Dry sandy pine and oak lands, especially hilly, through the Coastal 
Plain from South Carolina to northwestern Florida and Louisiana; 
extending inland on sandy soils (as the granite of central Georgia), 
to westernmost North Carolina and eastern Tennessee, and through 
the Mississippi Valley westward in our area. Ranges northwest- 
ward to Kentucky and southern Missouri. The inland forms have 
larger leaves and fruit, and probably represent several geographic 
varieties, an enumeration of which will be given in the writer’s

Flowering from July to October, fruiting in September and Oc- 
tober. Corolla yellow, externally more or less tinged with reddish,
