- note: there was much confusion over Prairie loosestrife vs Whorled loosestrife; what most people call Prairie loosestrife = Lysimachia quadriflora, is listed by the MB-CDC as Whorled loosestrife = Steironema quadriflorum; John produced a book describing Whorled loosestrife = Lysimachia quadrifolia and by then everyone was confused:-)
