(P. trifoUata mollis T. & G.) is a very pubescent race, ranging from North Carolina and Georgia to Indiana and Durango. The common rue, Rula graveolens a native of Europe, has escaped from cultivation in several localities in our range. It is a heavy-scented herb or partially woody plant and differs from our other representatives of the Rue family in the perfect flowers, the 4-£-lobed ovary and the lobed, several-seeded capsule.
