| Lamiaceae | Monarda species 2 [=arkansana] | Arkansas Horse-mint | Dryish woodlands over calcareous or mafic rocks. | C. and s. Arkansas south nw. Louisiana and ne. Texas; disjunct eastwards in n. Georgia and sw. North Carolina. McClintock & Epling (1942) map and discuss this taxon as endemic to Arkansas and immediately adjacent Texas, but mention that "a specimen collected near Columbus, Polk County, North Carolina (Townsend, 1897) is scarcely different from subsp. arkansana". Scora (1967) treats var. arkansana as similarly endemic, though he cites (but does not map) a specimen from Cherokee County, Georgia and annotated (following the publication of his paper) a later collection from Polk County, North Carolina as var. arkansana. The Polk County, North Carolina material is manifestly var. arkansana and might be considered merely aberrant or a chance introduction, were it not for its repeated collection and the phytogeographic interest of the Blue Ridge Escarpment of Polk County, which harbors several Ozarkian and other Midwestern disjuncts, such as Melanthium woodii. |  (c) Cumberland, Ruth |
