obscurely pilose. Leaves opposite, elliptical, obtuse, on short 
petioles, glossy, entire or very obscurely serrated, to the eye 
appearing glabrous, whence the specific name, but under a lens 
showing very minute hairs on the surface and margin. Peduncles 
one to three in the axils of the leaf, longer than the petioles, 
with a pair of linear dracts at the base. Calyx with the seg- 
ments serrated. Corolla with a very short constriction at the 
base of the tube, the colour a rich scarlet, except the small 
Limb, which is orange-yellow. Stamens and pistil as in #7. stri- 
gillosa.
