Var. 8. major; plant stronger, stems numerous from the roots, leaves broader, 
pedicels more distant, not panicled.

Annual, very slender, and commonly much branched, 2-4 ; var. 8. 6-12 ins, high. 
Leaves 4-8 lines long, 4-1 line wide, alternate, or opposite at the base of the stem. 
Pedicels numerous, 4-6 lines long, reddish, glabrous, erect or ascending. Calyx 
in flower 1 line, in fruit oblong-cuneate 2 lines long, terete, striate, crowned by the 
very short calyx-lobes, which are longer than the valves of capsule. The corolla is 
scarcely longer than a line. Var 8. has the habit and size of W. paniculata, A. DC. 
from which it differs by the leaves, flowers and narrow, longish capsule. 
26. W. Caffra (A. DC. Prod. p. 432); stems erect, subpilose, simple 
at the base, branched above, glabrous; leaves scattered, alternate, 
opposite or ternate, numerous, linear-acuminate, serrulate, glabrous; 
panicle few-flowered, coarctate ; pedicels as long as the bractea; tube of 
calyx glabrous, obovoid, terete; lobes linear-acuminate, spreading at 
the apex, reflexed on the margins, longer than the tube; corolla 5-fid, 
tubulose, one half longer than the calycine-lobes ; capsule hemisphe- 
rical, 1o-nerved. Lightfootia, 6307, Hb. Drege, fide, A. DC. 
Has. Caffraria, Drege. 
Root elongate, simple. Stems 3-4, leafy, 4 foot high. Leaves 3-4 lines long, 
1 line wide. Flowers small. Capsule 3-locular, valves acute, a little shorter than 
the calycine-lobes. Ihave not seen any authentic specimen. Drege’s, 6307, as 
quoted by Decandolle, is Z. denticulata in herb. Sond. 
27, W. Bowkeriz (Sond.) ; quite glabrous, stem erect, few-branched, 
terete; leaves scattered, alternate, linear, acute or apiculate, denticu- 
late on the incrassate margins; flowers terminal, 1-3, shortly pedicel- 
late; tube of calyx hemispherical, shorter than the lanceolate 
denticulate lobes; corolla infundibuliform, 2-3 times longer than the 
calyx, deeply 5-lobed ; capsule hemispherical, 10-nerved. 
Has. Somerset, Miss Bowker. (Herb. Hook.) 
The herbaceous (annual?) stems 1 foot or more high, leafy from the base to the 
flowers. Leaves 4-6 lines long, 1 line wide, erect, acute or obtuse, with a minute 
mucro ; the margins whitish, with 3-6 very small teeth. Peduncles 2—4 lines long, 
with 1 or 2 minute bracts. Calyx 14 line long. Corolla with ovate, acute lobes. 
capsule with erect calycine lobes, longer than the valves. 
28. W. capillacea (A. DC.! Monog. p. 156) ; stems erect, simple, 
rarely branched, glabrous, but minutely hairy at the base; leaves 
numerous, alternate, fasciculate, linear-filiform, entire, with revolute 
margins ; panicle terminal, leafless ; pedicels filiform, 2-6 times longer 
than the bractea; tube of calyx hemispherical, lobes linear-acuminate 
longer than the tube ; corolla infundibuliform, 3-4 times longer than
