This species is readily recognizable by its opposite leaves, small 

 campanulate corolla, and longish subfiliform calycine teeth, often 

 somewhat curled.

Var. /5 appendiculata DC. Prodr. iv. 442. I have had no 

 opportunity of seeing this plant ; it is recorded as collected in 

 Porto Eico. 



Grisebach (Fl. Br. W. Ind. 320) merges this species in H. lutea 

 Eohr, describing it as "a form with the cymes exceeded by 

 dichotomous branches." Swartz, however, describes the corolla 

 as tubular, as is that of the specimen in the National Herbarium 

 collected by him, which is quite distinct from H. lutea ; I see no 

 reason, therefore, why H. axillaris should not be maiijtained.
