Melampyrum lineare Desr., Lam., von. 4: 22. 1796. “Rapportee de 
la Caroline par M. Fraser s.).” Description made from 
a very young plant, but certainly of the y ei here considered. C 
acterization of the calyx as 5-toothed certainly erroneous.

its varieties much further northward and across the continent. 
Flowering and fruiting through the summer. Corolla white, 
more or less pinkish externally, the palate yellow.
