Phlox maculata, Linn. (P. pyramidalis, Smith. P. reflexa and P. penduliflora, Sweet). Summer Perennial Phlox. Slenderer, and mostly less tall, usually with purple-spotted st.: lvs. very smooth and usually thicker than those of the above, the upper ones usually clasping: calyx-teeth short: fls. as in above. Range of the last, and in cult., but less important horticul- turally than P. paniculata. Summer. Var. suaveo-lens, Brand (var. Candida, Michx. P. suaveolens, Ait. P. tardiflora, Penny. P. longiflora, Sweet. P. alba, Moench). St. glabrous, not spotted: fls. sweet-scented, white. The foregoing treatment of the synonymy of the two species entering into the origin of the summer perennial phloxes is essentially that of Gray. Brand removes a number of these names into a separate category comprising a range of hybrids, and accounts for other old horticultural names, as follows: 3a.Phlox paniculata x maculata, Brand. P. pyramidalis, Smith; P. decussata, Lyon; P. reflexa, P. excelsa, P. Wheeleriana, P. Sheperdii, P. penduliflora, Sweet; P. missourica, Salm-Dyck; P. omniflora, P. atrocaulis, P. Ingramiana, P. pulchella, P. Vernoniana, Hort.; P. Youngii, P. Colaryana, Court.; P. speciosissima, Maund; P. Bridgesii, P. Broughtonii, Marn.; P. Van Houttei, P. Marianna, Lindl.; P. insignis, De Jonghe; P. Oldryana, Walp. Several other old Latin names are also referable to this hybrid group. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
