Brown or paler, stout or stoutish herbs. Stem simple. Leaves scale-like, approximate 
or crowded, or slightly scattered in age, those at the base of the stem the broadest. Flowers 
in a dense terminal spike or a corymbiform glomerule, erect or ascending, the bracts broad, 
often shorter than the flowers. Sepals 2, or sometimes 4, persistent, bract-like, narrow, often 
very narrow. Corolla urceolate to campanulate, pubescent within, with 4-6 broad ascending 
or spreading lobes as long as the tube or shorter. Stamens 8-10, mostly included; filaments 
slender, pubescent with long hairs; anthers oblong, erect on the apex of the much narrower 
filament, the sacs opening lengthwise. Ovary ovoid, or nearly so, 1-celled, with 4 or 5 two- 
lobed placentae; style pubescent; stigma depressed-capitate. Capsule 1-celled, short, usually 
ovoid. 
Type species, Hemitomes congestum A. Gray. 
Corolla-lobes about one third or one half as long as the tube. 
Inflorescence a corymbiform glomerule; anthers narrowly oblong, the sacs _ 
opening close to the connective. : : 1. N. congeste. 
Inflorescence a compact spike; anthers broadly oblong, the sacs opening : 
remote from the connective. 2. N. spicata.
