Plant fuscous or purple: stems loosely ascending or suberect, densely 
glandular-hirsute, very leafy, 0.6-1.5 dm. high: internodes short; 
the median 0.5-2.5 em. long: new leaves purplish, 5-10 pairs, elliptic- 
oblong, obtuse, slightly narrowed at base, densely glandular-hirsute, 
0.5-1.4 em. long, 1.5-3.5 mm. wide: bracts ovate-lanceolate, acut- 
ish or obtuse, scarcely scarious: flowers 1-3: pedicels slender, mostly 
erect, becoming 1.5-2.5 cm. long, scarcely or only rarely nodding at 
apex: sepals ovate-oblong, obtuse or subacute, fuscous, glandular, 
broadly scarious-margined, 5.5-6.5, becoming 6-7 mm. long: petals 
obtuse, 2-lobed, ascending, twice as long as the calyx: capsule 
straight, 0.9-1.3 em. long: seeds 1.3-1.7 mm. in diameter, angulate; 
the vesicular or loose testa with some faces prominently papillose, 
others covered with rows of small transverse ridges.—Serpentine 
barrens of western NEWFOUNDLAND: serpentine tablelands, altitude 
about 380 m., Bonne Bay, August 27, 1910, Fernald, Wiegand & Kit-

In its large seed with loose testa C. terrae-novae is very different 
from other American species, in this character showing a relation- 
ship to the European C. latifolium L.
