Remarks

["Aug. 13. - To Conantum. . . In Bittern Cliff Woods that (apparently) very oblong elliptical leafed Lespedeza violacea (?), growing very loose and open on a few long petioles, one foot high by four or five inches wide. Is this because it grows in woods? It is not in bloom." Journal 8: 466. 1856]
