Stem 6-12 inches high or more. Leaf-pairs 1-14 inch apart. Leaves about 
inch long, $ inch wide, the uppermost narrower and gradually shorter, when dry 
membranous and pellucid. The inflorescence varies from a dense spike to a broken 
corymb ; the flowers are subsessile, or very short-stalked, white, 2-3 lines long. 
Drege s 6888, without flowers, may be a dwarf state of this species ; or may be an 
allied and undescribed one.

decumbent, albo-setose, leafy throughout ; leaves opposite, subrotund 
or broadly obovate, very obtuse, thin and flat, densely cartilagineo- 
ciliate, glabrous, or the upper ones setose ; cymes shortly pedunculate, — 
corymbose ; flowers subsessile ; calyx-lobes linear, subcarinate, covered 
with white bristles ; petals connate at base, one-nerved, apiculate ; 
styles shortly subulate ; squamee emarginate. ;

Stem 6-8 inches or more long, slender; branched, flexuous ; the leaf-pairs scarcely 
4 inch apart. Leaves 4-6 lines long, “3-4 lines wide, bordered with white bristles. 
Flowers small, in dense corymbose fascicles. Near C. stachyera but differs in 
habit, inflorescence, and calyx. _” 
28. C. Meyeri (Harv.); siem herbaceous, erect, retrorsely pilose ; 
leaves opposite, longer than the internodes, spreading, oblongo-lanceo-

cymules densely many-flowered, fasciculate, disposed in a leafy ,raceme, 
each fascicle shortly pedunculate, with oblong bracts ; calyx-lobés half 
as long as the recurved corolla, lanceolate, rough at edge and keel ; 
petals nearly free, oblongo-spathulate, mucronulate ; styles shortly sub-

Stem a foot or more in height, simple? as thick as a goose-quill, tapering up-

with long, swollen bristles. Leaves 14-1} inch long, 3-4 lines wide, membrana- 
ceous when dry. Flowers white, 2-3 lines long. This does not agree with the 
character given of C. capitellata, Linn. & Thunb. 
29. C. crenulata (Linn. 1%); stem herbaceous, erect, subsimple, 
glabrous ; leaves opposite, oblongo-lanceolate, obtuse, narrowed or
