Frutex. Folia evoluta, alterna, alterum rudimentum minutum 
reductum, in ramis leviter fractiflexis, griseis, superne tantum

res plerumque triflorae, interdum 1-florae, floribus minutissimis 
mihi adhuc visis, pedunculi brevissimi, pedicelli 2 ad 3 mm longi, 
ipsi et calyces sordide villosi, bracteae subnullae, ut videtur mox 
deciduae, mihi non visae. Calyx brevi-campanulatus, lobi semi- 
longi, lineares, totus 3.5 mm longus. Corolla subduplo longior,

Although my diagnosis is far from being a satisfactory one, I believe 
this species is one easily recognizable by its extreme unattractiveness, and 
Its very small flowers. The species of the parviflora affinity are beautiful 
and large-flowered in comparison to the species above described.
