 to four feet high, with spreading branches. Leaves opposite, short 

 stemmed, thin, ovate, hairy beneath when young, and a few of 

 them heart-shaped at base ; also, ciliate, the margin being more or 

 less fringed with parallel hairs. Flowers yellow, funnel-shaped, 

 hardly an inch long, and growing in pairs in the axils of the leaves. 

 The style projects out of the corolla, which has short, acute divis- 

 ions, and a slight spur at base, below a swell. Berries egg-shaped, 

 in pairs, not growing into each other. — IMountains ; Vermont, New 

 Hampshire. — May, June.

 inverted egg-shaped. When young, they are quite hairy; but 

 they grow smoother by age. Flowers in the shoulders of the 

 leaves — yellow, funnel-shaped, about half an inch long, with stems 

 much shorter — the corolla hairy, and style protruding. Berries 

 red, or purple, in pairs, growing into each other. — Mountain 

 swamps; White Mountains. — Blossoms in June.
