The ftalk is five or fix inches long, branched, 

 weak and trailing, and together with the leaves 

 covered with hoary hairs. The leaves when 

 view'd with a microfcope, appear to be finely 

 perforated. The flowers grow in a thin panicle 

 at the top of the llaiks, upon fmooth branched 

 peduncles. The calyces arc fmooth, and their 

 fegments edged with very fmall glandules. The 

 Iradea are oval, acute, oppofite, and edg'd with 

 the like glandules. The petals are of a pale 

 yellow, and feldom expand, but are commonly 

 twilled together in adireflion, from left to right, 

 or with the fun's diurnal motion.
