An. epiplij-tical shrub ; leaves, including petiole, from 3 to 4 inches long, and about G lines broad ; 
peduncles longer than the petioles ; lobes of the calyx half as long as the corolla ; corolla about 1|^ inch 
long ; glands about 5. This species, differing from all other Colvmneas by its peculiarly-shaped corolla, the 
lo\?er hp of which is quite entire, forms a new section of the genus to which it belongs, or may be looked 
upon as the type of a new genus.
