16. KALMIELLA Small, Fl. SE. U.S. 886. 1903. 
Shrubs with erect or spreading irregular branches and rather coarsely pubescent foliage. 
Leaves alternate, often numerous, persistent; blades relatively small, thick, or leathery, entire 
or obscurely toothed, more or less revolute. Flowers solitary in the axils of the leaves, scattered 
or approximate and forming a terminal raceme. Calyx deciduous; sepals distinct or nearly so, 
narrow, somewhat foliaceous. Corolla resembling that of Kalmia. Stamens 10, about as 
long as the corolla or slightly shorter; filaments linear-filiform or subulate, glabrous; anthers 
oval or ovoid, opening by long pores, or ultimately lengthwise, discharging their pollen when 
drawn from the corolla-sacs by the elastically straightening filaments. Ovary 5-celled, 
depressed; style clavate or nearly filiform, nearly straight; stigma depressed. Capsule of an 
ovoid type, exceeded by the calyx before it falls away. 
Type species, Kalmia hirsuta Walt. 
Flowers scattered along the branches; leaf-blades broad, slightly revolute. 1. K. hirsuta. 
Flowers aggregated at the ends of the branches; leaf-blades narrow, strongly revo- 
lute. 
Filaments pubescent; leaf-blades glabrous above; inflorescence lax. 2. K. ericoides. 
Filaments glabrous; leaf-blades glandular-pubescent above: inflorescence com- 
pact. 3. K. aggregate.

sessile; pedicels ultimately mostly longer than the leaves, glandular-pilose; sepals lanceolate 
to ovate-lanceolate, 4-5 mm. long, somewhat acuminate or acute, long-ciliate; corolla deep-
