Chas E. McRAY, Canon City, Colorado, sends us a beautiful-looking blossom, which he describes as follows : —
It is in blossom all summer, and bees work on it
almost as they do on mignonnette.
Canon City, Colorado. Chas. E. McRay.
As it was beyond our experience, we sent
it to Prof. Beal, who names it as follows : —
This is Petalostemon macrostachyus. I have had
two other species sent in as bee-plants. It is nearly
related to the clovers, and several of them are called
prairie clovers. W. J. Beal.
