Phlox glaberrima Linne. Smooth Phlox. Plate 2. History.—The earliest known reference to this Phlox was that published by Plukenet^ in 1705, his description being **Lychnidea Asclepiadis folio Floridana, summo caule flori- bunda.'' It was first figured by Dillenius,^ with the charac- terization *'Lychnidea folio melampyri.'' In establishing the genus Phlox in 1737, Linne* evidently had this species pri- marily in mind, for it is the only one he listed in the catalog of the plants in Clifford's garden.^ Where these cultivated plants came from is unknown, but it may well have been east- ern Virginia, Gronovius^ having recorded a ** Phlox foliis lineari-lanceolatis'' there in 1739. The name Phlox glaber- rima was applied to it by Linne^ in the Species Plantarum, and ha^ been used by practically all subsequent writers, although Salisbury^ preferred P. melampyrifolia. As already pointed out under P. Carolina, that species has been combined with the present one by many botanists, cer- tain forms of it being indeed classed by Gray^ as P. glaber- rima var. suffruticosa. The reinstatement of P. Carolina, how- ever, calls for a transfer of this variety to it. Finally, in his monograph of the Polemoniaceae, Brand^^ described as P. glaherrimu subvar. angustissima a small-leaved variant from the Gulf Coastal Plain. 1 Contribution from the Botanical Laboratory of the University of Pennsylvania.
