A I'^^-V^' ^—^ ^fet high, with branches diffuse, spreading. Letive& 

 thin, delicate, finely serrulate. Corolla much larger tliau in the pre- 

 ceding species, nearly glabrous, white. *^ 



These two species appear to me to have been confounded by the Eu- 

 ropean botanists. This is distinguished bj its^thiu, oval leaves, and 

 larger flowers j the former by its thick, acuminate leaves, and tomen- 

 tose corolla. This is pretty certainly the plant figured in the Botan- 



izine ; the former evidently the S. Iseve of Walter^ The 

 other references are uncertain. 



Grows along the margins of the Ogeeclfee river, Georgia.
