nearly as long as the spreading calyx-lobes. Var. 8 may be a different species, it 
is only beset with alternate leaves on the lower part of the stem, which is a little 
hairy near the base, and 2-3 times forked in the upper parts ; the leaves are quite 
the same, 3--5 lines long ; calyx, corolla and capsule the same size. 
20. W. paniculata (A. DC. Monog. p. 153); stem much branched, 
hairy ; leaves linear-lanceolate or lanceolate-acuminate, entire or sub- 
denticulated, with incrassate margins ; peduncles dichotomous, longer 
than the bractea and calyx, paniculate ; tube of calyx hairy, obovate 
or turbinate, shorter than the linear, acuminate entire lobes ; corolla 
infundibuliform, 5-lobed at the apex, twice longer than the calyx; 
capsule turbinate or obovate. 
Var. a. Thunbergii; stem with short indument ; branches subflexuous, spread- 
ing, leaves lanceolate-acuminate ; pedicels longish, forming a remotiflowered pani-

Annual, very variable in size, from 3-inches to 1 foot high, generally branched 
from the base only, simple to the middle. Branches erect or spreading. Leaves 
scattered, 4-5 lines long, about i-line wide, often smaller, 2—3 lines long and nearly 
linear, hairy or subglabrous, often quite entire. Peduncles 2-6; but im var. a. . 
6-10 lines long, and more rigid. Calyx 2-24 lines long, tube usually cuneate, but 
sometimes hemispherical in the same specimens, pubescent or hispid, the lobes very 
narrow, erect. Corolla 3-4 lines long ; in var. . with a violet or blue tube. Cap- 
sule 14--2 lines long ; the valves short. 
21. W. polyclada (A. DC. ! Prod. p. 789); whole plant spreading, 
hairy ; stem branched from the base, branches divergent, subangular 
above ; leaves scattered, ovate-acute or ovate-lanceolate, with thick, 
subrevolute, denticulate margins ; flowers panicled; pedicels shorter 
than the bractea or the calyx ; tube of calyx hemispherical, shorter 
than the acuminate lobes ; corolla infundibuliform, 5-lobed at the apex, 
4-times longer than the calyx; capsule hemispherical, W. pilosa, DC.
