Near the following and preceding ; from the last it differs by much branched 
stems with divaricate peduncles, smaller, coriaceous leaves and much smaller flowers. 
From W. patula it is distinguished by glabrous branches, coriaceous, smaller leaves 
and flowers and shorter calyx-lobes. Stems 1-14 foot high. Radical leaves 1 inch, 
2-3 lines wide, ciliated-hairy at the base and on the middlenerve beneath ; stem 
leaves none, or a few smaller, Peduncles 3-5-times dichotomous, filiform ; pedicels 
1-1} inch. Calyx 1 line, corolla 3 lines long. Style without gland or ring. Cap- 
sule 2 lines long, crowned by the twice shorter spreading calyx-lobes ; valves obtuse. 
43. W. patula (A. DC.! Prod. p. 436); stem much branched from 
the base, diffuse, hairy at the base, glabrous above; branches divari- 
cate, dichotomous ; leaves petiolate, ovate, acute, membranous, gla- 
brous, coarsely dentate, upper ones lanceolate ; bractese minute, linear 
or wanting ; calyx glabrous, tube hemispherical, twice shorter than the 
linear acuminate lobes ; corolla infundibuliform, sub 5-fid, twice longer 
than the calycine-lobes ; capsule ovoid, 3-celled.

44, W. adpressa (Sond.); stem erect, woody, simple or branched ;
