Root animal? Stem 2 — 4 feet highj scabrous and very much branched. 

 The Leaves sometimes nearly 2 inches long by 1 1-2 lines wide, larger and 

 more linear lanceolate than in any of the preceding species. Corolla lar^e, 

 pubescent^ bright purple. Peduncles rarely more than 2 lines in length. 

 Anthers scarcely as long as the tube of the corolla. Style longer than the 

 stamens. 



This specie^ diifers from G. Fascicidata hi its habit which is more diffuse 

 and spreading, and by its leaves which are larger and more distinctly line- 

 ar lanceolate^ though still very narrow and not ftisciculate. From all the 

 other species it is sufllciently distinct. 



Grows in damp soils, very generally diffused. 

 Flowers August — October. ""
