Stem 3-1 foot or more high; branches reddish, woody, erect, very leafy, 
terete, in var. yy, very long, filiform or capillary, trailing. Branchlets mostly 
short. Leaves in fascicles, sessile, much spreading or subreflexed, glabrous, rarely 
hairy, pale green, 2-3, rarely four lines long, } line broad, pointed by a recurved 
mucro ; the teeth-like cilia, short, spreading. Pedicels about as long as the calyx, 
in some flowers shorter, in others a little longer. Lobes of calyx acute or mucronu- 
late, longer than the tube. Corolla variable in size, 5-fid, the segments lanceolate, 
blue? Style as long as the corolla, stigma 3-fid. Capsule hemispherical or sub- 
depressed, 10-nerved, spreading or recurved ; the calyx lobes twice longer than the 
valves of capsule. Seeds ovoid, trigonal. Var. 8, is a more rigid shrub with 
panicled inflorescence, the calyx glabrous or hairy. Var. y, is characterized by 
very long, nearly capillary slightly divided branches ; the leaves 1-2 lines long, 
incurved or hooked, evidently mucronulate ; the flowers solitary, in size nearly as 
in var. a. War. 5. is only distinguished by the pubescence.

woody, erect-spreading ; leaves, alternate, reflexed, linear-lanceolate, 
acute, with thickened margins, quite entire or remotely denticulated, 
flat; peduncles divergent, rigid, disposed in a few-flowered, loose raceme ; 
the terminal pedicels 3-4 lines longer than the lanceolate-acuminate 
bractea; tube of calyx hemispherical ; lobes linear-acuminate, entire ; 
corolla deeply 5-fid, 2-3 times longer than the calyx. JZ. anomala,
