 iin. Cyme (of male plant) much branched, peduncles 6-8 in., pedicels spreadir 

 Plower-hnds subglobose, densely rnfous-villous. Calyx ciliate. Corolla much exceed 

 ing the calyx ; lobes lanceolate, inflexed at the points, ciliate, connate at the base. 

 Stamens shorter than the lobes of the corolla, filaments short erect; anthers oolong- 

 obovftte, dehiscing longitudinally. Budiment of pistil erect, cylindrical, or subclavate, 

 Linpid. Female fl. : Calyx tubular, limb as in the male fl. Corolla 4-5'partel, suo-
