Not above a span high; flowers pale blue or white. Pursh. 
I have not been able to refer to the figure of Lam. (illust. t. 681. f. 4.) 
for this plant, but it appears to me probable that it is only the preced- 
ing species which he has described under this name, perceiving that it did 
not correspond with the original description of the E. Philadelphicum. 
Grows in Carolina. 
Flowers July and August. Pursh.
