 — Keller and Brown 206. 



Frequent in wet rocky places in the northern counties and 

 southward on the coast from Sandy Hook to Wildwood, wher- 

 ever there are woods close to the beach. 



The occurrence of this delicate little plant, which recalls the 

 moist rocks and dells of the mountains, on the wooded island 

 beaches of our southern coast is one of the curiosities of distri- 

 bution, especially since it occurs nowhere else in southern New 

 Jersey. As evidence that it is not mere chance, we have asso- 

 ciated with it Aquilegia canadensis, Vagnera stellata and other 

 species of like range. 



Fl. — Late May to late October. Fr. — I^te June to late No- 

 vember. 



Coast Strip.—Sandy Hook (NB), Ventnor (H), Piermont, Wildwood.

 Barton, Fl. Phila. II. 63. 1818. — Knieskern 10. — Britton 72. 



Open sandy ground throughout the State, but most common 

 in the Middle district, which seems to be the true home of the 

 species. Its tendency to become a weed certainly accounts for 



* The record for Vineland, published by Keller and Brown, on authority of 

 Miss Millie Abbott, is almost certainly one of the introduced species common 

 in that vicinity.
