Ivdomdana is a western one of prairie and mountain regions, perfectly distinct, and fitting DeCandoUe's description. However, Tainturier is known to have collected largely on the Coastal Plain of Louisiana (ace. to Pennell), and there is a specimen of Lobelia siphilitica in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, marked "Louisiana, Tainturier," which resembles rather material from central Alabama than that from the Northwest. Furthermore, Louisiana a century ago was a much more extensive territory than today. Any positive settlement of the identity of this variety must await examination of authentic material. —L. Bollii Wimmer, Fedde Rep. Spec. Nov. XXVI: 3. 1929.—Stem often shorter than in the typical form, 30-60 cm. high (rarely 90 cm. or more), smooth (rarely short-hirsute). Leaves smooth, sub-entire or shallowly toothed, usually oblong-lanceolate, acute at both ends, averaging about X cm. Inflorescence often fewer-flowered than in the typical form. Flower-measurements about as in the typical form. Differs mainly by the shorter average size, smooth leaves and stem, smaller and definitely narrow leaves, smoothish calyx, and the nar- rower, acute, and often connate auricles. Many intermediate plants appear in the Mississippi Valley. Low places in prairies, sandy or gravelly margins of ponds and streams, wet meadows, sometimes on limestone cliffs; Wisconsin and Minnesota to Manitoba, south and west to Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas; prairies and mountains. Flowering period about as in the typical form. Representative material seen: (The citations marked with an (*) are
