II. Hastatae. Green and glabrate or furfuraceous or farinose, erect to procumbent 
annuals. Lower leaves opposite, the upper alternate, all usually petiolate, the blades deltoid to 
linear, often hastate, entire or dentate. Flowers monoecious, in axillary or spicate glomerules.

base, entire or dentate, the sides smooth or appendaged. Radicle inferior, or in one species su- 
perior.

obtusely angled, sparsely farinose; lower leaves opposite, the upper alternate, sessile, the blades 
cuneate-obovate to oblong, 9-17 mm. long, 4-8 mm. wide, rounded or obtuse at the apex, 
cuneate at the base, entire, thin, pale-green, sparsely and finely farinose; flowers monoecious, 
in few-flowered axillary glomerules; calyx 4-cleft; fruiting bracts usually on long slender pedi- 
cels, elliptic-oblong or oblanceolate, 4-6 mm. long, obtuse or acutish, nearly free at the narrowed
