broad, sessile, hispidly pilose. Spi/ces terminating the branches, unilateral. 

 Flowers on short pedicels. Calyx campanulate, at first scarcely longer

 large as in M. palustris, blue? hypocrateriform, border 5-lobed ; lobes

 ed ; anthers oblong. Style not exserted. Seeds depressed-ovate, convex

Hab. Barren deserts along the Platte. 



Obs. This appears to be a genuine species of Myosotis, 

 and is I believe the only suffrutescent one in America.

301. Onosmodium molle, Michx. ft. i. p. 133. t. 15. 

 Near St. Louis, and high up on the Missouri. This appears 

 to differ from a specimen which I received from Mr. Nuttall, 

 collected by him on the Arkansa. His plant is perhaps the 

 Onosma strigosum of Kunth.
