lanceolato-spathulatis: floribus hexameris cire. 18-andris albidis anguste racemosis, 
sepalis persistentibus lineari-spathulatis petala aequantibus demum non ampliatis, pe-

Descriptio: 
Radix (nob. haud obvia. Caules herbacei, basi duriusculi quidem sed annui 
(ex sectione transversali) humiles cire. 1$-—25°" Jongi, rigidiuseuli, valde ramosi, 
foliosi, suberecti, flexuosi, decursu foliorum caulinorum lineis pallidis prominentibus 
nolati, caeterum teretes, opaci, glauco-virides.  Rami numerosi, divergenter-patuli, 
ab inferioribus ad superiores gradatim breviores, unde habitus totius plantae subpy- 
ramidalis. — Folia omnia integra, carnosula, glauco-viridia, erecto-patula, lanceo- 
lato-subspathulata 12-14" longa, ad margines (lentis ope) minute papilloso-asperula ; 
caulina in axillis semper ramulum floriferum gerentia, summa paulo minora. Nervuli 
laterales utroque latere cire. 5. — Flores in racemum primum densiusculum vix 
semipollicarem dein sub fructu laxum elongatum, fere dimidium eaulem aequantem 
dispositi. — Bracteae obovatae obtusae, 11/"" longae, pedicellos dimidios sub flore 
aequantes v. paulo superantes, margine asperulae. — Pedicelli florigeri 1--3"" 
longi, sepalis breviores, sulcato-angulosi, in angulis asperuli, fructiferi cire. 6"” 
longi, horizontales v. deflexo-patuli, capsulis breviores. — Calyx 6-sepalus, sepala 
312"" longa, basi 3; superne 4/,""
