Radix annua v. subperennis, perpendicularis v. oblique descendens subsimplex, 
parce ramulosa, pro proportione tenuis. — Caules ex eadem radice saepissime so< 
litarii, rarius pauci, erecti, stricti, simplices v. inferne ramosi, teretiusculi, obiter 
striato-angulosi, fere omnino leves, usque ad racemos densiuseule foliosi, 1—5-, sae- 
pius 21/-pedales ; rami valde elongati, saepius numerosi, stricti, apiceque in racemos 
valde elongatos abeuntes. — Folia integra, lineari- v. anguste lanceolato-spathulaia
