flowers in the axils only, the petiole and peduncle wholly dis- 

 tinct : bracts of involucres very short and somewhat spreading, 

 not equalling the undivided part of the calyx, the lobes of 

 this ovate, acuminate, distinctly parallel- veined : corolla 3/4 

 inches long, cream-color, the cusps of the petals very promi- 

 nent.

 in the middle : leaves equally soft-tomentose on both faces, 

 dark above, lighter but neither whitish nor even hoary 

 beneath, blades broadly subcordate-ovate, 3 or 4 inches long 

 and quite as wide below the middle, abruptly acute, serrate- 

 dentate, on rather spreading petioles 3 or 4 inches long : 

 flowers on peduncles distinct from the petioles and 2 or 3 

 inches long ; bracts of the involucre linear-acuminate, very

 middle, the ovate acute lobes ending in a linear apiculation : 

 corolla 4 or 5 inches long, apparently cream-color.

 irresponsibly been concluded under that uncertain species, 

 about the habitat of which nothing seems to have been known.
