Erect, somewliat liguescent ; stems and branches bearing a 

 thin whitish tomentum; leaves mostly rather short, \evj slender, 

 filiform, as well as the inflorescence almost glabrous ; peduncles 

 terminating branchlets, bearing few or several racemose panicu- 

 late flowers ; bracts leafiike ; pedicels mostly longer than the 

 flowers, bearing midway two linear bracteoles; lobes of the calyx 

 at first much longer than the tube, narrow-linear ; lobes of the 

 corolla all expanding into whitish upward-narrowed membranes ; 

 anthers narrow, blunt ; style beset with short spreading hairlets ; 

 stigma-cover except its base glabrous ; fruit oval-ellipsoid ; dis- 

 sepiment high ; seeds several in each cell. 



Height of plant to two feet, as far as seen ; its taste bitter. 

 Root perpendicularly descending, unbranched, scantily fibril- 

 iferous. Ramification upwards short. Longest leaves measuring 

 one and a-half inches ; length of most less than an inch ; many 

 of the leaves by abbreviation of branchlets somewhat fasciculate. 

 Tube of the corolla unilaterally protruding to a slight extent ; 

 somewhat beset witli liairlets along the sutures. Membranous 

 lobe-expansions of inconsiderable width ; stigma-cover longer 

 than broad, even at the orifice, glabrous. Ripe fruit not avail- 

 able. Seeds imbricate in two rows within each cell. 



This rich-flowering species approaches in some of its charac- 

 teristics to (}. pinifolia, in others to G. scafigera. With the 

 former it agrees much in foliage, but the calyces are much larger,
