412 Lake Maxinkuckee, Physical and Biological Survey 



686. CULVER'S-ROOT 



LEFTANDRA VIRGINICA (L.) Nutt. 



A few plants found at the open edges of woods. Some found 

 in 1904 in woods at the south end of the lake a little beyond the 

 corner of Busart's field. The symmetrical form of this tall plant 

 with its whorled leaves and dense spike of whitish flowers, makes it 

 a stately and attractive plant. In flower during July and August, 

 sometimes continuing until late in autumn. 



687. FERN-LEAVED. FALSE FOXGLOVE 



DASYSTOMA PEDICULARIA (L.) Benth. 



Rather common, scattered through dry woods north of Lost 

 Lake. Noticed in flower during the month of September, 1900. 



688. DOWNY FALSE FOXGLOVE 



DASYSTOMA FLAVA <L.) Wood 



Not so abundant as some of the other species of the genus; 

 found scattered through dry, rather open, woods near Lost Lake. 



689. ENTIRE-LEAVED FALSE FOXGLOVE 



DASYSTOMA LAEVIGATA Raf. 



We have no notes on this species, but its presence is attested by 

 an herbarium specimen collected in July, 1900. 



690. SMOOTH FALSE FOXGLOVE 



DASYSTOMA VIRGINICA (L.) Britton 



Found near the Lakeview Hotel, a little way from the lake. 

 A very handsome, conspicuous species ; the large golden-yellow 

 flowers glow through the woodland shadows with a brightness that 

 attracts the attention for a considerable distance. 



691. SMALL-FLOWERED AGALINIS 



AGALINIS PAUPERCULA (A. Gray) Britton 



Common in the low marshy flats surrounding Lost Lake ; noted 

 especially in low ground east of Lost Lake outlet near Wal- 

 ley's. Forming large patches in grassy ground at the northern 

 end of Green's marsh where it gave its color in August and Septem- 

 ber to a considerable area, looking much like a large flower-bed. 

 Individual plants with their numerous slim erect branches, narrow 

 leaves, and fair-sized rose-purple blossoms on slender pedicels have 

 a peculiar airiness and grace.
