linear; old ones ovate, 3 nerved, rather obtuse, 



the extremities of the branches opposite, and so much compouDded as 

 to give the flowers the appearance of a crowded panicle. Segments ot 

 the corolla lanceolate. Fruit hispid, with hooked hairs. 



If this be the real G. Bermudense of Linnseus, the leaves should m 

 described as ovate and 3 nerved, instead of linear.
