The forms of this plant, which have been raised by some authors to the rank of 

 species, merge so insensibly into one another^ that I feel obliged to include them all 

 under one specific name. The amount of pubescence upon the several parts, as well 

 as the relative length of the calyx-lobes, arc very variable, and 1 have found in the 

 same raceme some pedicels with indications of the two minute bracteolse, and others 

 without the slightest trace of those appendages, and which latter seem to have their 

 fullest development in plants of the most luxuriant growth.
