Text Appearing Before Image:
he race is thencontinued by the younger offspring. The Star-Grass is in flower in May, according to some authors,and in June, according to others. But in Germantown, Pa., itblossoms from May to September. It is found in all the stateson the eastern slope of the continent, from Maine to Florida.In Kansas and Arkansas it is quite common ; and it was alsofound by Marcys expedition on the head waters of the TrinityRiver, in Northern Texas. It does not, however, seem to havereached Colorado, nor is it found in Wyoming or Idaho, and itis probably wholly confined to the regions east of tlie RockyMountains. Its northwestern limit is Minnesota, where it isabundant. The favorite places of growth of this species seem to be openwoods, or waste places covered with low shrubs ; but our speci-men is from a cranberry swamp, and it may have been that thisposition favored the production of seed.
