Root annual ? Stem 3 — 4 feet high, with numerous brachiate branch- 
es, terete, rough. Leaves opposite, sessile, about an inch long, compound- 
ly pinnatifid. Flowers near the summit of the branches axillary, oppo- 
site, on peduncles about an inch long. Calyx somewhat campanulate, 
the segments subulate, about twice as long as the tube. Corolla about 
half an inch long, of an obscure yellow, sprinkled -in the throat with 
purple, pubescent, the border 5-cleft. Filaments villous at base, rather 
shorter than the corolla. Anthers incumbent, yellow, opening at the sum- 
mit, the cells separate, and mucronate at base. Style declining, longer 
than the stamens. Stigma obtuse. Capsule compressed at the summit. 
Seeds numerous, very small. 
The Anthers in this species, of which alone I can speak with certainty, 
bear a striking affinity to those of the Cassia. Hence and not from the co* 
folia the specific name of Walter. 
Grows very common in the low country in wet pine barrens.. 
Flowers August — September.
