branched, branches short, villous, diffuse; leaves crowded, opposite, 
and alternate, obovate or oblong-lanceolate, acute, remotely denticulate, 
marginate, ciliate at the base ; flowers solitary, terminal, shortly pedun-

acuminate, marginate, entire or subdenticulate, as long as the tube;

Nov. (Herb. Sd., Hook, D.) 
A perennial, resembling the Alpine Edraianthus, prostrate, the twigs very

wide, glabrous, except the base. Peduncle 1-3 lines long, hairy. Corolla 4 inch 
long, 5-lobed at the apex. Capsule crowned by the erect calyx-lobes.

erect, terete, branched at the base; leaves erect, alternate, linear, den- 
ticulate, lower ones opposite ; flowers terminal and lateral, sessile; 
tube of calyx obconical, lobes linear, denticulate, acute, longer than

capsule turbinate. 
Has. Cape of Good Hope, Burmann. (Unknown to me.) 
Root annual, simple, 2 inches long. Stem rigid, thickish, 2 inches high. Leaves 
very narrow, 4-5 lineslong. Flowers few, 3 lines long. Valves of the capsule 3, 
a little shorter than the calyx-lobes. 
16. W. acaulis (E. Mey.! in Herb. Drege) ; root elongate, simple ; 
stem or branches very short, condensate ; leaves petiolate, hairy, lower 
ones obovate, obtuse, subdentate, angustate in a longer ciliate petiole ; 
the others lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, dentate, attenuate in a 
shorter petiole; flowers sessile, terminal and lateral; tube of calyx 
obovoid, terete, hairy, with nearly glabrous lanceolate, acute lobes ; 
corolla infundibuliform, 5-lobed at the apex, 3 times longer than the
