Stem generally e- 
rect, sparingly branch- 
ed, pubescent; leaves 
linear, pubescent; 
spikes long. 
Stem twelve to eighteen inches high, pubescent, almost tomentose. 
Leaves alternate, sessile, one to two inches long, linear, pubescent, in my 
specimens entire. Spikes axillary, numerous near the summit of the stem, 
longer generally than in our other species of Tragia. Sterile florets very 
small. Capsules hirsute. 
I am not certain whether this plant is the T. Urens var. Linearis of Miclu 
it appears to me, however, to be very distinct from that species. 
Grows in the southern districts of Georgia.
