quite glabrous; branches ascendent, slender, few-flowered; leaves linear-lanceolate, with undulated, whitish, nearly entire margins; peduncles elongated, nearly naked; tube of calyx obconical, elongate; lobes linear-acuminate, entire, glabrous, as long as the tube; capsule elongated, pyriform, 3-celled. Habit of W. Capensis, perhaps annual. Stem 1 foot high, leafy at the base. Leaves nearly as in W. lobelioides, 6 lines long, 1 line broad, greyish green, with white edges. Flower solitary, terminal, with a small axillary alabastrum in the specimen collected by Burchell. Calyx-tube in flower about 2 lines long, the lobes 2–3 lines long, with revolute margins. Corolla unknown. Capsule 4 lines long, scarcely 1 1/2 line broad, probably 3-valved. Seems only a variety of W. cernua.
