Annual, slender, io-30cm. high, mostly simple, but sometimes 

 branching even below the middle, the branches usually being so 

 short as to give a virgate appearance to the stem, which is glabrate 

 below and rough above, at least on the angles. Leaves linear, 

 with stiff, short, white hairs on the margins. Inflorescence race- 

 mosely arranged on the stem and branches, with the short-pedicelled 

 flowers opposite (one of them often only rudimentary) in the leaf 

 axils. Calyx teeth triangular-lanceolate, 1-3 — 1-4 as long as the 

 tube. Buds cream-colored. Corolla about 1.5 cm. long, rose- 

 purple, short-pubescent without. Capsule obconical, about 7mm.
