Suffrutescent ; branches erect, aciculate-pilose throughout. 

 Leaves narrowly lanceolate, subsessile or short petioled. Inflor- 

 escence a densely flowered, rarely 2-forked spike, strongly circin- 

 ate at the apex, often twice or thrice reversed, as evidenced by the 

 2-3-curved fruiting portion. Corolla nearly as long as the calyx- 

 lobes, smooth within. Anthers sessile, distinct, acuminate, inserted 

 above the base of the corolla tube. Calyx lobes ovate-acute, unequal. 

 Stigma phalloid, 4-lobed, with a ring of teeth at the apex and a sec- 

 ondary one of scale-like, thick hairs at the base ; style slightly longer 

 than the stigma. Fruit a conical cluster of 4 3-gonal nutlets, slightly 

 aciculate-hairy at the base.
