Wet ground, from Delaware to Georgia, E. Tennessee, and Louisiana. 
These two species are inextricably connected by intermediate forms, and 
it is a question whether H. galioides should be considered more than a variety 
of H. fasciculatum. But the extreme forms are so remarkably different in ap- 
pearance that for the present, at least, they are kept separate. 
= Sepals small: flowers small, in naked cymes: leaves rather broad, 
pa 
thin “and veiny: somewhat shrubby at base, a foot or two high, simple or 
branching.
