Petals ununited. ' 



small, annual, smooth or slightly hairy, lower branches 

 prostrate ; leaves ^-| in. long, sessile, linear-lanceolate, 

 short-pointed, sharply toothed ; flowers ^^ in., sessile 

 or nearly so, in dense clusters, sepals 5, lance late, toothed, 

 petals 5, stamens 5 ; capsule 5-celled, valves brittle, edges 

 turned in, seeds ovoid, many. 



large, annual, smooth, stems succulent ; leaves 2|-6 

 in., lanceolate, sharply toothed, teeth gland-tipped, long- 

 pointed, stalked, stipules of gland-tipped bristles ; flowers 

 1^-1 1 in. long minus the spur, pale pink in terminal ra- 

 cemes or clusters, sometimes branching racemes, sepals 3, 

 2 lateral minute greenish, one lower (lip) petal-like, coloured 

 pink, cup-shaped, prolonged into a hollow curved spur 

 J in. long, petals 3, one upper (standard) broad with a 

 green tip between the 2 side lobes, 2 lower (wings) 

 with lateral lobes, broad, notched on the margin with 

 a little hollow at the base within, stamens 5, anthers 

 cohering above the 5-toothed stigma with filaments clasping 

 the ovary ; capsule linear, club-shaped, beaked, nodding, 

 5-vaived, the valves when ripe, if shaken, curl up elastically 

 and jerk out the numerous large broad seeds. 



like the last species, but a little smaller, a little bristle- 

 like gland between the teeth on the leaf margin, stipules 

 of cushion-like tubercles, lateral sepals ovate-lanceolate, 

 spur long, upper petal not lobed, capsule narrowly club- 

 shaped. 



large, like Impations Eoylei, but the stem groov- 

 ed; flowers, darker pink or purple, capsule longer, less 

 clubbed.

 upper leaves alternate, sessile, stem- clasping, lower leaves 

 opposite, flowers fewer and smaller, capsule hardly clubbed, 

 1-1 1 in. long.
