wlien tliese are wom oif, roiiyli with their tubercular hases. Leaves sessile, 

 not crowded, scattered, from ovate-lanceokte to linear-obloug, obtuse, mostly 

 ^ to f in. long, the margins revolute, obtuse at the base, scabrous or setose 

 , on the upper side, glabrous and glaucous underneath, except a few setae on 

 the midrib. Pedicels very slender, 3 to 6, or rarely 7 or 8 lines long, more 

 thickened and turbinate under the flower than in most other species. Flowers 

 5-raerous, Sepals glabrous. Petals rather narrow, 4 to 6 lines long. An- 

 thers glabrous, their tubular points rather shorter than the cells. Ovary gla- 

 brous, with 1-ovulate cells. Capsule usually ripening only 1 glabrous shining 

 seed, with an unusually large strophiola. — T. elongata^ Schuch. Syn. Trem,

 Stems rather rigid and erect, \ to 1| ft. high, minutely pubescent and often 

 hispid with a few long spreading reddish hairs. Leaves mostly alternate, 

 but here and there a few verticillate, from ovate-lanceolate to obiong-llnear, 

 obtuse, all under | in. in the smaller specimens, nearly 1 in, long when lux- 

 uriant, the margins recurved, with an obtuse base, more or less hirsute above, 

 villous or pubescent underneaih. Pedicels slender, f to 1 in. long, very 

 slightly thictened under the calyx. Flowers rather large. Sepals lanceolate. 

 Petals oblong. Anthers smooth or slightly rough, the tube about as long as
