A small plant very much branched, 'with short, ovate nar- 
row-based leaves, and axillary, sessile purple flowers. Along 
the margins of dirty ditches in sandy soil, Jersey. Plentiful 
in such places, on or near the Woodbury road, about a mile or 
two from Camden. I have never found it on the west side of 
the Delaware ^ AnnuaK August*
