5. Gratiola VIRGINIANA L. Sp. PI. 17. 1753. "Habitat in 

 Virginia." Although Linne had specimens of the plants 

 here called G. neglecta in his herbarium in 1753, his de- 

 scription is taken solely from Gron. Fl. Virg. 6, 1743, and 

 so is based upon Clayton 379. This, as shown by Dr. S. 

 F. Blake in Rhodora 20: 65, 1918, is the plant which has 

 been known as G. sphaerocarpa Ell. 

 Flowering from mid-May to September, and soon ripening 



fruit. 



Wet loam, in shade, occasional in the Middle and Cape May 



Districts of the Coastal Plain of New Jersey, and below the Fall- 



ine in Delaware. From Burlington, N. J. southward to Florida 



and Texas, extending inland to the southern Appalachians.
