"Stem downy; leaves cordate, acuminate, entire, hairy on both surfaces, lobes 

 rounded; peduncles l-tlowered, shorter than the petioles, hibracteate near the 

 calyx; sepals acuminate, spreading, reflexed, densely bearded at the base; the cam- 

 panulately funnel-shaped corolla 5 lobed. slightly crenulate, limb azure, the tube 

 nearly white ; capsule smooth, 3-celled, cells 2-seeded, seeds black, roughish-dowuy." 



Our plant differs from the above description solely in the peduncles with two, or 

 seldom three, dowers. Mr. Charles L. Pollard, on comparing it with the illustration 

 of Sweet, linds it to differ in no essential point.
