lets^ which are densely clothed with thick cottony tomentum^ out 

 of which issue four or five alternate projecting glabrous hollow 

 caps, some of which are bare, but generally from each arises a 

 solitary slender woolly pedicel 1 line long : the calyx is com- 

 monly glabrous, very rarely pubescent, a line long : the tube of 

 the campanular corolla is 2 lines long, and its segments are 

 about the same length.

Although closely related, this appears more than a mere va- 

 riety of the former species, differing in its more slender and more 

 virgate habit, the shape of its more refracted and more distant 

 leaves, its much shorter and white tomentum, and the shape of 

 its tomentose calyx. The leaves are much more diffuse, some- 

 what conduphcate, 5-7 lines long, 2 lines broad ; the pedicel is 

 2 lines long, rather stout ; the calycine cup is barely a line long 

 and wide, with five broad triangular teeth of nearly equal length ; 

 the corolla is about the size of that of the former species.

Tliis is a plant with still more slender branches than the last, 

 with more glabrous and smaller leaves, and all sparsely covered 

 with very short rigid ramose or branching hairs, making it 

 almost scabrous : the leaves are about 4, rarely 5 lines long and 

 2 lines broad, upon a very short slender pubescent petiole : the 

 flowers are few and almost solitary at the termination of the 

 nascent branchlets, upon a capillary pedicel 3 lines in length ; 

 the calyx, including the narrow teeth, which are half its len-th.
