CAYUGA FLORA (1926) NOTES: In situations similar to Cardamine diphylla, but drier, in more gravelly and sandy soils;common. Apr. 20-May 20. Enfield Glen ; Inlet Valley, especially near Lick Brook and Negundo Woods ; Six Mile Creek ; Fall Creek ; McKinneys to Esty ; Taughannock Gorge ; and elsewhere. W. Que. and Vt. to Minn., southw. to Fla. and La. ; rare on the Coastal Plain. Many plants of Cardamine differ in various ways from typical C. diphylla and C. concatenata. These have been a constant source of difficulty to local botanists. Dudley listed them under his D. laciniata (C. concatenata) , second and third forms, and under D. maxima. Some of the specimens fall readily under D. maxima as delineated in Grays Man., ed. 7, but others cannot be placed there with certainty. Field studies through many seasons have led the authors to the belief that these plants are all of hybrid origin. The leaf divisions vary in width between those of the two parents, and the teeth are more incised than in C . diphylla but more crenate than in C. concatenata. The leaves are usually three, as in C. concatenata. but alternate, as is frequently the case in C. diphylla ; and the rootstocks are either moniliform, or continuous, or intermediate between these two types. The inflorescence, though usually glabrous, is occasionally hairy, as is also the upper part of the stem. A single colony of plants often contains several types representing various combinations of the characters of typical C. diphylla and C. concatenata. D. maxima, therefore, does not seem to be a true species.
