STAUROGYNE RIVULARIS sp. nov. 
Herba erecta, plus minusve ramosa, usque ad 20 cm alta, 
partibus junioribus inflorescentiisque glanduloso-pubescentibus ; 
foliis breviter petiolatis, basi angustatis, anguste oblongo-obovatis 
vel oblanceolatis, 2 ad 6 cm longis, integris vel obscure undulato- 
crenatis: floribus brevissime pedicellatis ; corolla 7 ad 9 mm 
longa ; capsula oblonga, 5 mm longa. 
An erect herb, apparently from a perennial root, usually 
branched from the base, 10 to 30 cm high, the stems terete, 
slender, brownish-purple. Younger parts and inflorescence 
glandular-pubescent. Leaves narrowly oblong-obovate to oblan- 
ceolate, 2 to 6 cm long, 5 to 15 mm wide, base narrowed to the 
short petiole, apex acute or obtuse, entire or obscurely undulate- 
crenate, thin. Flowers solitary in the axils of the uppermost 
reduced leaves, forming a terminal, somewhat leafy, spike or 
spike-like raceme 1 to 5 cm long. Bracteoles glandular-hairy, 
green, oblanceolate, acuminate or acute, about 7 mm long, 2 
mm wide. Calyx green, about 7 mm long, glandular-hairy, the 
upper lobe lanceolate, 1.6 mm wide, the other 4 linear, about 
0.5 mm wide, free nearly to the base, subequal and a little shorter 
than the upper one. Corolla 7 to 9 mm long, tubular, sparingly 
pale-purplish or nearly white, the lower lip with distinct deep-
