In Carolina. Walter, -f. I observed in the vicinity 
of the Dismal-swamp in North Carolina, a species 
belonging to this genus, of which I have no specimen 
in my Herbarium, and which probably may be the 
species alluded to by Walter. The leaves are elliptic 
and acute ; the flowers nearly sessile in the axils of the 
leaves, solitary or by two or three j the petals are long 
and acute, pale red 5 capsules long, prismatic. 
3. E. foliis petioiatis oblongo-ovalibus rotundato-obtusis, peiiolata.
