  — 
  Hab. 
  On 
  the 
  prairies 
  of 
  Red 
  

   river, 
  in 
  arid 
  situations. 
  — 
  Obs. 
  Perennial. 
  Stem 
  five 
  or 
  six 
  inches 
  

   high, 
  somewhat 
  branched, 
  and, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  other 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  plant, 
  

   slightly 
  hirsute 
  and 
  stinging 
  ; 
  stipules 
  subulate 
  and 
  minute 
  ; 
  flowers 
  

   often 
  tetrandrous, 
  with 
  a 
  4-cleft 
  calix 
  ; 
  capsule 
  hispid. 
  Nearly 
  allied 
  to 
  

   T. 
  urens, 
  but 
  the 
  leaves 
  are 
  every 
  where 
  equally 
  toothed, 
  and 
  the 
  plant 
  

   perennial.

  Hirsuta, 
  caule 
  erecto 
  subsimplici 
  ; 
  foliis 
  cor- 
  

   dato-ovatis 
  petiolatis,

  ; 
  pedicellis 
  bracteis 
  brevioribus. 
  — 
  

   Hab. 
  With 
  the 
  preceding, 
  to 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  nearly 
  related, 
  and 
  also 
  to 
  T. 
  

   urticaefolia. 
  This 
  species 
  I 
  have 
  also 
  collected 
  in 
  East 
  Tennessee, 
  and 
  

   like 
  the 
  former 
  it 
  is 
  perennial. 
  From 
  the 
  figure 
  of 
  T. 
  nepetaefolia, 
  

   given 
  by 
  Cavanilles, 
  I 
  should 
  have 
  concluded 
  it 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  same 
  plant, 
  

   only 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  described 
  as 
  an 
  annual, 
  much 
  branched, 
  and 
  with 
  the 
  

   leaves 
  glaucous 
  beneath, 
  in 
  all 
  which 
  particulars 
  it 
  differs 
  from 
  our 
  

   plant.

  The 
  whole 
  plant 
  covered 
  with 
  a 
  whitish 
  

   stellate 
  pubescence. 
  Stem 
  much 
  branched, 
  about 
  two 
  feet 
  high

  leaves 
  

   alternate 
  and 
  opposite, 
  petiolate, 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  female 
  plant 
  narrower 
  

   and 
  green 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  surface 
  ; 
  branches 
  of 
  the 
  staminiferous 
  plant 
  

   terminating 
  in 
  naked 
  paniculated 
  clusters 
  of 
  flowers, 
  consisting 
  merely 
  

   of 
  a 
  roundish 
  calix, 
  each 
  containing 
  about 
  ten 
  or 
  twelve 
  uncombined 
  

   stamens. 
  Female, 
  mostly 
  solitary, 
  dichotomal 
  and 
  terminal 
  ; 
  the 
  calix 
  

   5-cleft, 
  and 
  divided 
  nearly 
  to 
  its 
  base, 
  with 
  the 
  segments 
  acute 
  ; 
  corolla 
  

   none 
  ;

  of 
  the 
  genus,
