Stem herbaceous, somewhat four-angled, glabrous, with the branches op- 

 posite. Leaves alternate, one and a half to two inches long, ovate-lanceo- 

 late, conspicuously acuminate, triplinerved, veiny, coarsely serrate, scabrous 

 on both surfaces, but particularly on the upper, on long petioles. Clusters 

 alternate lateral and axillary, few flowered. Willd. 



This species I have not noticed in the low country. Dr. Muhlenberg 

 mentions it as a native of Carolina.
