Exceedingly variable, both as to the shape of the leaves and their pubes- 
cence. In some situations the stems are nearly erect, and the whole plant 
has the appearance of an annual ; in others they are prostrate, and perfectly 
suffrutescent, like a Helianthemum.

broader, upper ones linear-lanceolate ; stipules subulate: sepals narrow, acu- 
minated, slightly keeled: lower petal nearly orbicular, acute at each end, 
long-un uiculate: capsule somewhat globose : seeds 9, obovoid, shining .

erhaps a mere state of 7. suffruticosum. We exclude the synonyms ad- 
duced byDe Candolle ; that of Plukenet belonging to our last species ; that 
of Rheede (Mal. 9. t. 61) to Polygala arvensis.
