Phlox stolojiifcra will be taken up next. If the name amocnu is used for this at all, it should be followed by the word Hort.; but the prior name P. procumhcns Lehmann should really be adopted for it instead. The true native Phlox auiocna of Sims is a southeastern species, its dis- persal-center lying in the Appala- chians along the boundary between Alabama and Georgia. From there it has spread to Putnam County, Florida, to the eastern marginal coun- ties of Mississippi, to southernmost Kentucky, and to central North Caro- lina. Persistent reports of its occur- rence in Arkansas, Missouri, Indiana, and Virginia have thus far proved fal- lacious, other species being mistaken for it. The normal habitat is open woods or thickets in rather acid soil, and probably one reason for its prac- tical disappearance from horticulture has been its inability to thrive in rich garden loam. Two or three dealers in native plants are now offering it. however, and it is well worthy of trial in partly shaded and acid-soil rock or wild gardens. LIybrids of p. divarkata and P, auiocua (X ^^ ruc/clii Hraxd) Wliere these two species grow in the same vicinity they occasionally cross, producing plants which combine the parental characters, and have flowers of a lovely rose color. At- tempts should be made to produce this hybrid artificially, as a plant with considerable horticultural value might be obtained. TiiK Eastern Long-styled Phloxes (Section Ovatae) While the six members of this sec- tion resemble those of the next-pre- ceding in habit, they differ in having the sepals united into a tube for more than half their length, and in the sta- mens and styles being much longer than the calvx, and sometimes even longer than the corolla-tube. \ \ - n Phlox stolonifera Sims.
