From H. macrosperma, (Burch.) which we have not seen, 
this species evidently differs in the conspicuous, though ex- 
tremely narrow, transparent margin of its seeds, which are 
one line in diameter, perfectly circular or slightly ovate, very 
little convex on both sides, of a reddish-brown in the middle, 
and dark brown towards the white membranaceous margin. 
In habit the plant resembles very much H. scoparia and 
virgata, and also Brachycarpea varians. The branches are 
round and smooth, and somewhat glaucous towards the 
summit; the leaves rather numerous and approximated, 
perfectly sessile, scarcely attenuated towards their base, not 
exceeding 8 lines in length, and 2 lines in breadth, terminated 
by a small brown or redde callous point, except the lowest 
of each branch, which are usually quite blunt or even rounded 
at the apex ; to judge from their thickness and their veinless 
wrinkled surface, they seem to have been rather fleshy, and 
probably convex beneath. Racemes five inches long, quite 
unbranched, and leafless, the distance between each flower 
always, at least, equal to their length (sometimes even more 
than an inch), pedicels solitary, semi-erect, 2-3 lines e 
. filiform, scarcely thickened at the top, unchanged after 
. flowering, whether in length or in direction. Petals double
