of glands from their petioles ; the latter plant has also small 
vermilion- coloured flowers, and an entirely distinct kind 
of inflorescence.

flowering state ; the figure of Cavanilles is uncoloured, 
and was taken from a dried specimen in fruit.

scattered white! warts. Leaves elliptical, acute at each 
end, somewhat sinuated at edge, smooth above, silky be- 
neath, with gold-coloured down. Petioles half-round, with- 
out glands. Corymbs terminal and axillary, stalked, leafy, 
panicled, velvety, with a brown down ; branchlets com- 
pressed. Flowers yellow, showy. Calyx 5-parted; each 
leaflet with two glands at the bs^e. «S^amen« silky. Styk* 
3, slender, smooth.
