about one foot high; panicle short, dense-flowered, spreading, 
brown ; sepals mostly equal, lanceolate acute and mucronate, 
or inner ones slightly longer and sometimes obtusish ; stamens 
about two-thirds the length of the sepals, and anthers as long 
as filaments; ovary acuminate, terminating in a style about 
half its length; capsule longer than the sepals, acute, or even 
rostrate, at least in all the American specimens seen by me, 
and imperfectly three-celled, the placentae not meeting in the 
centre. Seeds obovate, obtuse at the upper, acute at the 
lower, end, and at both strongly apiculate ; 0.3 line or a little 
less long, and about half as much in diameter; reticulate, 
with areae finely cross-lineolate; 7 or 8 ribs visible.
