1. G. hirsutum, Hdgw. in Linn. Trans. xx. p. 81. An erect 
much-branched hispidly pilose annual, from a few inches to a foot or 
more high. Branches slender, terete or slightly angular. Leaves alter- 
nate, sessile, linear-lanceolate to broadly oval or elliptical, rarely ex- 
ceeding an inch in length, entire or undulate-dentate and having 4 
white cartilaginous margin, densely pilose when young, but becoming 
nearly glabrous with age, gradually smaller upwards and passing into 
minute bracts. Flowers in racemose panicles, very numerous, larger 
than in either of the other species, solitary, on slender pedicels 1m the 
axils of the upper leaves and bracts. Calyx 2-3 lines long, tube densely 
hispidly pilose ; lobes about equalling the tube, glabrous, erect, lanceo- 
late, acute, with a prominently thickened margin. Petals linear- 
lanceolate, 2-3 lines long. Capsule hemispherical, hispid.—C.

_ 2. GC. Perrottetii, A. DC. Prodr. vii. p.420. An erect simple or 
slightly-branched annual, 1-2 ft. or more in height, sparingly hispidly 
pilose, especially on the lower part of the stem and lower leaves. 
Branches terete or obsoletely angled. Leaves alternate, sessile, pilose 
when young, lanceolate, acute, 6-12 lines or more Jong, undulate an 
obscurely toothed on the margin. Flowers numerous, small, in loose 
racemes or sub-cymose panicles a foot or more in length ; bracts small, 
linear, much shorterthan the slender pedicels, which vary from 3 to 
12 lines in length. Calyx-tube glabrous, about 14 lines long; lobes 
about equal in length. Petals ovate-lanceolate, much broader at the 
base than in the middle, exceeding 2 lines in length. Capsule turbi- 
nate, 5-ribbed.—? Del. Ic. Sel. v. t. 15; O. bahiense, A. DC. Le.

The plate in Delessert represents the petals as linear-lanceolate, but oth 
agrees with the type. In Kew herbarium there is a specimen collected by Barter 0D 
the Niger (826) which seems to connect this with C. hirsutwm in its more hispidly 
pilose calyx with longer lobes,

3. G. ramosissimum, Hemsl. An erect hispidly pilose much- 
branched annual of compact growth, from 3-6 in. high. Branches 
alternate, very slender, deeply furrowed with sharp ridges. Leaves alter- 
nate, sessile, oblong or ovate-lanceolate, 38-5 lines long, acute, broad at 
the base, coriaceous, cartilaginous on the margin, with 2 or3 almost 
obsolete teeth on each side, smaller upwards and in the last ramifications
