 of the Dismal- swamp in North Carolina, a species 

 belonging to this genus, of which have no specimen 

 in my Herbarium, and which probably may be the

 and acute ; the flowers nearly sessile in the axils of the 

 leaves, solitary or by two or three ; the petals are long 

 and acute, pale red 5 capsules long, prismatic.
