the flowers, the calyces, are collected into a dense head. The 
fragrance is no less remarkable than the beauty of the flowers 
and foliage. 
Descr. A shrud, of handsome growth, with obtusely tetragonous 
branches; the younger ones almost terete, herbaceous, clothed 
with spreading fuscous hairs. eaves ample, from four or five 
inches to nearly a foot in length, the smaller ones subovate, the 
larger ones obovato-oblong, acuminate, entire, but subsimuate 
and undulate at the margin, the surface reticulated and some- 
what wrinkled, the young ones subpilose, the older ones ferru- 
ginously hairy on the nerves, especially beneath : petioles short, 
clothed with ferrugmous or brown hairs. Peduacle terminal, 
hairy, like the young branches, short, bearing in our specimen 
two small /eaves, and a dense head of numerous flowers: the 
great length and spread of the corollas giving the appearance of 
an umbel, or almost of a panicle, if the calyces be not inspected. 
Calyx large, lax, deeply cut ito five nearly equal, erecto-patent, 
reticulated, membranaceous segments, hairy, especially at the 
margin. Corollas five inches long! cream-white, glanduloso- 
pubescent: the ¢wbe very slender, geniculated below the limb 
(where the stamens are inserted) and then broader: /imé of five 
spreading, obovate, nearly equal segments. Stamens and style 
very much exserted, the former curved upwards.
