Tihw resembles a good deal a short annual state of A. LesohenavXtiana, bnt the^ 

 capsules are subsessile, collected in small clusters, and the crown so protruded in 2 

 hemispheric bosses that the calyx-teeth are nearer the pedicel than the top. Corolla 

 funnel-shaped, purple. Seeds subglobose, pitted, and with a deep ventral pit. — ^The 

 short hair-point of the calyx-teeth and bracts is a good character.

 sessile flowers terminating simple or forked slender subterminal peduncles, 

 capsules sessile broader than long didymous crown very prominent, cells 1-6- 

 seeded. Hedyotis foetida, Dalz. ^ Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 116. H. tenella and H.
