“Stem downy; leaves cordate, acuminate, entire, hairy on both surfaces, lobes 
rounded; peduncles 1-tlowered, shorter than the petioles, bibracteate near the 
calyx; sepals acuminate, spreading, retlexed, densely bearded at the base; the cam- 
panulately funnel-shaped corolla 5-lobed, slightly crenulate, limb azure, the tube 
nearly white; capsule smooth, 3-celled, cells 2-seeded, seeds black, roughish-downy.” 
Our plant differs from the above description solely in the peduneles with two, or 
seldom three, flowers. Mr, Charles L. Pollard, on comparing it with the illustration 
of Sweet, finds it to differ in no essential point.
