Monarda punctata Linnaeus, Sp. PI. 22. 1753 [Virginia]. — Pursh Fl. Am. 

 Sept. L 18. 1814.— Barton Fl. Phila. 14. 1818.— Knieskern 23.— Willis 

 45. — Britton 199. — Keller and Brown 278. 



Common in dry, open, sandy ground of the Middle, Coast and 

 Cape May districts north to Middlesex and Mercer Counties. 

 Appears as a weed in many places, and the occurrences in the 

 Pine Barrens seem to be of this nature. 



This is one of the characteristic native plants of the Middle 

 district which takes kindly to cultivation, increasing abundantly 

 in fields, along roadsides, etc. While its flowers are handsome 

 individually, the colors are too neutral and the pink bracts not 

 bright enough to produce much effect in bulk. 



FL — Late July into October. 



Middle District.— ^evf Egypt, New Lisbon, Camden, Medford (S), Mickle- 

 ton, Blackwood, Clenienton, Swedesboro. 



Pine Barrens.— Speedwell (S), Landisville (T), Hammonton, Mouth of 

 Batsto, Egg Harbor City. 



Coast Strip.— Ahsecon (S), Atlantic City (S), Ocean City (S), Wildwood.

Frequent in open dry ground or in woodland throughout the 

 State, except in the Pine Barrens, where it is local and perhaps 

 introduced, as it has a tendency to spread everywhere in culti- 

 vated ground. 



PL — Late July to early September.
