diffuse smooth, leaves sessile reniform suben- 

 tire, capsules axillary solitary oblong, crowned 

 by ovatoblong teeth. — Annual also, discovered 

 in 1818 on rocks near Baltimore out of bloom 

 as early as May, and also in the Alleghany 

 Mts. This was deemed by Torrey a peculiar 

 state of Legousia amplexlcaulis, although that

 Myctanthes Slc.
