E. pictUS, Curran in herb. 



Viscid-pubescent, from a span to a foot high, simple or 

 branched from the base, the stems somewhat rigid, and 

 lightly wing-angled: leaves ovate to oblong, an inch long 

 with a few salient teeth, obtuse or the uppermost acutish: 

 calyx gibbous at base, the teeth ovate, obtuse, one-fourth as 

 long as the tube: throat of corolla dark crimson; the limb 

 white, with broad veins and transverse bars of crimson : cap-

 corolla crimson in the centre, with delicate veins of the 

 same color marking the white marginal part; the border 

 gland ular-ciliolate: capsule ovate-lanceolate, acuminate,
