A. vulgaris L. European Columbine.

DELPHINIUM L. 



D. consolida L. Field Larkspur.

 northern part of the State. It usually occurs in old fields and 

 along roadsides, apparently having entered our flora as an escape 

 from cultivation. 



Flowers from May until September.

D. urceolatum Jacq. Tall Larkspur. 



(D. exaltatum Ait.) 

 This species is doubtfully admitted upon rather scant speci- 

 mens from Wayne County. In view of the antecedent report of 

 the occurrence of the species in the same locality by Dr. Phin- 

 ney I have allowed the reference to stand. 

 Collected in flower May 29th.
