This plant bears a remarkable general likeness to Dyschoriste radicans ; the habit, 
stems, leaves, inflorescence, general size of flowers and erect fruits, might deceive any 
collector in the field.

This species differs much from all the preceding, and should perhaps be removed to 
another part of the genus.
