What is chiefly remarkable in this last species, besides its 
being herbaceous, is the diversity in the situation of the leaves, 
some of which, and consequently the flowers, are alternate, 
others opposite, or even three together, on different branches from 
. thesame root. I have remarked other instances in New Holland 
plants of a similar irregularity, some "E eas E wn n a
