Descr. Shrub erect. Specimen described two feet high, 
branched ; branches spreading, round, swollen at the joints ; 
bark pale brown, slightly warted; twigs zigzag, green, 
glandulose, pubescent ; hairs unequal, spreading, or sub- 
reflexed. Leaves petioled, spreading, sharply and un- 
equally serrated, dark green above, pale below, hairy on 
both sides, the hairs on the upper side springing from 
tubercles ; wide, those which are opposite very unequal to 
each other ; the larger (three and a half to four and a half 
inches long, one and three quarters to two and a half inches 
broad) ovate, acuminate, very unequal at the base, rib 
slightly excentric, veins oblique with small transverse reti- 
culations, vezns prominent on the lower surface; the smaller 
leaves similar in structure and on the surface, but many 
times smaller, transversely subrotundo-kidney-shaped ; pet?- 
oles short, stout, compressed dorsally, covered with pubes- 
cence similar to that on the twigs, which they encircle at 
their origin. Inflorescence tufted, axillary, bracteated : 
bracts lanceolate, serrated, erect. Calyx 5-partite, seg- 
ments resembling the bracts, and like them covered with 
harsh pubescence. Corolla (nearly two inches long, an 
inch and a quarter across when expanded) funnel-shaped; 
finely glanduloso-pubescent on the outside, wrinkled but 
glabrous within, and on the lower side in the throat having 
two rows of short, ragged tubercles ; tube curved, subcy- 
lindrical and colourless in its lower, dilated and lilac in its 
upper part, ventricose below, somewhat flattened above; 
limb five-lobed, the lobes emarginate, spreading, the lowest 
the longest. Stamens didynamous, included, laid along the 
lower side of the corolla. Style laid between the two rows 
of tubercles on the corolla, rather longer than the stamens, 
bifid, one of the segments very short. Graham.
