Solidago stricta, Ait.<br />
FLORA OF WASHINGTON AND VICINITY. 87<br />
Terra Cotta Swamp. Middle to end of September.<br />
Solidago speciosa, Nutt., var. angustata, Gray,<br />
A very distinct form with much the habit of S. bicolor, but larger, the stem smooth<br />
below, as also the ample radical leaves ; flowers yellow and showy. Although Pro-<br />
fessor Gray has referred it to the above species, still it bears no resemblance to forms<br />
from the West (Arkansas) which have also been so referred by the same authority.<br />
It will probably be erected into a species. September, October.<br />

Solidago elliptica, Ait.<br />
This species, which has now been found in several places (Reform School, Terra<br />
Cotta Swamp, near Bladensburg, &c.), and has been distributed thus far under the<br />
name of S. neglecta, Torr. & Gray, has, upon more careful examination, been now<br />
referred to S. elliptica, though exhibiting numerous variances from the descriptions<br />
given of that plant. September.<br />
