his work, I have consequently no opportunity of examining 
more accurately. The plant described by Mr. Nuttall as gra- 
cilis, is the one so common in Jersey, and is the same intend- 
ed by me in the present head. It appears to be Willdenow’s 
[j Kalmii, as it certainly is Muhlenberg’s. 
[L. stem erect, minutely scabrous, simple or fili- gracilis* 
formly branched ; leaves oblong-linear, mi- 
nutely denticulate, partly obtuse and remote; 
flowers slenderly racemose, distant; peduncle 
coloured, shorter than the flower, bibracteate at 
the base*; segments of the calix subulate, lon- 
ger than the capsule which is obtuse below. 
Obs. The radical leaves are spathulate and 
mostly hirsute; stem leaves remote, sessile, 
scarcely ever exceeding an inch in length. Stem 
filiform, often somewhat flexuous, but erect. 
Peduncles only 2 or 3 lines long, in the flower 
blue ; segments of the calix nearly double the 
length of the capsule. Flower blue ; palate of 
the lower lip marked with £ acute white lines, 
and greenish spots with 2 others also near the 
^ base of the tube. The root is slender but appa- 
rently perennial.— 
3. L. erect, branched, very hirsute ; leaves ovate, inflata. 
serrate ; racemes leafy, capsules inflated. —
