leaves subsessile, alternate, opposite or ternate, with cartilaginous mar-

the upper lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, bidentate or entire ; pedicels 
subterminal, much longer than the leaf; calyx-tube scabrous or hairy;

Perennial, very variable in habit and size, 3-4 inches or 2 feet long. Lower 
leaves 2-4 lines long and 2-3 lines wide ; the middle 4-6 lines long, 13-2 1. wide ; 
the uppermost sublinear, acute or mucronulate, the margins revolute. Peduncles 
at the base with 2 linear bractex, minutely downy as the calyx and corolla. Cap- 
sule as in D. scabra, from which it is distinguished by the more distant, broader, 
and toothed leaves, and prostrate stem with elongate branches. It varies also with 
smooth stems. 
3. D. aspera (A. DC.! 1. c. p. 356); annual, scabrous by retrorse, rigid 
hairs; stem erect, angular, branched; leaves alternate and opposite, 
scabrous on margins, and prominent middle nerve; the lower obovate- 
oblong or ovate-lanceolate, mucronulate or acute, very shortly petiolate ; 
with 1 or 2 teeth on each side, the middle and upper lanceolate or 
linear, often entire; pedicels spreading, 3-4 times longer than the leaf, 
forming a loose raceme ; flowers minutely pubescent; may lobes linear, 
equalling the tube, and nearly as long as the corolla. . aspera, Spr.

Commonly much branched from the base; branches erect or ascending, the lower 
often opposite. Leaves with revolute margins, 4-6, rarely 8 lines long, 1-2 lines 
wide, with a few serratures. Primary branches terminated by a 6-8-flowered, very 
loose raceme ; peduncles 1—2 inches long. Corolla blue, small. Capsule obovoid 
or obconical, 2-3 lines long, twice longer than the rigid, erect, calycine lobes. By 
the annual root, weak, more-branched stem, racemose, spreading peduncles, and 
smaller flowers, it differs sufficiently from D. tenella. 
4. D. stellarioides (Presl.! Prod. Lob. p. 10); annual ; stem erect, 
angular, as well as the margins and middle nerve of the leaves, scabrous 
by retrorse bristles, simple or few-branched; branches weak, opposite ; 
leaves very shortly petiolate, opposite, lanceolate, remotely serrulated ; 
pedicels axillary, as long or longer than the leaf, erect, scabrous ; calyx- 
lobes linear, spreading or reflexed, longer than the tube, and one-ha 
or nearly twice shorter than the minutely pubescent corolla. E. & 7.
