Sandy Praries margin of woods near the Brazos. June. — An annual
with the habit of Borragineae about one foor high, much branched, branches
somewhat decumbent, bark of the stem scaling off, of the branches hispid —
pubescent; inflorescence terminal but by the development of the axillary
shoots pushed aside and becoming lateral opposed to the leaf. — Apparently
other Namas by the long tube of the corolla?? [Nama -- corolla subrotuta!)

Loose sandy soil in open pine woods near Houston; fl. March & April.
(Two years ago I have sent you 3 different species of Phacelia, 2 from Texas,
and one from Alabama, and I believe one of them must be this.)
