 meadows ; growing with V. lanceolata and V. blanda, and seems to be a 

 connecting link between them. I have seen specimens that seemed to 

 - th»- characteristics of both. Dr. Beck suggests that it may be

 that of V. blanda than of V. lanceolata, 4-(! in. high. Scattered sparingly 

 over the entire limits of the three counties, M., ()., and Mer.
