_ Root perennial, creeping. Stem ascending, erect or procumbent, sometimes root- 
ing and stoloniferous, 4-2 feet long, flexuous, simple or branched, compressed or 
triangular above. Leaves alternate, lower ones often broader, obovate or oblong- 
cuneate, but generally linear-lanceolate or linear, with a callous point, remotely serru- 
late or denticulate, 1-2 in. long, 1-2 lines wide, spreading. Flowers in the upper 
axils of the leaves sometimes racemose. Ovary sessile, with 2 linear bractex at 
the base, 4 lines to 1 inch long, erect, crowned by the linear, acute, serrulate or 
_ciliolate calyx-lobes, which are unequal, about 1 line long. Corolla 4-44 lines long, | 
__ bright blue, the tube striated, the lobes of the lower lip ovate or ovate-oblong, acute. 
Capsule incurved, dehiscing at the sides. G. Eckloniana is more diffuse than @- 
_ Dregeana, but in no other respect different ; the flowers are not longer. G. Meyertane 
_ is founded on a small and narrow-leaved specimen; the flowers are not pedicellate.
