Descr.—Root ligneous, simple, with few fibres, annual? Leaves, 
many at the crown, rosulate, obovate-oblong, tapering much at base, 
more or less crenate, rarely quite entire, obtuse, thickish, not conspi- 
cuously veiny, glabrous or minutely pulverulent, 2-24 inches long, 4-6 
lines wide. Stem scapelike, nude or with 1-2 small empty bracts, 
ending in a raceme, minutely puberulous. Raceme many-flowered, at 
first subcapitate, lengthening as the flowers open and the fruits ripen. 
Bracts subulate, eq. the pedicel. Calyx-lobes linear-lanceolate, pul- 
verulent. Corolla * pale buff,” twice as long as the calyx, pulveru- 
lent, the lobes oblong or obovate. Anteal stamens in the throat, very 
short, with abortive, transverse anthers! Capsule longer than the 
A pretty little plant, with the foliage of a daisy, and flowers not 
unlike those of a Verbena. Whilst agreeing in every other character 
with its congeners, it differs in the stamens ; the two upper of which 
I have constantly found to be, as represented in our plate, abortive. By 
this last character, but by no other, it agrees with Nycterinia.
