Perennial. August. 



Roots fibrous, small. Stems several, short, branched, recumbent, 

 leafy 5 a few of them ascending, elongated, and each termi- 

 nating in a comparatively large, erect, dense, leafy, acute, 

 yellowish, solitary spike, about an inch in length. Leaves im- 

 bricated, lanceolate, acute, ribless, fringed, or rather toothed j 

 those of the branches bright green j of the spike larger, yellower, 

 spreading, and more deeply serrated. Caps, axillary, solitary; 

 those in the upper part of each spike bivalve, full of chaify seeds, 

 such as are proper to the genus; those of the lower half rounder, 

 more tumid, each containing four white globular bodies, one 

 placed upon the other three. To the nature of these bodies I 

 have, with much diffidence, adverted under the generic cha- 

 racter.
