 with 2-3, erect, sim[)le, slender, terete but tetragonous-terete above, glabrous, 

 often purplish, attaining about 60 cm. in height. Leaves opposite, sessile, 

 linear, acuminate, usually longer than internodes, but the inferior ones 

 lanceolate-linear obtuse and shorter than the superior ones, entire and 

 usually subtilely scabrous on the margin, thickly herbaceous, but coriaceous 

 when dried, glabrous, green above, paler beneath, obscurely triplinerved. 

 Flowers 1-4-aggregate at the top of the stem and axillary above, the 

 size form and colour as in those of the var. Buergeri, but the tip of 

 corolla-lobes more acute.
