With this plant I am unacquainted. Michaux and Pursh consider it as 
a variety of tire C. Glabra. Linnaeus, (after Miller,) Muhlenberg and 
Nuttali admit it a species. Miller remarks that it differs from the prece- 
ding by roots less disposed to creep, broader leaves more deeply serrated 
and by its purple flowers. Plukenet however, to whom Linnaeus refers^ 
describes and figures his Purpurea with very narrow leaves, but as distinct- 
ly petiolate. 
Grows in the mountains of Carolina and Georgia. Mich. Pursh.
