' Annual; about a foot high. ' Radical leaves spatulate; the ban-, line ones broadly linear, 1- 1J inch long; either entire or furnished on each side at the base ( sometimes only on one side) . with a spreading, narrow, acute lobe, so that the leaves appear somewhat halberd- form. Racemes short, terminating the branches, Lobes of the. calyx about three and a- half lines long. Cdrolla widely campanulate, almost rotate, about five lines long; the lobes ' short and rounded. Appendages ten, narrow, connfvant in pairs between the bases of the filaments- Staines nearly equal, a little shorter than the corolla. Style somewhat' exacted; 2- lobed at the summit. Ovary with 15- 20 ovules' attached to each placenta^ This species resembles JS. pJiacelioides, Benth., but differs in the nearly sessile narrower leaves, the larger and broadly campanulate corolla, many- ovuled placenta, & c.
