 apiculate, partly clasping : calyx glabrous ; lobes linear or linear-lanceolate, about thrice 

 as long as the tube : corolla white ; lobes oblong-spatulate, 1-1.5 cm. long, obtuse : style 

 shorter than the stigmas : capsules oblong, 7-9 mm. long.

4. Sabbatia an-gustifolia (Michx.) Britton. Stems erect, 1-4 dm. tall, with several 

 opposite branches above or sometimes branched at the base : leaf -blades narrowly oblong to 

 linear-lanceolate, or oblong-spatulate at the base of the stem, 1.2-3.5 cm. long, acute or 

 obtuse, sessile : calyx glabrous ; lobes narrowly linear, 8-10 mm. long, often variable in 

 length : corolla rose-colored ; lobes oblong to spatulate-oblong, often barely surpassing the 

 calyx-lobes : style longer than the stigmas : capsules oval, 5-7 mm. long. [ brachiata Ell. ] 



In moist soil, Indiana and North Carolina, Florida and Louisiana. Summer. 



5. Sabbatia angularis (L. ) Pursh. Stems erect, 3-8 dm. tall, narrowly 4- winged ; 

 branches opposite : leaf-blades broadly ovate, to ovate-lanceolate, or orbicular to orbicular- 

 ovate at the base of the stem : calyx glabrous ; lobes linear or linear-lanceolate, 10-14 mm. 

 long, much shorter than the corolla : corolla deep pink or rarely white, with a lemon or 

 greenish eye ; lobes oblong or cuneate-obovate, 1.5-2 cm. long, obtuse : anthers bright 

 lemon : capsules oblong, about 5 mm. long. 



In rich soil, Ontario to Florida, Michigan and the Indian Territory. Summer and fall. 



6. Sabbatia campestris Nutt. Stems erect, 1-4 dm. tall, more or less widely

 broadest near the base and partly clasping : calyx deep green ; tube prominently ribbed ; 

 lobes linear, or narrowly linear-lanceolate, 2-3 cm. long, acute, with prominent marginal 

 ribs : corolla lilac ; lobes oval or obovate, as long as the calyx-lobes or shorter : capsules 

 wholly or mostly enclosed by the calyx-tube, 8-10 mm. long.
