Stenanthium angustifolium Kunth, Enura. 4: 190. 1843- Stenanthium gramineum Morong, Mem. Torr. Club 5 : no. 1894. Stem slender, 3°-4° tall. Leaves grass-like, some of them often i° long or more, 2"-$" wide, the upper, reduced to small linear lanceo- late bracts subtending the branches of the panicle; panicle open, simple or somewhat compound, i°-2° long, its branches nearly fili- form, often flexuous, spreading or drooping; bracts i"-i" long, equalling or longer than the pedicels; flowers 4"-6" broad; perianth-seg- ments linear-lanceolate; capsule ovoid-oblong, with a top-shaped base, 3"-4" long, reflexed. In dry soil, Virginia to Kentucky, Missouri, Florida and Alabama. Ascends to 6000 ft. in North Carolina. Fruit apparently scarce. Sept. 2. Stenanthium robustum S. Wats. Stout Stenanthium. Fig. 1229. Stenanthium robustum S. Wats. Proc. Am. Acad. 14: 278; 1879. Stems stout, 3°-S° tall, usually very leafy. Leaves often i° long or more, the lower 4"-io" wide, the upper reduced to bracts; panicle denser than that of the preceding species, com- monly longer, usually compound, its branches spreading or ascending; flowers greenish or white, 6"-8" broad; capsule ovoid-oblong, 4"-6" long, erect, longer than its pedicel, the very short beaks recurved-spreading. In moist soil, Pennsylvania and Ohio to South Carolina, Tennessee and Missouri. July-Sept. Apparently distinct from the preceding species, though closely related. >_. Please note that these imag
