Plant rather coarse and hairy; hairs of the pedicels spreading. 
The extreme form looks very unlike the typical / Virginiana, but so many inter- 
mediate grades are found, that it scarcely deserves varietal rank. It is rather common 
in the Prairie States from Ohio to Kansas.

4-10 em. high, with spreading hairs, but very soon glabrate, 2—4-flowered. Flowers
