downy above. Leaves scattered, shortly petiolate, lanceo- 
late, wrinkled with the reticulated veins, strongly serrated, 
downy, canescently-woolly beneath. Flowers axillary, 
glomerated, small. Calyx bell-shaped, monophyllous, five- 
toothed, hoary with down. Corolla of five spathulate, 
ciliated petals, a little longer than the calyx, combined by 
their claws. Filaments united into a cylindrical, downy 
tube and confluent at the base with the claws of the petals. 
Anthers about ten, apparently one-celled, pale yellow. 
Germen ovate, green, attenuated into a rather thick, white 
style, equal in length with the stamens. Stigma pro- 
truded, bipartite.
