1 Corolla rotate.
  2 Stem erect; leaf obviously serrate or crenate; [of FL and northward, of uplands]
  2 Stem sprawling; leaf entire or with a few obscure teeth; [of FL wetlands].
    3 Corolla 14-18 mm across; sepals 6-9 mm long
    3 Corolla 7-8 mm across; sepals 1-2.5 mm long
1 Corolla campanulate.
      4 Stems weak and slender, reclining, 3-angled, retrorsely scabrous.
      4 Stems more robust, erect, terete to bluntly or sharply angled, glabrous or with antrorse hairs.
        5 Flowers sessile in a terminal glomerule (sometimes also in axillary glomerules)
        5 Flowers pedicellate, axillary or in a terminal raceme or panicle.
          6 Inflorescence a diffuse panicle (with at least 2 orders of branching); flowers on long pedicels (generally longer than 40 mm long); [native species of rock outcrops or rocky woodlands].
             7 Corolla 6-8 mm long; leaves lanceolate, averaging about 1 cm wide, generally with prominent, often somewhat divergent teeth
             7 Corolla 12-20 mm long; leaves (of the stem) linear, averaging < 5 mm wide, generally lacking teeth (or the teeth minute and obscure)
          6 Inflorescence a raceme (sometimes leafy, the flowers therefore essentially axillary); flowers mostly on short pedicels < 5 mm long (or to considerably longer in C. persicifolia); [exotic species usually of disturbed areas].
               8 Corollas > (25-) 35-55 mm long
               8 Corollas < 30 (-35) mm long.
