This species is placed here because of its large unequal sepals and other conformable 
characters. It has pubescent branches with remote stipular axils ; narrow oblong leaves 
shortly acuminate, subcordate at the base, pubescent, 2-2} in. long, 10-15 lines broad, 
the petioles being 2 lines long ; several flowers aggregated upon a peduncle 13 in. long; 
pedicels ebracteolate, 3-4 lines long; sepals oblong, truncate, membranaceous, 
pubescent, ciliate, 4-6 lines long, 3-4 lines broad, with as many internal, broad, denti- 
culate scales; cylindrical tube of corolla 8-10 lines long; segments dolabriform, roundish; 
stamens inserted in the middle of the tube; anthers rigid, acute, shortly bilobed at the 
base; disk urceolate, 5-grooved, as long as the ovaries.

A shrub with obtusely 4-angled verruculose branches, having short, ovate, deciduous 
stipules at the nodes; leaves ovate or elliptic-ovate, with a short, broad, emarginate 
acumen, coriaceous, with about 5 pairs of nerves, reticulate, petiolate ; panicle terminal, 
shortly puberulous, on a peduncle bearing several approximate flowers; sepals broadly 
ovate, obtuse, outer ones puberulent, inner ones somewhat longer, more scarious, and 
subglabrous ; disk urceolate, contracted at the obsoletely repand-denticulate margin.

A shrub, with subcylindrical branches, roughly verruculose, with deciduous stipules; 
leaves elliptic, subobtuse at both ends, coriaceous, with nerves and reticulate veins, 
petiolate; panicle axillary or terminal, shorter than the leaves, puberulous, on a short 
peduncle; sepals ovate, obtuse, puberulous, outer ones somewhat shorter, inner ones 
more glabrous, each with an inner bifid scale; corolla 22 in. long, its tube slender,

acuminate, the larger ones subinequilateral, subcoriaceous, obliquely nerved and reticu- 
late, petiolate ; panicles axillary, mostly opposite, the lower ones with a long, the upper
