Phryma Leptostachya, Linn. Lopseed. Height 2-3 ft.: lvs. 3-5 in. long, thin, the lower long-stalked: fls. at first erect, soon spreading, and the calyx in fr. closed and abruptly deflexed against the axis of the spike, the teeth long, slender, and hooked at the tip. June-Aug. Common in moist and open woods, New Bruns. to Man., south to Fla. and Kans.; also E. Asia.—This very widespread and relatively unattractive plant has stimulated considerable speculation on the problem of the distribution of plants. Horticulturally, it may be worthy a place in the wild-garden for its botanical interest. The mature calices adhere to clothing, like a bur, by the hooked tips of the teeth. L.H.B. CH
