PuxGO Andongo. — An annual herb, scarcely a foot high, branched 

 from the base ; branches ascending ; leaves flaccid, usually purplish 

 below ; flowers small, orange-coloured ; capsule-prickles not hooked

 Caghuy and Mangue ; fl. and fr. middle of April 1857, rather rare.

 constitutes the type of the species) the hairs are appressed and simple 

 or nearly so. 



Var. 1 paradoxa (Welw.). 



An annual erect slender herb ; branches erect-patent, shaggy ; 

 leaves ovate-lanceolate, subobtuse, subapiculate, rounded at the 

 base, thin, obtusely serrate, scattered with appressed subsimple 

 hairs on both surfaces, 2 by 1 in. or larger ; petiole k to 4 in. long,
