19. AGALINIS ERECTA (Walt.) Pennell, in Small, Fl. Florida Keys, 
133- 1913 
Anonymos erecta Walt. Fl. Carol. 170. 1788. No type locality 
given, presumably from Berkeley County, South Carolina. 
There is no type in the Walter collection in the British Museum. 
Of the species occurring in Berkeley County, those which best 
answer the description are Agalinis Holmiana (Greene) Pen- 
nell, Agalinis laxa Pennell, and the following. Of these the 
first two are long-pediceled, and very lax, the bracts in the 
first are scarcely conspicuously shorter than the peduncles, 
moreover both are relatively infrequent. The third species, 
the following, in its strict erect habit, its pedicels not con- 
spicuously long, but with bracts conspicuously shorter, seems 
seems best to fit Walter’s description; moreover, it appears to 
be much the most abundant species of the district.
