ovate, peltate, minutely glanduloso-pubescent, strongly 
nerved, bullate, unequally crenato-dentate, concave and 
dark above, paler below ; corymbs subradical, pedicels 
(two to two and a half inches long) erect, very slender, 
glanduloso-hairy, opposite, decussating, rising from the axil 
of a linear bractea. Flowers deflected outwards. Calyx 
glanduloso-pubescent, five-cleft; tube fleshy, adherent, teeth 
subulate, connivent after the corolla falls. Corolla (an inch 
and a quarter long) tubular, curved ; limb, of five subequal, 
rounded, short segments, of which the two upper are rather 
the smallest, and least deeply divided. Stamens four, per- 
fect, slightly exserted; filaments glabrous ; anthers dark, 
rounded, two-lobular, bursting along the face of the cells, 
connectivum rounded ; pollen yellow, granules minute ; 
one, sometimes two rudimental stamens on the upper side 
of the tube at its base. Disk white, projecting on the up- 
per side, emarginate. Germen half immersed in the calyx- 
tube, above conical, slightly pubescent, brown. Ovules 
numerous. Style nearly as long as the stamens, slightly 
yea colourless. Stigma bilobular, lobes short. Gra-
