This species has a more herbaceous and virgate habit than the 

 two preceding^ from which it is readily distinguished by its com- 

 pressed fistulose branching stems and thinner spinulose leaves; 

 its primary branchlets are 10 inches long, its secondary 4 to 6 

 inches^ and its ternary aphyllous and floriferous ramifications are 

 1 to 3 inches long ; the pedicels are alternate, solitary, filiform, 

 3 lines long, and spring out of two sessile minute bracts ; the 



•calyx is sharply 5-keeled, Inline long, the keels being extended 

 into as many sharp setiform teeth, longer than the tube ; the 

 tube of the corolla is 3 lines long, somewhat ventricose, with five 

 narrow linear segments of about the same length; the stamens 



• are quite glabrous, geniculated at their insertion in the contracted 

 base of the tube, the longer pair being about two-thirds of its 

 length ; the anthers consist of two nearly parallel lobes slightly 

 cordate at base, fixed extrorsely on the filaments, and bursting 

 by two furrows externally ; the hypogynous gland is quite ad- 

 nate, somewhat flattened, and supporting the oblong ovary; the 

 style is filiform, 2 lines long; the capsule is 5 lines long, formed 

 like that of the preceding species.

A species near A. littorea, differing in its much more slender 

 habit, sub -herbaceous deeply angled stems and branches, and 

 smaller and more linear leaves ; here the divisions of the calyx 

 are longer, equalling the length of the tube of the corolla, which 

 is less campanulate than in A. littorea ; the segments of the 

 border are also narrower and much longer, being three times 

 (not twice) the length of the tube. The leaves are fleshy, vein- 

 less, and exhibit under the lens a number of minute shining vis-
