Gray, Asa. 1873. Cleistogenous flowers. American Naturalist 7: 692. The entire notes is as follows:
"CLEISTOGENOUS FLOWERS are produced late in the season, and almost exclusively by Oxybaphus nyctagineus, as observed by H. W. Patterson, of Oquawka, Illinois. In Nyctaginia capitata, of Texas, as cultivated in the botanic garden here several years ago, we noticed the opposite of this, i.e., all the earlier flowers were cleistogenous.— A. G."
