often 15 ft. long, ending in a dense hairy spike, usually simple, though sometimes 

 divided. The leave.s are thicker, more villous than those of L. niootiantsfolia, the 

 corolla often very hairy without. The milk of both species is intensely acrid.

Small, erect, branched herbs, sparsely patently, hairy. Leaves alternate, 

 siibsessile, margin thickened entire waved or crisped. Flmoers small, racemed 

 or panicled ; upper bracts often very small and pedicels filiform. Calyx 

 superior ; limb 5-partite. Corolla deeply 6-fid ; segments linear-lanceolate, 

 spreading stellately, blue or whitish. Ovary subglobose, 2-3-ceUed. Style 

 cylindric; stigma shortly obtusely 3-lobed. Capsule loculicidally 2-3-valved

Very closely allied to C. Schimperi, but instead of the rigid crisped habit, it is 

 flexuose with thin leaves and much longer capillary pedicels, as though it were C.
