The Flora of the Cayuga Lake Basin 375 



3. A. flava (L.) Farwell. {Gerardia virginica of Gray's Man., cd. 7. G. quercifolia 

 of Cayuga Fl.) 



In situations similar to the preceding ; less frequent. July-Aug. 



S. Me. to Minn., southw. to Fla., Ala., and 111. ; rare on the Coastal Plain. 



Pennell's view is here adopted, that the name Gerardia flava L. should be applied 

 to the glaucous-stemmed species. That Linnaeus based his name on specimens rather 

 than on references is supported by the fact that he appended a description of his own. 



11. Agalinis Raf. 



a. Pedicels short, not more than twice the length of the calyx; capsules 5-6 mm. long. 



1. A. paupercula 

 a. Pedicels long, two to six times the length of the calyx; capsules about 4 mm. long. 



2. A. tenuifolia 



1. A. paupercula (Gray) Britton. {Gerardia paupercula of Gray's Man., ed. 7. G. 



purpurea of Cayuga Fl.) 



In damp sandy soil ; rare. Aug.-Sept. 



"Farley's Point, rather abundant along the south shore" (-D.), not seen since; 

 marsh about Newton Ponds {D. !) ; springy place n. of Spring Lake {F. P. Metcalf 

 & A. H. Wright). 



N. S. to Man., southw. to Ala. and Tenn., including the northern Coastal Plain. 



In addition to the sand, the presence of some salts in the soil, as lime or sodium 

 chlorid, may be an influencing factor in the localization of this species in the Cayuga 

 Lake Basin. 



2. A. tenuifolia (Vahl) Raf. {Gerardia tenuifolia of Gray's Man., ed. 7, and of. 



Cayuga Fl.) 



Dry sandy banks, in more acid and less saline regions than the preceding; rare. 

 Aug.-Sept. 



N. bank of Salmon Creek, below Ludlowville (D.) ; sandy bank, e. side of Phillips 

 Pond, 1922. 



W. Me. and w. Que. to Nebr., southw. to Fla. and Tex. ; frequent along the coast. 



These two species and the three species of Aureolaria are partly parasitic on the 

 roots of various plants. 



12. Castilleja Mutis 

 1. C. coccinea Spreng. Painted Cup. 



Low sandy, often somewhat acid, soils ; rare. May-July. 



" Near Aurora," 1842 {Dr. Alex. Thompson) ; bank near Phillips Pond, a few, 1887 

 {Mrs. S. A. Little in C. U. Herb.) ; roadside, Junius to Oaks Corners {Mrs. Burtin 

 in C. U. Herb.). 



Me. (?) and Mass. to Man., southw. to Ga., Tenn!, Kans., and Tex.; rare or absent 

 on the Coastal Plain. 



13. Pedicularis (Tourn.) L. 



a. Leaves pinnately parted ; capsule lanceolate, three times the length of the calyx ; 



plant decumbent at base, 1.5^4 dm. high. 1. P. canadensis 



a. Leaves pinnately lobed; capsule ovate, scarcely longer than the calyx; plant erect, 



3-9 dm. high. 2. P. lanceolata 



1. P. canadensis L. Louse wort. Wood Betony. 



Dry woodlands, in gravelly and stony, slightly acid, soils ; frequent. May. 



Frequent on the "acid" soils of the hills w., s., and e. of Ithaca, along the shore 

 of Cayuga Lake, and in the sandy country n. of the lake; rare in the McLean region 

 and in the clays and richer soils back from the lake shore.
