This plant has much affinitj to the preceding, but I concur with 

 )Valter, in consitUning them distinct. The whole plant is tomen* 

 tose ; the leaves narrovver and longer ; the peduncles almost uniformly 



flowered ; the corolla rose coloured, very hairy, and smaller thaa 

 that of the C. tenellus; tlie capsule tomentose. Their habitat too is 

 distinct* This grows in damp pine barrens, and around ponds in the 

 middle country, in clavey soils.
