31. G. leptoclada, Benth. A glabrous or minutely pubescent peren- 

 Tual, with slender but rigid procumbent or ascending scarcely branched stems, 

 not exceeding 6 in. in our specimens. Radical leaves petiolate, oblong- 

 cuneate or oblanceolate, entire or with a few prominent teeth, often above 1 

 in. long; stem-leaves sessile, stem-clasping, ovate or oblong, under ^ in. long 

 or the lower ones rarely longer, all thick and coriaceous. Peduncles 1- 

 jiowered in the upper axils, much longer than the leaves, with a pair of linear 

 bracteoles at some distance from the flower. Calyx-lobes linear, rather long. 

 Urolla apparently blue, pubescent outside, about \ in. long, the 2 upper 

 ^bes deeply separated and rather unequally winged, but not auriculate. 

 issepiment of the ovary very short; ovules 'few. Capsule small, ovoid or 

 globular. Seeds very few, orbicular, rather large, not winged.
