Lysimachia commixta
Also called Loosestrife
Lysimachia × commixta is a hybrid of flowering plant in the primrose family Primulaceae. It is native to eastern North America, from eastern Canada across the Great Lakes region west to Minnesota. The hybrid specific epithet commixta means "mixed together, mixed up", which presumably refers to the genetic mixing of two species. Indeed, the hybrid is sometimes referred to as the mixed loosestrife or the commingling loosestrife.
The distribution of Lysimachia × commixta coincides with that of its parents. The hybrid ranges from eastern Canada, across New England, New York, and the Great Lakes region, extending as far west as Minnesota.
