obtusa, obtuse dentata, dense tomentosa. Flores axillares, solitarii. ` Pedicelli 
4—10 lin. longi, supra medium articulati. Petala purpurea ?, glabra. Fructus

A perennial herb growing to about 1 ft. high. Stems several from the same root- 
stock, rather slender, usually simple, tomentose with a short down of stellate hairs 
intermingled with longer spreading hairs. Leaves petiolate; petiole 1-2 lin. long, blade 
3-1 in. long, 15-4 lin. broad, narrowly oblong or oblong-lanceolate, obtuse, obtusely 
3-6-toothed on each side, densely stellate tomentose on both sides. Flowers axillary, 
solitary. Pedicels 4-10 iin. long, jointed above the middle, stellate-tomentose. Calyx 
3-43 lin. long, stellate-tomentose outside; tube about 1 lin. long, shortly obconical, 
lobes 2-33 lin. long, 1-14 lin. broad, ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate, acute. Petals much 
longer than the calyx, ohovate, giabrous, with a fringed scale at their base, apparently 
purple. Stamens about 2% lin. long, with glabrous filaments. Ovary ovoid, densely 
adpressed-pubescent, not tubercled; styles 2 lin. long, with a few scattered hairs or 
almost glabrous; stigmas dilated. Capsule globose, about 2 lin. diam., 3-valved, densely
