T I|^^^^^^^'^"ces in the hairiness of the upper lobes of the corolla, as already observed by 

 J- D. Hooker, appear far too variable to serve for specific characters. The Northern speci- 

 mens are generally more slender, with smaller flowers, than the Southern ones, but I can 



nnd no other difference. 



3. L, dentata, Cav, Ic, vi. 14. t. 522. Very nearly allied to, and probahly 

 a variety of i. gibbom, but weaker, aud uot so erect, sometimes very scram- 

 bling and almost twining, approaching in foliage and inflorescence the L.gra^ 

 cili% Lower leaves small, ovate, deeply cnt, the others few, narrow, pinna- 

 tihd or toothed. Eaceme very loose, the flowers fewer, on longer pedicels than 

 ^"^L.gibhom, but as large as in that species, the middle lower lobe oblong, not 

 obovate as in Z. gracilm. Capsule obovoid, broad, very oblique, and gibbous 



on the upper side. Seeds small, ovoid or's-angled, smooth.

4. L. gracilis, Andr. Bot. Rep. t. 340. A glabrous annual, erect or 

 t>ranchiiig and shortly decumbent at the base, more slender than L. (jMosa, 

 and usually under 1 ft. high. Leaves small, the lowest ones ovate and deeply 

 cut, the others lanceolate and piniiatifid, or linear and toothed or entire, all 

 ^aiTOTTed at the base. Flowers rather smaller than in L. glbbom, on long 

 P^Jicels, in a very loose, unilateral raceme, the lower subtending bracts often 

 ?>0'-e or less leaf-like. Calyx of L. mbbosa. Corolla with the middle lower
