Zonal distribution: Transition. 



This species varies considerably, especially in the pubescence and the thickness of the 

 leaves. Woodland forms tend to be thinner-leaved than the prairie form, and are usually 

 more pubescent beneath. All gradations seem to occur between plants with loaves per- 

 fectly glabrous beneath and those whicli are quite pubescent. According to Fernald,« 

 the latter is the typical S. racemosa Michx., while the perfectly smooth form he considers 

 a subspecies, S. racemosa laevigata Fernald.
