Wales. It succeeds in the greenhouse, where it flowers 
about March and April. 
A shrub: stem upright, with divaricate branches bent 
and pendent at the upper part, as is the stem at the top; 
bark chestnut-brown with a fine whitish fur. Leaves 
loosely scattered, pointing in one direction, ovate or round- 
ovate, wavy, with a repand edge, silky and white under- 
neath, smooth and opaquely green above, finely and net- 
tedly veined, mucronate, sometimes slightly cordate or 
indented at the base, the larger ones about two inches 
long and one and a half broad: petioles short, round, 
silky: stipules 2, brown, setaceous, silky, recurved, longer 
than the petiole. Peduncles axillary, generally 3-flowered 
(the upper flower often miscarrying with us), several times 
longer than the leaf; bractes 3, small, subulate, pressed 
close to and much shorter than the calyx, the middle dif- 
ferent from the other two. Flowers pendulous, palish yel- 
low. Calyx membranous, thickly dotted with brown on a 
yellowish ground, silkily furred, more than twice as short 
as the corolla, oblately campanulate, bilabiately cloven, 
gibbous at the base at the back; upper lip notched with 
two pointed teeth, lower lip trifid with nearly equal ovately 
taper-pointed upright segments. Corolla about + of an 
inch long, oblong, with contracted alæ; vexillum oblongly 
cordate, reflex, shorter than the carina; unguis linear, 
arched, equal to the calyx; lamina orbicularly widened and 
expanded below, deeper coloured and by the bending of 
the sides narrowed and concave above, often tinged with 
red on the inside: alc linearly ligulate, converging by their 
inner edge, and overlapping the carina by their outer: 
carina three times broader than the alze, obtuse, rounded at 
the end, pointing forwards, compressedly ventricose, open 
at the upper side, of one piece at the under, eared on each 
side the base by a round depressed outwardly bent lobe. 
Filaments thickened at the base, the middle upper one 
deeply arched at the bottom part within the calyx : anthers 
small, incumbent, yellow; pollen granular, whitish. Ger- 
men ovately oblong, shaggy, several times shorter than the 
style, many-seeded, standing on a prominent glandular disk. 
Stigma an obsoletely pubescent point.
