It is also said sometimes to have white flowers, with a purple 

 eye. Leaves dotted underneath ; mostly opposite, sometimes 4 

 together. Fruit-stalk not twice the length of the leaves. Fila- 

 ments united at the base. Caps, marked with 5 lines as if the 

 seams of so many valves, but it always separates transversely 

 into 2 parts. 



Every part of this plant is singularly beautiful, and will 

 amply repay the trouble of a minute examination.
