A tall shrub, white-hairy in all parts; the hairs of the tomentum very short, 
but densely faciculato-stellate, the tufts looking under a pocket lens like microscopic 
dgehogs. Leaves in our specimens seldom more than an inch long, } inch broad, 
thic <in substance. Flowers yellow, in a loose raceme. Anthers acute, but not acu- 
minate. I follow E. Meyer in referring this plant to Jacquin’s. 
12. H. disticha (Schr. & Wendl. ! Sert. Han. t. to.); shrubby, 
much branched ; young branches setose, older scabrous ; leaves on short 
petioles, sub-rotwnd or obovate, broadly cuneate at base, very obtuse, 
eroso-dentate, rugose, thinly hispid on the upper, densely stellato- 
hispid on the under side ; stipules ovate-acwminate ; peduncles race- 
mose-paniculate, 1~2-flowered, the bracts ovate, cuspidate ; calyx cam- 
panulate, with piliferous glands on the ribs and margin, otherwise gla-

_ A stout shrub, 3 feet high, diffusely branched, hispid in most parts with scattered

flowered panicles. Not found by E. & Z., or Drege. We describe from an old, 
garden specimen ; compared with Wendl. and Jacq.’s originals.
