Whole plant tomentose, 6-10 inches high. Leaves generally 

 oval, 2 exterior leaves of the cahjx linear. Coro//«yellow, and, with the 

 leaves,1onger than in the preceding species. Unless the H. ramuliflorura of 

 Michanx has been misunderstood by our Botanists, it requires a careful 

 comparison with the precedmo; species. Excepting in the size of the 

 leaves and flowers, our Southeni plant differs very little from specimens c^ 

 the H. Canadense which I have received from New- York. 



Grows in dry, sandy soils. Common along the eea-coast. 



^k>wers April— May.
