98 Rhexia Mariana.
damp grassy meadows, and near boggy grounds and small waters.
Common in New Jersey. Grows also in Carolina and Maryland.
Flowers in July and August.
This is the second species of the genus Rhexia described in this
work. It is less common in this state than the R. Virginica, but
grows abundantly in the southern section of the union, delighting
in the same kind of situations as that species is found to inhabit.
From the fugaciousness of the petals, it does not seem to be much
entitled to cultivation.
The Figure represents a flowering specimen of the plant of its natural
size.
