Gratiola lutea Rafinesque. Yellow Hedge-hyssop, Golden-pert. Phen: May-Sep. Hab: Blackwater river banks, pondcypress savannas in Carolina bays, other acidic wetlands. Dist: NL (Newfoundland) and QC south in the Coastal Plain to Panhandle FL; disjunct around the Great Lakes and inland in NY, ON, IL, and ND.

ID notes: This and Mecardonia procumbens are mistakable.

Origin/Endemic status: Native

Taxonomy Comments: The name G. lutea has priority over G. aurea; Pennell (1935) and Freeman (2019b) in FNA explain the complicated reasons for accepting G. lutea as the correct name.
