mto an indistuictpetiole, the upper ones sessile and slightly decurrent; all somewhattranslucent. Racemes generally in pairs, often with a leaf at the baseof each, at length 3 to 6 inches long; fruit pedicels ^ to ^ inch long,the lower ones exceeding the upper; all, except sometimes the lowest,without bracts at the base, at first ascending, afterwards all turnedhorizontally in one direction. Calyx with strigose hairs which are nothooked at the tip. Corolla about ^ inch across, sky-blue, with a yelloweye, with 5 blunt, obtuse, hump-Hive scales in the throat. Style short;stigma ca^jitate, concave. Nucules sliming, fuscous, roundish-ovoid,laterally compressed, and somewhat bordered towards the apex. I have retained Schultzs name of casspitosa, as there seems to besome doubt respecting the plant intended by Lehmann by his M. lin-gulata. Mr. Bentham joms M. casspitosa to M. palustris.
