and e. Tex. 



7542. GRATIOLA [Bauhin] L. 



Pedicels slender, 10-25 mm long in fruit; stems relatively slender, glandular-puberulent 

 or sometimes nearly glabrous 1. G. neglecta. 



Pedicels stout, mostly less than 5 mm long, rarely up to 12 mm long at maturity; 



stems relatively fleshy, glabrous or rarely somewhat glandular above 



2. G. virginiana. 



1. Gratiola neglecta Torr. (Gratiola virginiana of Gray, Man., ed. 7 and 

 Britton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2, not L.) Map 1832. Infrequent to 

 frequent throughout the state except in the northern tier of counties. It 

 grows in moist or wet soil in bare places, and, where it is found, it often 

 forms large colonies. My notes say "abundant over an acre or more in acid 

 soil in a one year old, fallow cornfield in Warren County," and "abundant 

 over more than an acre in moist, sandy soil in a fallow field about 2 

 miles northwest of Monticello, White County." It is most often found
