as Gilva. might suggest. Lobes exceed the stamens by 2-3 mm. In one case 5 fr. at a node; in all others only 2 fr. at a node i.e. one in each axil. hvs. softly pubescent but hairs not appressed (BvB) [10-25-38] F2 bright red unevenly on dark orange background. 18mm long. 6-9-38 Veronica officinalis L. G 727; BvB III 201 FL Roadside southward, a few steps beyond Stump's line [6-16-38] FL vdw. fr. just above line-kilm. Note long style. 6-9-38? Osmorhiza Claytoni Clarke G 612: Washingtonia Claytoni Britton BvB II 637 young fr. (Frs seen 6-6-38) Woods north of drive behind large birch. St. glabrous from top down to uppermost long petioled lf. (uppermost lvs associated with inflated sessile or slant, about 1-2 cm, petioled) if uppermost long petioled lf. is on the stem (as in one spec.) the section of st. below that is hairy; if u-l-fo lf is basal (as in several spec.) st. all glabrous. This suggests O. longisty- los (which our plant may be) St 16 in high. (prob some not collected were higher) Lvs 5 petioles very hairy with white spreading hairs. Style & stylodium 1-5 mm on young fr; a trifle shorter (1? mm) on old fr. Old fr. (last yrs.) 12mm long. Roots young fr aromatic but fr. less so than plant. Mrs. Durga called Sweet Cicely at H.H i.e. has not the definite anise odor. No exactly like ill(BvB) of W.C- Involucre present, bracts ciliate. Involucres none but umbel subtended by short petioled or sessile lf. [See 6-25-38] 27-10-38
