Tliis is generally considered as our common specicsj but all the plants 

 M'liich T have examined^ and those which have been sent me under this 

 name, all agree in character witli the S, Bcrmudiana, so far at least as to 

 have their spathes manifestly shorter than their flowers. 



It is said to be smaller than tlie preceding species and its flowers to be 

 nuich less conspicuous. 



Grows in dry hills and pastures from Canada to Carolina. Pursh>
