Pursh. 2. p. 364. 
Stem erect, 12-18 inches high, apparently more frutescent than in any 
other of our species, branches simple and slender. Leaves and the 
whole plant, covered with a hoary down. Racemes about half as long as 
the leaves, many flowered. Calyx very small, the two exterior leaves 
linear. Corolla twice or three times as large as the calyx, bright yellow. 
This plant differs so much in habit and appearance from the other species 
of this genus, as to excite some suspicion of its real connection with them. 
I collected it whilst travelling hastily in the upper country without leisure 
to examine it. Specimens which I sent to Dr. Muhlenberg, were 
marked by him as a variety of the H. Canadense. Under this impression 
it remained in my Herbarium until lately, when having received specimens 
of the H. Canadense from New- York, from my friend Mr. Raffinesque, and 
perceiving their entire resemblance to one of our own common species, I was 
led again to examine this plant. My specimens appear to agree exactly 
with the H. Rosmarinifolium of Pursh, described from specimens collected 
by Mr. Enslen in the middle districts of Georgia. I have therefore des- 
cribed them under this name. 
Grows at Rocky mount on the Catawba River. 
Flowers June, July. 
Erect, branching 
tomentose ; leaves li- 
near, with the margins 
revolute ; racemes 
small, axillary; flow- 
ers crowded.
