Text Appearing Before Image:
ndthe L. punctata of Walter are now regarded as identical withZ. quadrifolia, and these names are therefore synonyms. The leaves of most of the species of Lysiniachia are more orlesss dotted like those of our Four-leaved Loosestrife. In ourplant the leaves are not always in fours, as its name indicates,but there are sometimes as few as three and as many as seven ina whorl. In a specimen now before the writer, the lowest whorlhas three leaves, the ne.xt four, the third five, the fourth seven.The flowers also have this tendency to vary, and our faithfulartist has shown a flower (marked 3 in the plate) with six petals. Our plant is common in the seaboard Atlantic States as far asSouth Carolina, but has not crossed the Mississippi River, norhas it been collected west of Michigan, but is included in Mr.Colemans list of the plants of that state.
