occasionally arising from a short tubercle; branches divar-

blending into the calyx proper, provided with woolly tawny 
colored hairs and usually without minute terminal glands, 
subtended at the base by bracts; bracts 2.5 mm long, linear, 
0.5 mm wide, gradually tapering, brown when dry, mem- 
branous, persistent, on the outer surface densely covered with 
long similarly covered soft hairs; calyx with the segments 
3.5 mm long, whitish toward the base, segmented tips 
lilacinus, subturbinate, the concrete portion with long tawny. 
hairs terminated by minute dark brown glands, at the throat 
1.5 mm thick; calyx segments 2.25 mm long, 1 mm wide 
at the base, 5, gradually tapering from the base to the 
blunt apex, the dorsal basal portion with glandularly tip- 
ped hairs, the apical portion on the same side puberulent, 
coriaceous; corolla caducous, white or nearly so, very thin 
or subhyaline, glabrous, broad, 4 mm long, the basal one 
half united, unequally lobed, the 4 or more lobes com- 
paratively broad and rounded at the apex; stamens alternating 
with the lobes and as many, inserted upon the basal por- 
tion of the corolla; filaments less than 1 mm in length, 
inwardly curved, glabrous, compressed; anthers deep yellow, 
subglobose, nearly 1 mm in diameter, basifixed, opening by 
a transverse slit across the apical portion on the inner 
side; ovary base imbedded, apical portion conical, glabrous, 
1.25 mm across; style nearly 2 mm long, strict, also glab-
