The plant divides immediately from the root into a number 

 of woody branches, terminated by fasciculated leaves, from 

 the centre of whjch a single stem proceeds, bearing seldom 

 more than two flowers, which are white : the petals are mi- 

 nutely cut to below the middle, and are marked with a faint 

 greenish spot, covered with short dark purple hairs.
