This species resembles the G. Purpurea in the size and form of it^ 

 leaves^ but diflers by its smoothness^ and very widely in its corolla and pe^ 



duncle. • ^ 



The plants I have examined^ appear also to differ in many respects from 

 the G, T'enuifolia of Nuttall, perhaps many species remain yet to be distin- 

 guished. 



Grows m dry sandy soils, about 2 miles from Beaufort on the Battery 

 road, to mc very rare. 



Flowers August — October.

Root perennial^ creeping^ Nutt- Stem 2 — 3 feet high^ virgate, with 

 slender, erect, twiggy branches. Leaves as ia the two preceding species ve- 

 ry narrow, linear lanceolate, in general closely appressed to the stem- Fe- 

 dunclesy during the expansion <A the flower, shorter than the leaves, before 

 the capsules ripen as long or longer. Calyx very minutely 5-toothed- 

 Corolla large, purple. Stamens about half as long as the corolla. Styh 

 as long as the stamens. Stigmq. acute. 



This species is very remarkable by its erect virgate branches, Its leaves 

 in general are not shorter than the peduncles, yet if it it is not the G» 

 Erecta of Walter that species remauis to be detected.
