374 Karl M. Wiegand and Arthur J. Eames 



Garden between Forest Home and Pleasant Grove Cemetery, formerly (H. S. 

 Jackson in C. U. Herb.) ; roadside and lawn, lower end of Cook St., Ithaca. 



Xewf. and the Maritime Provinces of Canada; and from X. Y. and N. J. to La., 

 chiefly near the coast. Naturalized from Eurasia, 



9. V. Tourxefortii C. C. Gmel. (V . Buxbaumii of Cayuga Fl. V. pcrsica Poir.?) 

 Rich soils of various types ; scarce. Mar.-Apr. 



" W. Hill in Sanford's garden, {Prof. J. H. Comstock, 1882) ! " (D.) ; garden near 

 Coy Glen; Cascadilla Glen, above Eddy Pond and near the C. U. baseball cage; 

 Upland Road, Cayuga Heights ; hotel site, Taughannock Falls. 



Xewf. to Ont, X. Y., and Ohio; also Colo, to Calif. Xaturalized from Eurasia. 



10. V. virginica L. {Lcptandra virginica Nutt.) Culver's Root. 

 Dry rich sandy sheltered banks; rare. July 15-Aug. 



"Wild bank beyond the Fleming S. H." ~(D.) ; "near Fall Cr, north of Ithaca, 

 (Dr. Underwood, of Groton.)" (D.) ; Utt Point (D. !) ; woods near end of Farley 

 Point (D.) ; Junius, Sartwell (£>.). 



N. S. (?), w. Mass., and Conn., to B. C, southw. to Ala. and Tex.; rare or absent 

 on the Atlantic Coastal Plain. 



Other sections of the genus connect this species, often segregated as Leptandra, with 

 the more typical species of Veronica (see Engler and Prantl, Nat. Pflanzenfam.) ; 

 therefore it seems best not to maintain the genus Leptandra here. 



10. Aureolaria Raf. 33 



a. Corolla pubescent on the outside; plant glandular-viscid. 1. A. pcdicularin. 



var. intercedens 



a. Corolla glabrous on the outside; plant not glandular. 



b. Stem puberulent; pedicels very short. 2. A. virginica 



b. Stems glabrous and glaucous ; pedicels as long as the calyx. 3. A. flava 



1. A. pedicularia (L.) Raf., var. intercedens Pennell. (See Torreya 19:207. 



1919. Gerardia pedicularia of Gray's Man., ed. 7, and of Cayuga Fl.) False 

 Foxglove. 

 Dry sandy, gravelly, or stony, noncalcareous woodlands ; frequent. Aug.-Sept. 

 On the hills w., s., and e. of Ithaca, along the shores of Cayuga Lake, and in the 

 sandy regions n. of the lake: Ball Hill, Danby (D.) ; Thatcher Pinnacles (D.) ; 

 White Church (D.) ; Cascadilla woods; Fall Creek: Glenwood Road; and elsewhere. 

 Absent in the McLean region and on the clays and richer soils back from the lake 

 shores. 



X. Y. to Mo., southw. to X. C. ; this variety infrequent on the Coastal Plain. 



2. A. virginica (L.) Pennell. (Gerardia flava of Grav's Man., ed. 7, and of Cavuga 



Fl.) 



In habitats similar to the preceding; frequent. Tuly-Aug. 



Distribution similar to the preceding: Coy Glen; South Hill: Beebe Lake; w. shore 

 of Cayuga Lake; and elsewhere. 



S. Me. to Ont. and Wis., southw. to Fla., Miss., and Iowa, including the Coastal 

 Plain. 



33 The contending views as to the status of the generic and specific names in the old genus 

 Gerardia are ably discussed by Blake (see Rhodora 20:66, 1918) and by Pennell (see Torreya 

 19:205, 1919; also, Rhodora 20:133, 1918). Aureolaria and Agalinis are scarcely distinct generi- 

 cally, as the morphological characters on which they are based seem very trivial. Until the 

 matter can be settled through a more thorough study of these and related genera, it seems wise to 

 treat them as distinct, especially since not all the combinations have been made that would be 

 necessary under a united genus.
