Annua. Caulis basi simplex superne corymbose ramosus, ad 3 dem. longus, pilis 
crispulis puberulus, tenuis. Folia linearia, obtusa, mucronata, vel oblonge spathu- 
lata leviter puberula, basin versus longe attenuata **/, *"/, **/, mm. erecta. Racemi 
supraaxillares, longe pedunculati, longi, laxiflori, ad 8-10 cm. longi, persistentes 
rachi recta vel arcuata. Bracteæ minutissimæ, in anthesi pedicellum vix æquantes, 
ciliatæ, 0,5 mm. Ig. Flores breviter pedicellati, pedicello abstracto ad 4-5 
mm. longi. Sepala exteriora elliptica, mucronata nervis 3 simplicibus notata, supe- 
rius late ellipticum, concavum, margine ciliata. Alæ oblique ellipticæ, apiculatæ 
duplo longiores quam latæ, glabræ haud ciliatæ, nervis 3 ramosis anastomosantibus 
corollam paulo superantes, virides. Crista ex appendiculo uno tubuloso apice tantum 
multifido formata vel diminuta. Petala superiora late triangularia corollam subæ- 
quantia. Capsula valde inæquilateralis, ovata, emarginata, glabrescens. Semina pyri-
