Narrative
Plants noticed growing in herbaceous understory layer in Fern Valley bed 26 at the U.S. National Arboretum, south of the path dividing the bed, just inside the meadow entrance to Fern Valley. Possibly native, as they were listed in Freeman's 1953 Annotated List of the Plants Growing Naturally at the National Arboretum. They could also have been from an unrecorded source, or relocated from another wild location on the grounds in the past.
