14. Lespedeza NEGLECTA ( Britton ) . 



Lespedeza Stuvei neglecta Britton, Mem. Torr. Club, 5: 206. 1894. 



What appears to be this species occurs in the southeastern 

 part of the State. To us it seems more closely related to 

 L. Virginica than to L. Stuvei , and appears to bear the same 

 relation to that species that L. Stuvei bears to L . frutescens . 

 It is well worthy of specific rank. 



Specimens examined. — Engelmanu, Pilot Knob, Sept. 8, 1859. 



15. Lespedeza frutescens (L.) Britton, Mem. Torr. Club, 

 5: 205. 1894. 



Found in rocky woods throughout the Ozark Mountain 

 region in Missouri, but usually does not occur in such abun- 

 dance as some of the other species.
