at base, rather unequal in size, curing gray beneath and brown 
above, the larger blades 1 dm. long and one half as wide; mid- 
vein puberulent beneath, pulverulent above but soon becoming 
glabrate; lateral nerves 7 to 9 pairs, ascending and slightly cur- 
ved, faint, cross bars and reticulations very obscure; petiole 
varying from 1 to 5 em. long, slender, dull yellowish pulverulent. 
j Inflorescence ascendingly curved, its few slender branches 
widely spreading, usually slenderly spicate and gracefully recur- 
ved in age; rachis greenish brown, puberulent or pulverulent, 
5 to 10 em. long, mainly solitary from the leaf axils and sub- 
tended by foliaceous bracts; flowers alternatingly scattered all 
along; pedicel 3.5 mm. long, faintly pubescent, subtended by a 
green linear subglabrous bract a trifle longer; calyx subtended 
by a pair of setaceous bracts about as long and faintly ciliate; 
the basal 1.5 mm. of the calyx united, otherwise dissected 
into 5 laciniate lobes, ciliate pubescent, gradually tapering 
to the sharp point, about 1 cm. long, green, bluntly round- 
ed at the base; corolla 1.25 em. long, tubular and grad- 
ually widened from base to apex, white with purplish 
. a brown streaks, usually somewhat curved, subglabrous on 
1 the outside, glabrous on the inside except the few hairs 
at the attachment of the stamens, veined; lobes 5, short 
and broadly rounded, about 2 mm. across; stamens inserted 
upon the corolla tube 2.5 mm. from the base, of 2 unequal pairs; 
filaments finely strigose, filiform or obscurely flattened, 4 mm. 
long for the shorter and 2 mm. longer for the 2 longer filaments; 
anthers apparently parted from the apex clear to the base, trun- 
cately oblong, usually eurved, at least 1 mm. long; ovary glabrous, 
conieally elongated, 2 mm. long, only one half as thick; style 
glabrous, 7.5 mm. long; stigma enlarged, pointed, 0.75 mm. long; 
capsule 5 mm. long, 1.5 mm. thick, elongated, obscurely com- 
pressed on the finely grooved sides, bluntly pointed at both ends,
