Leaves obovate to oval, obtuse, i"-2i" long; flowers about \" long, borne on peduncles of about the same length; calyx campanulate in flower, obovoid in fruit, 4-lobed, usually split along one side; peduncles recurved in fruit; upper lip of the corolla nearly obsolete; mid- dle lobe of the lower lip longer than the lateral ones; appendages at the bases of the stamens nearly as long as the filaments; capsule obovoid-globose, i" in diameter, as long as the calyx. In tidal mud, New Jersey to Florida. This species is the type of the genus Hemianthus Nutt., which has been regarded as distinct from Micranthe- mum by other authors, a view which may be maintained. 21. LIMOSELLA L. Sp. PI. 631. 1753.
