Perennial. August, September. 



Stem much branched from the base, recumbent, leafy, though 

 woodv not very durable ; and in gardens, where this phxnt is 

 cultivated for the sake of its honey-scentedy/o?rer5, it is gene- 

 rally treated as an annual. The, herbage is hoary, or rather 

 glaucous, with close-pressed silvery hairs. Leaves linear-lan- 

 ceolate, tapering at the base, Fl. very abundant, in dense, tufted, 

 or corymbose, clusters, much elongated when in fruit. Pet. 

 roundish, of a brilliant white ; but in fiiding their claws, like 

 the stamens, assume a violet hue. Poucfi orbicular, smooth and 

 polished, a little tumid, with one seed in each cell.

U})right, mostly branched, herbs, with oblong leaves., clasp-
