I have had no opportunity of examining this plant in a living state; it is 

 said by Pursh, on the authority of the herbarium of Gronovius to be the 

 oriainal Hedysarum Virginicum of Linnaeus. It scarcely can be arranged 

 with that genusj but T think also with M. Nuttall, that^it cannot remaiH 

 in tlie same genus with the preceding species. 



Grows in damp and marshy soils.
