glandular-hairy: leaves very thin but large, elliptic to oblong- 
lanceolate, 14 to 3 inches long, acute, sparsely muriculate-punc- 
tate above, the points apt to develop short hairs, beneath

shorter than their subtending leaves, though more than an inch 
long: calyx thin, obovoid, deeply cleft, the teeth triangular, 
acute or acuminate: lobes of the petals oblong: seeds short-ren- 
iform, delicately reticulate, the meshes forming an ill defined 
transverse lineolation.
