 ium has specimens from the additional counties of Page, 

 Fremont, Calhoun, Cerro Gordo, Polk, Hancock, and 

 Webster counties. Dr. Parry and Messrs. Nagel andHaupt

 Floyd and Story counties; Prof. Pammel from Woodbury

Delphinium urceoeatum J acq. Coll., vol. 1, p. 

 153. 1786. 



Stem slender, 2-6 feet high; many-flowered, spur straight, 

 follicles erect; otherwise similar to the preceding. Delphin- 

 ium exaltatum Ait. Hort. Kew., vol. 2. p. 244, 1789. 



The species ranges from Pennsylvania west to Minnesota 

 and Nebraska south to Alabama and North Carolina. We 

 have rather doubted its occurrence in Iowa although it has 

 been reported a number of times. Prof. Bessey reports it 

 from Poweshiek county on the authority of Prof. Parker; 

 Prof. Arthur from Scott county on the authority of Messrs. 

 Nagel and Haupt which report is not confirmed by Messrs. 

 Barnes, Reppert and Miller in their Flora of Scott and 

 Muscatine counties; and Prof. Fink from Fayette county. 

 Mr. J. B. Rigg in his notes on the Flora of Calhoun county 

 lists this species but his specimens sent to the State Uni- 

 versity herbarium so labeled are Dclpliinium caroliiiicuium 

 Walt. (D. azureum Mx.)
