irom the oth- 

 er common variety, which is 

 called yellow loosestrife, may 

 be identified by its leaves, 

 which generally grow in 

 fours on the stem at regu- 

 lar intervals. The pretty 

 little golden - yellow, star- 

 shaped flowers, with a touch 

 of rusty color between each 

 point, grow out on a rather 

 long, fine stem from the 

 point where the leaf joins 

 the main stalk. This loose- 

 strife grows thick at the 



Four-leaved Loosestrife.
