Intro: Erect to ascending perennial of wet pine savannas, marshes, pond margins and ditches.

Stems: Stems somewhat succulent, usually simple but occasionally branched, smooth to slightly hairy above.

Leaves: Leaves opposite, sessile-clasping, narrowly lance-shaped, 1/4-3/4 in. long, entire or with a few teeth toward the tip, smooth.

Inforescence:

Flowers: Flowers solitary on stalks from leaf axils; white but yellow at the base (inside and out), where also marked with brownish-purple veins; ⅓-½ in. long; bilaterally symmetric; with the tubular corolla opening to 4 unequal, spreading lobes (bottom one largest). A much shorter calyx tube has 5 linear-lance-shaped lobes, is finely hairy and usually lacks the bractlets seen in G. neglecta.
