I found this weakly fhrub in the lower mountains of St. Mary's ; it rifes 

 by a very branched flexile ftem to the height of about feven feet, ar 

 where adorned with moderately large oval leaves difpofed in an oppofite order : the 

 twigs or boughs begin to {hoot almoft immediately above the root -, and they, as 

 well as the fucceeding branches, rife generally to the height of the main ftem, and 

 are furniihed with moderate bunches of flowers towards the «top, which generally 

 rife by long branched foot-ftalks from the alae of the leaves.
