Herbarium and field research on <em>Stenanthium</em> densum and <em>S. leimanthoides</em> (Melanthiaceae) support the recognition of two new segregate species, <em>S. macrum</em> and <em>S. tennesseense</em>. Data are presented on morphology, phenology, habitat, and distribution of each of these four species. Selected specimen records, distribution maps, field photographs, and a key to these four species are provided.</p> ER -
