Puccoon at Indiana Dunes State Park


Puccoon (Lithospermum sp.) in sand at Indiana Dunes State Park, Porter County.  Probably Lithospermum croceum.  According to Wilhelm & Rericha's Flora of the Chicago Region, p. 682-683, this sand habitat indicates Lithospermum croceum rather than Lithospermum canescens.  "L. croceum [is found where there is] a dry single-grained sandy soil (Entisol)"
