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.

Dry sandy prairies, fields, plains, clearings, and oak or jack pine savannas; associated roadsides and railroads.
White-flowered plants are f. benkei (J. F. Macbr.) Fernald, and have been recorded from Kalamazoo, Mecosta, Newaygo, and Ottawa Cos.
The two Farwell collections (both Farwell 89, but one dated 1884 and another 1889) seem suspect, although this species is known from farther south and east in the western Upper Peninsula
