Rhexia virginica, Linn. Fig. 3376. Roots tuber-bearing: sts. about 1 ft. high, branched above and usually clustered, forming a compact, bushy plant: lvs. sessile, ovate, acute, rounded or rarely narrowed at the base, 1-2 in. by 1/2-1 in., usually 5-nerved: fls. rosy, 1-1 1/2 in. across, in cymes; petals rounded or slightly retuse; anthers minutely spurred on the back. July-Sept. Sunny swamps, Maine to Fla., west to Mo. B.B. 2:474. B.M. 968.—This is one of the prettiest of the small wild fls. When transplanted, it seems to thrive as well in good clay loam as in peaty soils, although it sometimes grows in the latter. F. W. Barclay. F. Tracy Hubbard.
