G. trifidum R. Small Bedstraw.

exception of No. 3116, obtained in a slough at the Indian graveyard, Peace

ance of G . Brandegei Gray. It was growing in water, however, and may 
be only a form of G. trifidum with expanded leaves. 
Abundant in sloughs and damp meadows throughout the area. Flowers 
collected June 23, and through July. A few flowers remain in August, but 
fruits begin to mature in late July.
