Please try our next iteration of the Michigan Flora Online here. Beginning on February 1, 2023, michiganflora.net will point to this new site.

The new site offers several benefits over the existing website, including real coordinate mapping, giving a clearer view of the density of documentation as well as more precision about plant distributions and their link to landforms. We will also have the ability to update species pages more regularly, both in terms of new collections and as more existing Michigan specimens are georeferenced. In addition, we have a better photo display, and offer indented keys.

Native in the southeastern United States. Occasionally spreading from cultivation (usually in vegetative clones) to roadsides, forested dunes, disturbed ground, and sites near habitations. First collected in 1906 in Van Buren Co.

The stipels are as long as the petiolules or slightly longer, more conspicuous in this species than in our other two.
