Description
Species Description - D. Carolinianum is confined to the South, ranging from North Carolina, or perhaps Virginia, to Missouri and south to Florida, Lousiana and Arkansas. It is characterized by the slender habit, the small deep blue flowers, the long straight narrow raceme, the slender and slightly curved and usually horizontal spur.* The seeds are quite different from those of the related species, being smaller, only 1.5 mm. long, with broad wing-margins on the angles and only slightly squamellate on the sides. The following specimens are in the herbaria of the New York Botanical Garden and Columbia University.
