Rocky barrens in the Ozark Mountain region in southern 

 Missouri, where it is abundant. This species has been taken 

 for H. maculatum Walt., and H. perforatum L., from which 

 two species it undoubtedly is distinct. From U. perforatum 

 L. it differs in having larger leaves, black-dotted sepals, and 

 punctate petals. It is readily distinguished from H. macula- 

 tum Walt., by its larger flowers which are both white- and 

 black-dotted, and its copiously pellucid dotted leaves.
