Descr. Stems six to eight inches long, weak, and hence 
subdecumbent, angular, so as to be almost winged ; gla- 
brous, as is all the rest of the plant. Leaves rather dis- 
tantly placed; the lowermost ones broadly ovate, almost 
orbicular, tapering below into a flattish footstalk of about 
its own length; the rest are more or less spathalate, more ~ 
linear upwards, all of them deeply inciso-serrate and mostly _ 
recurved. The flowers are very small, elegant;and termi- 
nate the branches in crowded corymbs of several flowers; 
each having a small linear toothed bractea at the base. 
Calyx, with its five lanceolate, subulate segments, scarcely 
half so long as the corolla. Corolla cleft to the base above, 
in such a manner, that all the five segments occupy the lower 
side of the flower, and spread in a digitated manner ; this 
gives a curious appearance to the corymb of flowers, which 
_ thus appears radiated: its colour is white, beautifully 
marked
