POLYGONELLA AMERICANA (F. & M.) Small, Mem. Torr. Club, 5: 141. 1894.

Polygonella Jkisncriana Shuttlw.; Meisn. in DC. Prodr. 14: 81. 1856.
Sandy soil, Missouri to Georgia, south to Alabama and Texas.
With the two excellent specimens from which Meisner drew his original description, to compare with a generous supply of Polygonella Americana and observations in the field, I cannot sep arate Polygonella ileisneriana from P. AllleriCalla. There may be
two species in what is now included in the latter species, but the separation must be on different lines.
