 ennial; similar to the preceding but branches less spreading; stem 3-6 dm. high,

 retrorsely hispidulous on the margins and midribs, acute, minutely denticulate with 

 callous teeth or entire; corolla blue with darker veins, cleft to below the middle 

 into lanceolate lobes; capsule subglobose, about 5 mm. long and nearly as broad, 

 opening near the base. In wet meadows, Me. and northern N. Y. to Minn, and
