A fleshy perennial, glabrous in all its parts, with stout simple 
decumbent stems above a foot long. Leaves opposite, sessile,

falling before the flowers expand. Calyx iin. long, 3 in. in diam.; 
tube very short; segments orbicular, with a distinct mucro. 
Corolla 3-2 in. long, with a funnel-shaped tube 1— in. in diam. and 
4 deltoid segments. Stamens inserted above the middle of the
