Observations on Acalypha deamii (Euphorbiaceae) in Ohio

Acalypha deamii was rediscovered in Ohio after almost 50 years. Six populations were found in southwest Ohio. The growth habit and habitat of these populations are described. Acalypha deamii reputedly has drooping leaves, but that is not a reliable character. Acalypha deamii is likely to be more common than reported and found throughout southern Ohio.
