This species very closely resembles the last, but its leaves 
are not more than 4 inches long, and | inch broad, generally 
much smaller, pubescent on both: sides, and nearly equi- 
lateral ; the lobes of the calyx are ciliate, often serrulate ; 
the filaments are dilated, and membranaceous below, expand- 
ing above in a large inflated connective ; the anther cells are 
straight, sub 4-gonous, ventricose and turgid, of a yellow 
colour ; the style is longer than the stamens, and with the 
stigma intermediate between that of the last species and of P. 
fioribunda. It approaches P. ciliata, but the’ leaves are 
smaller, broader in proportion, not so much attenuated at the 
apex, and less pubescent. The racemes are shorter, 2 to 6 
inches long, with 4—6 to 10 flowers, which have the articula- 
tion of the pedicels close to the peduncle, so that when they 
fall off, the stem scarcely exhibits the persistent bases of the 
stalks observed in the other species.

The upper leaves are about the size of those of P. pubes- 
cens, and in like manner, as well as the stems and peduncle, 
are covered with articulate hairs; they are also geminate, un- 
equal, and sub 5-nerved. ‘The racemes are very short, and 
secund, growing out of the bifurcation of the branches; the 
pedicels are also articulated, and deciduous, characters quite 
in conformity with all the species above enumerated. Aublet 
describes and figures the fleshy ring at the base of the tube 
of the corolla, out of which the stamens originate, which he 
states to be long; straight, and approximate at the apex; the 
corolla is deeply 5-partite; the fruit is a spherical berry, 
about the: size of a cherry. A remarkable character is ob- 
servable in this plant, in the very large size of the lower 
leaves, which are about 1 foot in length, and 8 inches broad,
