 long, 4-14 cm. long, repand, coarsely toothed or rarely pinnatifid on the lower part of the 

 stem, entire or merely undulate above : racemes continuous, at least during anthesis : calyx- 

 tube turbinate at maturity ; lobes as long as the tube or much longer : corolla 3-4 cm. long : 

 capsules ovoid-conic, about 1.5 cm. long, long-beaked. 



In woods and thickets, Ontario to Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Florida and Mississippi. Summer. 



7. Dasystoma disp6rsa Small. Perennial, inconspicuously puberulent, blackish in 

 drying. Stems 4-10 dm. tall, simple or widely, but rather sparingly branched : leaf- 

 blades spatulate, oblong, elliptic or oblong-oblanceolate, entire, 2-6 cm. long, or longer, 

 and sometimes repand near the base of the stem, slender-petioled : racemes conspicuously 

 interrupted, the pairs of flowers quite regularly separated by internodes 2-4 cm. long : 

 calyx-tube 7-8 mm. broad during anthesis, puberulent or glabrate ; lobes about as long as 

 the tube or usually shorter : corolla 3-3.5 cm. long : capsules fully 1 cm. long. 



In pine woods and on hillsides, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Summer and fall. 



8. Dasystoma patula Chapm. Perennial, finely pubescent or puberulent, at least 

 on the stem. Stems 5-12 dm. tall, widely and loosely branching : leaf-blades various, those 

 of the lower leaves 1-2-pinnatifid, ovate or ovate-lanceolate, 10-15 cm. long, those of the 

 upper leaves oblong to oblong-lanceolate, entire or some of those about the middle of the 

 stem serrate : pedicel slender or filiform, longer than the calyx and sometimes surpassing the 

 spreading or reflexed bracts : calyx-lobes linear or nearly so, longer than the tube : corolla 

 3-3.5 cm. long : capsules ovoid, 1-L5 cm. long. 



On river banks, Tennessee and Georgia. Summer and fall. 



9. Dasystoma bignoniiflora Small. Perennial, glabrous. Stems 1-2 in. tall, some- 

 what glaucous, with ascending branches : leaf-blades 4-15 cm. long, the lower ones 1-2- 

 pinnatifid, slender-petioled, the upper entire, mostly broadest above the middle : calyx- 

 tube 4-5 mm. broad during anthesis, the lobes often shorter than the tube : corolla 3.5-4.5 

 cm. long ; tube narrowly trumpet-shaped : capsules ovoid, 10-12 mm. long, acute. 



In sandy soil, Florida to Alabama and Louisiana. Summer and fall. 



10. Dasystoma Virgfnica (L.) Britton. Perennial, glabrous. Stems 8-15 dm. tall,
