present has constantly ternate, nearly sessile, more cordate 
leaves, shorter peduncles, larger flowers, differently-shaped 
calycine segments, and the whole plant is clothed with 
copious soft hairs. 
Descr. Stem three feet high, simple, rounded, veiny, 
hairy. Leaves three in a whorl, three to four inches long, 
almost entirely sessile, from a somewhat cordate base, ob- 
long, rather acute, bluntly serrated at the margin, on both 
sides copiously clothed with soft pubescence, especially 
beneath, where the colour is paler, and the nerves more 
prominent. The leaves gradually become smaller upwards, 
and pass into bracteas beneath the flowers. These latter 
form several leafless whorls, of about three in a whorl, with 
lanceolate bracteas at the base. Peduncles two inches long, 
hairy. Calyx very hairy, cut into five deep, lanceolate, 
acuminate, appressed segments. Corolla hairy, as long as 
the peduncles, tubular, dull pale reddish-yellow, with a 
darker edge to the limb, of which the upper lip is a little 
longer than the lower; lobes all rounded. Hypogynous 
glands five, two of which stand close together. Style and 
Stamens included.
