This is a much less branched plant than G. ovata, almost gla- 

 brous, with fewer, more membranous, larger, crenate leaves, much 

 shorter flowers with larger (relatively) calyx-lobes, almost as long 

 as the corolla, and a very broad depressed capsule with short horny 

 valves. "We have not, however, seen perfectly mature fruit.
