glabrous, or a little hairy. Peduncles commonly longer (2-4 times), rarely as long, 
or a little shorter than the calyx. Corolla 4~5 lines long. Capsule hemispherical, 
or roundish or broadly-turbinate, glabrous or minutely downy, 2~3 times shorter 
than the spreading lobes ; valves about equal to the base of capsule. It seems to be 
an annual plant. 
7. W. debilis (Buek! 1. c. 2370); stem herbaceous, much branched 
from the base ; branches filiform, dichotomous, diffused, minutely hairy ; 
leaves alternate or opposite at the base, lanceolate, with incrassate, den- 
ticulated margins, glabrous ; peduncles elongate, axillary, and termi- 
nal, capillary, 1-flowered ; tube of calyx hemispherical, twice shorter 
than the setaceous lobes ; corolla tubulose, 5-lobed at the apex, nearly 
as long as the calyx ; capsule subglobose.

A small annual, 3-4 inches high, with opposite, lower, and alternate upper 
branches. Leaves 3~4) lines-long, 1 line wide, upper ones narrow, 2-1 line wide, 
spreading or recurved. Peduncles } inch long. Flower 1-11 line. Style glabrous, 
as long as the corolla. Capsule, which I have not seen in a ripe state, is described 
by Dr. Buek as §-celled, scarcely 1 line in diameter. 
8. W. pilosa (Buek ! 1. c. 2385); stem herbaceous, much branched 
from the base ; branches ascendent, hispid by white hairs ; leaves 
alternate, lanceolate, or linear-lanceolate, denticulated, hairy or sub- 
glabrous ; flowers panicled ; peduncles as long or longer than the calyx ; 
tube of caylx hemispherical, hispid, a little shorter than the linear 
lobes ; corolla infundibuliform, 5-lobed at the apex, 3-times longer 
than the calyx; capsule spherical, 5-costate, pilose. :

Annual, } foot to a span high, quite similar to W. polyclada, DC., from which it 
differs by smaller calyx-lobes and 5-costate, 5-valved, not terete, 3-valved capsule. 
Leaves 4--6 lines long, nearly 1 line wide. Flowering calyx 2 lines, corolla 5--6 
lines long. Capsule with spreading recurved calyx lobes, equal in length, but a 
little longer than the valves. 
§ 2. Capsule 3-celled, rarely 2-celled. (Sp. 9-46.) 
9. W. flaccida (A. DC, Monog. p. 138); rather hairy; stem erect, 
simple, rather leafy; leaves opposite and alternate, ovate, acute entire; 
peduncle terminal, 1~-2-flowered, leafy ; tube of calyx hairy, ovoid ; 
lobes lanceolate-acuminate, erect, equal ; corolla 5-lobed, one half

10. W. stellarioides (Cham.! in Linnea, vol. 8, p. 196); glabrous 
or nearly so ; stems ascendent, subczspitose, as well as the branches 
filiform, tetragonal ; leaves opposite, approximate at the base, ovato- 
lanceolate, or linear lanceolate, acute, with incrassate, revolute, quite 
entire margins, glabrous or hairy on the middle nerve beneath; pe- 
duncles terminal or axillary, solitary, naked ; tube of calyx glabrous,
