DIAYNAMIA ANGIOSFERMIA. 
Anthers very villous. The 2 shorter filaments only hairy at the base. 
Style as long as the stamens. Stigma compressed. 
This species resembles the G. Purpurea in the size and form of its 
leaves, but differs by its smoothness, and very widely in its corolla and pe- 
duncle. 
The plants I have examined, appear also to differ in many respects from 
the G. Tenuifolia of Nuttall, perhaps many species remain yet to be distin- 
guished. 
Grows in dry sandy soils, about 2 miles from Beaufort on the Battery 
road, to me very rare. 
Flowers August— October. 
8. Linifolia. Nuttall. 
G. caule tereti, vir- 
gato ; foliis linearibus, 
acutis, laevibus, ap- 
pressis ; calyce trun- 
eato, denticuiato ; co- 
rolla majuscula, extus 
pubescente, intus vil- 
iosa; pedunculis folio 
paulo brevioribus. 
Stem terete, vir- 
gate ; leaves linear, 
acute, smooth, ap- 
pressed ; calyx trun- 
cate, denticulate ; co- 
rolla large, pubescent 
without, villous with- 
in ; peduncles a little 
shorter than thq 
leaves. 
Nuttall 2. p. 4 7* 
Anon. Erect? Walt. p. 170. 
Hoot perennial, creeping, Nutt. Stein 2 — 3 feet high, virgate, with 
slender, erect, twiggy branches. Leaves as in the two preceding species ve- 
ry narrow, linear lanceolate, in general closely appressed to the stem. Pe- 
duncles , during the expansion of the flower, shorter than the leaves, before 
the capsules ripen as long or longer. Calyx very minutely 5-toothed. 
Corolla large, purple. Stamens about half as long as the corolla. Style 
as long as the stamens. Stigma acute* 
This species is very remarkable by its erect virgate branches, Its leaves 
m general are not shorter than the peduncles, yet if it it is not the G* 
Erecta of Walter that species remains to be detected. 
Grows in and around pine barren ponds. 
Flowers August — September.
