long-lanceolate, and obovate, equal, and rounded at the base, or 
unequal and subcordate ; cymes bractless, many times dichoto- 
mous ; limb of corolla 5-cleft, with plicate sinuses. h.™.S.

T. arboréscens, Link, in the leaves being shorter and broader, 
and never tomentose beneath. Spikes or branches of cyme 
elongated, pilose. Calycine segments ovate, acute. Drupes 
glabrous.
