Stem annual, erect, 2 — 3 feet high, branches opposite, divaricate. Leaves 
opposite, sessile, oval, acutely serrate, unequal at base, glabrous, 3-nerved, 
nearly an inch long. Flowers small, solitary I suspect at each joint, but 
from the shortness of the upper joints they are crowded and appear fascicu- 
late. 
Grows in' the upper districts of Carolina and Georgia* Milledgeville, Dr
