3. Callirhoe digitata Nutt. (fringed poppy mallow, finger poppy mallow, finger wine cup)

Pl. 451 h–j; Map 2047

Stems 30–120 cm long, erect or ascending, glabrous, glaucous, rarely sparsely pubescent with simple hairs near the nodes. Basal leaf petioles 7–30 cm long, glabrous or more commonly pubescent with simple hairs. Basal leaf blades 3–12 cm long, kidney-shaped to nearly circular in outline, with 3–9 deep palmate lobes, these often 1 or 2 times (2)3-lobed again, the ultimate segments usually linear, the margins entire or with few shallow lobes or teeth, the upper surface glabrous or pubescent with simple hairs, the undersurface usually pubescent with simple hairs. Leaves of the aerial stems with the blades 3–13 cm long, kidney-shaped to nearly circular or broadly ovate in outline, with 3–9 deep palmate lobes, these often 1 or 2 times (2)3-lobed again, the ultimate segments usually linear, the margins entire or with few shallow lobes or teeth, the pubescence as in the basal leaves. Stipules mostly shed before flowering, 6.0–7.5 mm long, linear to narrowly lanceolate. Inflorescences panicles with 6–20 flowers. Bractlets subtending the calyx absent. Buds ovate, the sepal tips valvate, forming a short beaklike projection 1.0–2.5 mm long. Calyces 7–10 mm long, the outer surface glabrous, the lobes 3.5–7.0 mm long, lanceolate to narrowly ovate or narrowly triangular. Petals 15–26 mm long, deep rose to wine red or purplish red, usually with a lighter area toward the base. Fruits 7–9 mm in diameter, with 12–16 mericarps. Mericarps indehiscent, 3.5–4.5 mm long, the surfaces glabrous, the sides of the fertile portion with a reticulate pattern of thickenings, separated from the inconspicuous sterile portion but without a differentiated collar. 2n=28. May–September.

Scattered in the western portion of the Ozark Division and the Unglaciated Plains; introduced in Boone and Clay Counties (Missouri to Arkansas, west to adjacent Kansas and Texas; adventive in Illinois, Indiana, and possibly Louisiana). Dry upland forests, upland prairies, and calcareous glades; also roadsides and railroads.
