midrib, nerves and reticulations and with numerous, minute, 
shining, yellow glands; lateral nerves about 8 on each side of 
of the midrib, prominent, the reticulations distinct; petioles 2 
to 6 cm long, densely hirsute. Panicles terminal, few-flowered, 
10 cm long or less, peduncled, all parts rather densely covered 
with dark-purple, crisped, spreading hairs, the bracts linear, 1
