Nov.-Dec. (Herb. Thunb., D., Hook, Holm., Sd.) 
Stem 1-14 foot. Leaves often opposite in the lower part of the stem, about 1~2 
inch. long. Flowers at first drooping, but, at length, nearly erect. Calyx covered 
with recurved white hair. Calyx lobes 3 lines long. Corolla bluish-green on the 
outside, dark blue inside at the bottom, but greenish at the origin of the lobes, 
spotted with black within the lobes at the recesses, the lobes violaceous. Capsule 
4 lines long. 
2. W. costata (A. DC.! Prodr. p. 427); stem branched from the 
base ; branches erect, subpilose by short hairs ; leaves linear, narrow, 
acute, with thick, denticulate margins, the lower opposite, upper ones 
alternate ; raceme elongate ; peduncles shorter than the leaves ; calyx 
scabrous, tube hemispherical, shorter than the linear-acuminate, cilio- 
late lobes; corolla cylindraceous, twice longer than the calyx ; capsule 
broadly turbinate, 5-costate or 5-angular. 
Has. Bergvalei, Novb., Drege, 6296. (Herb. D., Sd.) ¢ 
An annual, 2-4 inches high. Stem and branches reddish-brown. Leaves gla- 
brous, or a little hairy, 4-6 lines, the upper ones often 8 lines long, 3-3 line wide. 
Peduncles in the axils of the leaves, from the base of the branches, 1-3-flowered, 
pedicels as long or shorter than the calyx. Corolla rarely 3 times longer than the 
calyx. Lower part of capsule 1 line long, valves erect, a little shorter. 
3. W. divergens (A. DC. ! Prodr. p. 427); stem branched from the 
base; branches divergent, scabrous-hairy ; hairs minute vesiculiform ; 
leaves linear, acute, glabrous, with thick, denticulated margins ; lower 
ones opposite, the upper alternate; peduncles divaricate, dichotomous ; 
pedicels longer than the leaf ; calyx scabrous; tube hemispherical, 
shorter than the linear-acuminate, denticulate lobes; corolla cylindra- 
ceous, twice longer than the calyx ; capsule broadly turbinate, 5-costate. 
Has. Sandy hills near Ebenezar, Nov., Drege, 6299. (Also W. ramulosa, b. in 
Herb., Sd.) (Herb. D., Sd.) 
Distinct by the much spreading branches and pedicels. Annual, 2-3 inches high ; 
branches opposite, upper ones alternate, ending in a divaricate racemose panicle. 
Leaves 4 lines long. Pedicels 2--4 lines long. Calyx lobes minutely toothed. 
Capsule 1 line long, the base twice longer than the valves, but nearly twice 
shorter than the calyx lobes. 
4. W. decipiens (A. DC. ! 1 c.); stem much-branched, erect, finely 
scabrous; leaves opposite and alternate, linear, acuminate, subspinous, 
rigid, subdenticulate; peduncles dichotomous, divaricate, disposed in 
a terminal racemose-panicle ; bracts a little shorter than the pedicels;
