Root perennial. Stem erect or procumbent, scarcely a foot high, and 
.with the whole plant sprinkled with soft hair. Leaves crowded near the 
summit of the stem, leaflets much dilated in the middle, abruptly acumi- 
nated, a little scabrous, common petiole 3 — 4 inches long. Flowers in a 
terminal panicle 1 — 2 feet long, partial peduncle 2—4 lines long. Calyx 
4-toothed, nearly equal m length. Corolla pale violet, nearly white. Pe- 
tals equal in length. Lomenium 3 — 4 jointed. Joints rounded. 
The stamens in this and the preceding t ^ci£s--ar.e nearly , monadel- 
phous. This species is generally considered as the H. Glutinosumof Dr. 
Muhlenberg and Willdenow, if, however, Willdenow is correct, in descri- 
bing the panicle as arising from the base of the stem, which he has twice 
mentioned, the two species must be distinct. In a specimen of the IJ. 
Glutinosum, which was sent me by Dr. Muhlenberg, the leaves and pani- 
cle are unfortunately detached from the stem, as far, however, as they can 
be compared to this species, the resemblance is minutely exact. 
Grows in rich shaded soils. 
Flowers June — August.

Ste?n erect, 3 — 4 feet high, covered, as is common in this genus, with 
an adhesive pubescence, branching towards the summit. Leaflets long, 
exactly linear, but elliptic at their terminations, bearing a few hairs sprink- 
led along the margin, common petiole 4 — 5 lines long, pubescent. 
Fl wers in long, axillary and terminal panicles, pubescent. Calyx 4-cleft, 
segments a little unequal. Corolla small, purple, greenish at base. Lo - 
mention generally 2-jointed. Joints nearly oval, hispid. 
Grows in dry pine barrens. 
Flowers August— September.
