site, sessile, broad-lanceolar, smooth, a little waved, from three 
to six inches long. Stipules within the leaves. Corymbs 
terminal, compound, or decompound, dense, often bemi- — 
spheric ; divisions or sul@divisions hy threes, Flowers every 
numerous, inodorous, white, with a straight, rather longer 
and more slender tube than in Jxora coccinea; divisions the 
border reflexed, obovate. -

where it is called Ta-mou-tang.
