Stem erect, like the whole plant, hairy. Leaves ternate, very simple, 



leaflets almost linear. Stipulf^ united at base, summits acute and almost 



setaceous. Flowers in terminal cylindrical spikes. Calyx with the tube 



a little inflated, the segments setaceous, long, and with the tube so villous 



as to make the spike resemble an oblong mass of hair. Corolla shorter 



than the calyx, flowers white with a red spot on each wing. 



Grows, but I believe sparingly, in the ujjper districts of Carolina.
