(Species. L. * grandiflora. Perennial; leaves nearly 
round, thickish, entire and nerveless, subamplexicaule;. 
peduncles very long, axillary and terminal; stamina 4, the 
2 which are sterile and forked partly exSerted; stem creep- 
ing. Has. On the spongy margins of sandy springs and 
ponds in Georgia, (betwixt Savannah and Augusta in ma- 
ny places.) Oss. Stem profusely creeping, angular. 
Leaves opaque, crowded, nearly round very smooth, 
only 3 or a Wes in length. Peduncle 10 to 15 lines long. 
Calix divided to the base, segments linear and subulate. 
Corolla large, of a violet blue, lower lip paler, 3-lobed, 
lobes rounded, upper lip very short, bidentate. “The 2 
fertile stamina situated near the base of the tube, simple; 
the 2 infertile stamina, partly exserted, and forked, end- 
ing obtusely, the lateral stipe very slender, producitg an 
imperfect 1-ceiled anther. Stigma bilammellate. Cap- 
sule ovate, 2-celled, 2-valved, valves not inflected or sep- 
tiferous; the alated margin of the seminal receptacle pro- 
ducing a parallel dissepiment, which is rarely visible be- 
fore the ripening of the seed, hence I have been led into 
an error in asserting the capsule tobe l-celled. To intro- 
duce this interesting and beautiful species, as well as to 
correct an error, has been my motive for the second in- 
sertion of this genus, which from its affinity to Herpestis 
rather than to Gratiola ought still stained in this 
class, rather than DianpDria.) — si
