petioled, 1/-2!4’ long, the lower sinuate-dentate or 
nearly all of them entire; flowers in slender terminal 
and axillary spikes; calyx-segments broadly oblong, 
obtuse, scarious-margined, not at all keeled, or scarcely 
so in fruit, herbaceous, nearly covering the utricle; 
seed horizontal, readily separating from the pericarp, 
black, shining; embryo completely annular. 
In woods and thickets, New York and New Jersey to

small, oblong or lanceolate and acute; spikes slen- 
der, axillary to the upper leaves and in terminal 
panicles; calyx 14’ wide, its segments keeled in 
fruit, and nearly enclosing the utricle; pericarp 
easily separable from the seed; seed horizontal,
