I have specimens collected in this State agreeing exactly with the H. 

 totundcfolia. excepting in the length of the peduncle, a character some- 

 what variable in this genus. Stem procumbent creeping and finally assur- 

 gent, hairy, the hairs pellucid and jointed Leaves nearly orbicular, 

 slightly serrulate, a little hairy, leaves half embracing the stem. PeduU' 

 clcn about half as long as the leaves, sometimes longer. The three outward 

 leaves of the calyx large, the first almost leaf-like, the two interior subu- 

 late, very small.' Corolla azure, the border 4-cleft, the segments ob- 

 Ovate and emarginatg. Stamens short, inserted between the segments 

 of the corolla. Anthers sagittate. Style short, 2-cleft. Stigma 

 timple. Seed oblong, truncate, dotted. 



Grows along the margin of ponds in wet soils in the middle country os 

 Carolina and (Jeorcria.
