inflorescences arising from the axils of the leaves, the flowers being large 
and conspicuous, white, very hairy, and more or less funnel-shaped. The 
specific name is taken from the slight resemblance of the species to a 
dwarfed tree.

Robinson, "very common in this locality but only this one plant in flower." 
Robinson states that the leaves are crowded on the upper one-half of 
the plant, and for this reason it looks like some species of Elatostema, the 
serrate-leaves also resembling those of species of this genus. The only 
flower available was perfectly dried, but was gummed to the paper. For- 
tunately the corolla is so transparent that the stamens and style could be 
seen very well, but no attempt was made to examine the disk and ovary.
