longer, the lower branches arising from the uppermost leaf axils, 
numerously rebranched from the middle or above it, all the stalks 
rigid, slightly compressed and cinereous or densely brownish

-puberulent on the outside otherwise; segments 5, glabrate on the 
inner side, pulverulent on the outer, obovately oblong, oc- 
casionally only slightly inequilateral, at least 1 em. long, rotately 
spreading, rather thick, at the throat subtended by fascicles of 
appendages; stamens inserted 5 mm. from the base of the corolla
