Root perpendicular, stem 4-14 foot, usually much branched, branches reddish, 
mostly simple, filiform, in var. 8. with numerous short pubescent ramuli ; leaves 
alternate, rarely opposite, numerous, very narrow, 3-6 lines long, erectish or spread-

the calyx. In var. 8. the flowers are sessile and solitary on top of the short ramuli ; 
the calyx quite covered by leaves. Tube of calyx hemispherical, 1 line long, shorter 
than the subulate lobes, segments of corolla very narrow, scarcely one half longer 
than the calyx, usually hairy outwardly. Style as long as the corolla, thickened
