This species approaches Cestrum bracteatum, (Link et 
Otto, Pl. Select. 1. tab. 6. Bot. Mag. 2974), but its leaves 
are neither lanceolate nor pubescent, nor have they any 
pseudo-stipules: they are 5 in. long, 13 broad, on a petiole 
6 to 8 lines in length. The peduncles of the racemes are 
from 2 to 3 in. long: the bracts are 6 lines long, 4 lines broad, 
with ciliate margins; the calyx is glabrous, tubular, 1 line 
long, with 5 short, erect, ciliolate teeth : the corolla with a very 
slender tube, swollen below the mouth, is 9 lines long, with a 
rotate border, the margins of the lobes externally are tomen- 
tous for one-third of their breadth on each side, which are 
turned in during estivation, so that they adhere together by 
these broad woolly surfaces: the included stamens. are in- 
serted above the middle of the tube, and arise out of as many 
tufts of spreading hairs, the anthers are rounded, 2-lobed,
