Stem about two feet high, simple, four angled, scabrous, hairy and with 
the calyx viscid. Leaves acutely and irregularly serrate, sometimes 
slightly lobed, the interior obtuse, the upper ones acute, rugose, the veins 
pellucid. Bracteas subulate, shorter than the calyx. Calyx tubular, 
teeth unequal. Corolla twice as long as the calyx, pale purple, hairy 
within, the border 4 cleft, somewhat two lipped, the upper segment short, 
wide and emarginate, the three lower oval. Filaments very short. An- 
thers almost sessile in the tube of the corolla. Style very short, with a 
lateral tooth, beneath the capitate stigma. Capsule ? very hard, almost a 
?iut, oblong, 4 celled, pot opening. Can this be called a naked seed with 
four cells ? 
This plant has entirely the appearance of a Verbena; by its corolla 
and seed it differs from that genus. I have little doubt from its fruit that 
it is the plant Walter intended by the Phryma Caroliniensis. 
Grows in dry soils, common.
