reticulations very numerous and bold from both surfaces; petiole 
very short or 3 mm. long, thick, glabrous, blaek, flattened and 
grooved on the upper side. Inflorescence terminal, ascending, 
usually of few spikes arising from near the base; spikes slender, 
4 to 7 em. long, soft yellowish gray pubescent, flower bearing from 
near the base; flowers odorless, soft, yellowish brown, scattered 
in small alternating groups; pedicels 2 to 3 mm. long, pubescent, 
usually subtended by bracts; calyx turbinate, 8 mm. long, the 
basal one third tubular and similarly covered with grayish white 
hairs, rather thick and rigid, also hairy on the inside; perianth of 
10 segments, outwardly recurved, linear, cinereous pubescent, the 
longer series of 5 less than 1 mm. wide and 4 mm. long, the alter- 
nate series only one half as wide and a trifle shorter, apex rather 
blunt, at the basal inner side provided with glabrous glands; 
stamens 5, inserted upon the throat and between the gland of 
the larger segments; filaments 4 mm. long, expanded toward the 
base and hairy up to the middle, filiform and glabrous toward 
the apex; anther subglobose or truncately ellipsoid, less than 0.5 
mm. across; style 3, somewhat shorter than the filaments and 
more rigid, outwardly curved, gradually tapering from the rather 
thick base to the sharp stigmatic portion, cinereous; ovary mostly 
imbedded or enclosed by the calyx tube, the upper portion hairy.

horizontal, subchartaceous, folded upon the upper lucid green 
surface, their acute tips recurved, the subcuneate base slightly 
inequilateral, entire, glabrous, of a dull lead color on both sides
