Annual. Stems few, the barren ones very short and decumbent, 
the flowering ones erect. Leaves of the barren shoots opposite 
or in whorls of three, oval or elliptical, attenuated into indistinct 
petioles ; those on the flowering-stem scattered, or sometimes the 
lower in whorls of three, sessile, strapshaped, entire. Flowers 
few, in a rather dense raceme, which lengthens after flowering. 
Pedicels about as long as the calyx. Calyx-segments linear- 
subulate, glabrous. Corolla scarcely three times as long as the 
calyx ; spur nearly as long as the corolla, acute, straight, in a line 
with the under side of the corolla. Capsule sub-globular, rather 
shorter than the calyx, each of the 2 valves splitting into 3 seg- 
ments. Seeds shining, sub-orbicular, surrounded by a broad plano- 
convex fimbriated wing. Plant slightly glaucous, wholly glabrous.
