tary or 2 together, nodding; peduncles slender, pubescent and glandular, 1.5-2 cm. long; 
pedicels only about 3 mm. long, about as long as the orbicular-erose or entire glandular 
bracts; hypanthium greenish-white, densely glandular, about 3 mm. long and nearly as 
thick as long; sepals white, linear-oblong, 6-11 mm. long, recurved; petals acutish and
